I first met Sarah Lancaster at an intimate dinner hosted by my best friend— the kind of get together that begins with rosé and ends with lifelong bonds (and maybe a little gossip). You know you’ve entered a new life era when your inner circle includes former teen stars, courtroom sharks, and women who treat a line call on the pickleball court like it’s center court at Wimbledon.
Sarah and I clicked instantly, her warmth immediately disarming. I’m also happy to report she’s not just my doubles partner in gold medal glory (ask us about our championship, we’ll gladly tell you the whole saga), she’s also one of the kindest, most grounded women I’ve had the joy of meeting in my forties. Quick with a joke, quicker with a hug, she’s my kind of person: fun, funny, full of depth and unexpected magic. More than that, she is refreshingly un-Hollywood despite her decades-long career in the spotlight.
