Ep. 130 - Sarah Callaghan

The terms hard-working and \\u201cjack of all trades\\u201d get thrown around a lot, but Sarah Callaghan really embodies the two. She\\u2019s been a comedian for over ten years with shows across the world from Australia to Austria, and she made the move into poetry when she used it as a tool to work through a difficult period of her life. Poetry was a space that allowed for what comedy didn\\u2019t; a space where messages didn\\u2019t necessarily have to be funny to be let out and to be seriously received by an audience. It gave her a space to speak more openly about mental health. We also discuss the importance of creative collaboration, share some performance stories, and the difficulties of navigating the trappings of social media.
