If there was a theme in my life, it would be that, quite literally, everything dark and hard and scary and broken has burned something beautiful, every single one of those things, every single one.

Sarah's story is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and its ability to foster a supportive environment for those on their recovery journey. Her events and workshops offer a beacon of hope and a sense of community for anyone navigating the challenges of addiction.
