In this deeply moving episode of Fairy & Flame, we sit down with Sara Adams—author, singer, philanthropist, and sister to our beloved Fairy, Kathryn—for a conversation that holds both the unimaginable and the sacred.
Sara shares the story of losing her daughter, Alice Adams, to a horrific act of violence—an experience no mother, no family, should ever have to endure. And yet, within that grief, Sara reveals something extraordinary: a way of holding loss with grace, openness, and profound humanity.
This is not a conversation about “moving on” or “fixing” grief.
It’s about being with it.
It’s about allowing it to move through not just one person—but an entire community.
In a world that often isolates grief or assigns ownership to it, Sara chose something different. She allowed others to grieve alongside her. She opened the circle. And in doing so, created space for collective healing, remembrance, and love that continues beyond physical loss.
Together, we explore:
• What it means to grieve as a mother—and as a community
• The complexity and individuality of grief (there is no “right” way)
• How Sara held space for others even in her deepest pain
• The legacy of Alice and the love that continues to ripple outward
• Finding grace, meaning, and connection in the aftermath of tragedy
This episode is tender, raw, and deeply human.
If you have ever experienced loss—or walked alongside someone who has—this conversation will meet you there.
Content Note: This episode discusses the loss of a child and may be difficult for some listeners. Please listen with care.

Before we dive into today’s episode, we want to share one of the most intentional creations we’ve ever made — our Ascension Candle.
We didn’t create this just to smell good…
we created it to shift energy.
This candle was designed as a ritual tool — something you can light when you meditate, journal, cleanse your space, or simply need a moment to come back to yourself.
The blend is layered and grounding, yet elevating — built from clean, non-toxic ingredients and infused with a complex combination of pure essential oils chosen to calm the nervous system, clear stagnant energy, and gently lift your frequency.
It’s the candle we light when:
• we record the podcast
• we reset after a long day
• we need clarity
• or when the room just feels off
And once it’s finished, the vessel is intentionally created to be up-cycled into a keepsake or ritual container — because nothing about this piece is disposable.
