Sarah Smith returns to share her spiritual journey from traditional Christianity to finding her own path through sobriety, and how this transformation has influenced her music career spanning over 26 years.

• Raised in a Christian family with her mother as choir director and substitute minister
• Found first sobriety at 21 when a band leader warned her about the dangers of addiction in the music industry
• Spent seven years sober immersing herself in spiritual literature from authors like Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra
• Experienced a 10-year relapse before finding sustained recovery
• Uses music as a conduit for healing, collaborating with fans to transform their stories into songs
• Created meaningful works including legacy songs for people facing terminal illness and those grieving loved ones lost to addiction
• Maintains sobriety in the music industry through boundaries, self-awareness, and having exit strategies
• Recently released compilation album "Shine Bright" featuring favorite tracks from 2012-present
• Changed her perspective from seeking help from a higher power to becoming a vessel for divine creativity
