Sarah Spencer takes us on a journey of transformation, from corporate employee to artist, radio host, and community activist while navigating major life transitions and personal growth.

• Moving from Canada to Chicago represents a complete life reset
• Transitioning from property appraiser to artist required sitting with uncomfortable feelings of identity loss
• Meeting her husband at Burning Man led to love, marriage, and eventually motherhood
• Postpartum anxiety pushed her toward therapy, which became a transformative force
• Overcoming extreme fear of public speaking by trying stand-up comedy
• Using privilege for community good rather than feeling guilt
• Creating art as therapy during emotionally challenging times
• Finding your authentic voice and accepting that not everyone will appreciate it
• Learning to face fears rather than avoid them—bravery isn't absence of fear but acting despite it
• Developing the mantra: "I am a spirit having a human experience"

Find Sarah's art on Instagram @IOtheAlien and join her for the upcoming Picture This VIP Club at CraftyMonkies starting in June 2025.
