Sarah is a revelation

What a gift it is to spend time with Sarah in my earbuds. Her honesty, vulnerability, expertise, wit, strength, and good humour is a revelation in the crowded podcast space. Sarah’s podcast is a must-listen for artists who want to live their lives on their terms, and also for those who seek insight into the artistic life and mind.
