In this episode, Sarah shares how she spent most of her childhood growing up in a dysfunctional family. Her time was shared between her father and mother, and her mother struggled with alcoholism. She didn’t have a say as a child about where she wanted to be, so as her mother's addiction destroyed everything in its path, Sarah parented herself. After a drawn out 5 year custody battle, Sarah moved in with her father full time. Now that she was no longer in survival mode she could sit with the feelings, and had to face the anxiety and depression that followed. Sarah talks about how she was internally combusting. Luckily, her father walked into her bedroom one day and witnessed her self destructive behaviours - this was a turning point. Therapy followed and healing began. Despite all of the challenges she encountered along the way, Sarah has made her way to Nashville to pursue her music career as a singer/songwriter. Her message is that you get to choose your own legacy.

A Michigan-born Nashvillian, Sarah Faith is an artist-songwriter that builds her musical catalog and sound around her life’s experiences. As an Indie Alternative/Americana artist, Sarah has been strongly influenced by a diverse musical background including classic rock, alternative, and some country music. Her warm, soulful voice brings fans songs written about close-to-the-heart stories with a distinct kind of vulnerability and realness.
