On how it felt for Navarrette to get the opportunity to show a positive mental health message for young fans who may be experiencing the same struggles as Sarah, Navarrette said, "Ooh, beautiful question. I was extremely proud of Sarah in that moment. It was amazing to have it come out of my mouth because I feel like at the moment, sometimes people, especially me, can bottle up." As meaningful as these arcs often are to fans, these scenes equally impact the actors who bring them to life. Navarrette added, "To play that through a character has brought strength in myself to say, no, I'm extremely proud of what I've come from and to know where Sarah's come from and to know where she is now and also to know that the audience hasn't necessarily seen all of her mental struggles."
Sarah's struggles impact Navarette's acting choices in ways fans might not even realize. "[There are] definitely other things going on inside of her head that [aren't] pictured a lot. For the audience who does know what that feels like and to see the clues that she leaves, that is due to her mental health," she explained. "I think that message was very strong and directed to the people who, if you know, you know. That was a very important moment for me."
