In Episode 6 of Almost Honest, Kylie Verzosa sits down with Sarah Lahbati for an intimate, deeply reflective conversation about identity, motherhood, and starting over in the public eye. Known publicly as an actress, style icon, and mother, Sarah opens up about growing up in front of the camera, navigating major life transitions, and learning how to choose herself in real time rather than in hindsight. This episode centers on healing, reinvention, and modern womanhood—exploring love after loss, the quiet work of rebuilding, and the courage it takes to redefine who you are beyond roles, expectations, and past versions of yourself.
