Welcome back! This episode's guest, Sarah Akiba, is a celebrity stylist, creative director, and philanthropist – but beyond the titles, she’s a woman who leads with purpose, heart, and soul. As the founder of AWOM (Angel Watching Over Me), Sarah has built a space where community, vulnerability, and empowerment collide. Now called the Spaces, Sarah is crushing the game and serves as your favorite source of inspiration, whether that's on real life real talk or fashion, or anything aesthetics. She is it. Her. All of the above.

In PART ONE of this two part series, Sarah gets real about resilience, spirituality, and self-worth. From navigating the pain of losing herself in a relationship, to reclaiming her voice and stepping into a deep comeback, she opens up about the inner work, the spiritual growth, and the mindset shift that brought her back to life. 

This episode is a raw reminder that healing starts from within, because at the end of the day it's you vs. you. Tune in!
