My guest today is Sarah – a creative genius who pursues artwork in all forms, including comedy, acting, modeling, painting, podcasting, and writing.
Sarah has appeared on MTV’s Punk’d and Mad TV. She hosts the Not Cool podcast, performs stand-up regularly at the World Famous Comedy Store in West Hollywood, has opened for Margaret Cho and The Kims of Comedy with Bobby Lee, and continues to perform all over Los Angeles and the country.
Sarah grew up creating and performing to uplift others, but also as a means of escaping an unbearable and chaotic internal and external reality.
Sarah got sober in her early twenties, nine months after moving to Los Angeles. During those first nine months in Los Angeles, she hit multiple rock bottom moments - she was “living” out of her car, got a DUI, could count her ribs, lost everyone - and got sober when she was out of all options.
Sarah walks us through the aches of early sobriety, perspective shifts, tools to manage fear, self-sabotage, and the inherent difficulties of human life, as well as how she continues to stay driven and motivated - personally, professionally, and soberly.
I have tremendous admiration for Sarah, and frankly for any person who courageously puts a piece of themselves out there with their art, who can stand alone on stage and make complete strangers laugh. It’s a unique skill set I will never possess.
Outside of her many accomplishments and the advocacy work she’s done to humanize and amplify the voices of people who are not being heard, Sarah approaches life with a beautiful, contagious curiosity and open mind.
What if, instead of seeking oblivion by escaping from the world, we take a page from Sarah and turn toward it? What if instead of leaving the world behind, we immerse ourselves in it?
