Ever feel like you’re climbing an endless ice mountain in the middle of a blizzard? Yeah… same.

In this week’s episode, Riley and Isa sit down for an honest, heartfelt reflection on the past year. From moments that made them proud to ones that kept them humble, the girls unpack the highs, the lows, and everything in between. They revisit familiar themes like burnout, timelines, and comparison, this time with fresh perspective and a lot of laughter.

Expect high energy, vulnerability, and plenty of silliness as the girls reflect, reset, and remind you that you’re not alone on the climb.

After a streak of amazing guests, Riley & Isa are settling back into the home studio for a little holiday catch-up! The girls kick things off by reflecting on what they’ve learned from their guests the past few weeks - creating your own opportunities, booking the room by being unapologetically yourself, and navigating the imposter-syndrome spiral.

Then it’s straight into a cozy holiday catch-up: Thanksgiving recap, Spotify Wrapped chaos, and Christmas wishlists - plus a quick pop-culture check-in with all things Dancing With The Stars finale, "Wicked: For Good", and "Stranger Things" Season 5. Consider this your official kickoff to the holiday season!

This week on Not From Here, Riley and Isa are joined by multifaceted artist and actress, Sarah Helbringer! Originally from Buffalo, New York, Sarah shares the story of her move to New York City after undergrad and the creative path she’s carved out for herself since.

She highlights several standout projects, including her Netflix credits such as acting in Tyler Perry’s Six Triple Eight and working as Anna Camp’s body double in Season Five of the hit series YOU. Sarah also reveals that she recently wrapped filming on the upcoming Netflix film Heartland, starring Jessica Chastain, and gives a glimpse into what that experience was like.

Beyond her on-set work, Sarah dives into memorable stories from her commercial shoots—like a fun behind-the-scenes moment from filming a spot for Francesca’s—and talks about her unique side jobs as a fit model. Riley and Isa also celebrate her impressive accomplishment of running the NYC Marathon, which she reflects on with humor and heart.

Filled with warmth and inspiring creative insights, this episode offers a dynamic behind-the-scenes look at an artist’s life. From working on set to building her own opportunities, Sarah brings a refreshing perspective on what it means to grow, hustle, and create in New York City.
