Sarah Marshall has lived a lot of different lives. She served in the U.S. Navy, built a career in engineering and technology leadership, practiced martial arts, traveled the world, and eventually became a novelist. But one of the biggest transformations in her life came when she finally stopped trying to outrun a part of herself she had been hiding and transitioned. In this episode, Sarah talks about what it meant to spend years feeling like she was living behind a barrier, and the moment she realized she could no longer keep waiting for her life to begin. Sarah also takes us deep into Burning Man, where more than 20 years of participation, camp leadership, and community building profoundly changed her relationship with belonging. She explains how the Burning Man gift economy forced her to confront the ways she was holding herself back, and how that experience eventually became the seed for her first novel, Playa Dust in My Soul. What makes Sarah's creative journey especially fascinating is that the book took more than 20 years of writing, rewriting, feedback, failure, and persistence before it was finally published. We talk about why community is something we choose, how failure can become a teacher, and what happens when the thing you're creating turns out to reveal far more about you than you ever intended.

Sometimes the barrier keeping us from community isn't the world around us, but the walls we've built to protect ourselves. Being willing to receive can be just as important as being willing to give. A creative idea doesn't have to arrive fully formed. Sarah spent more than 20 years returning to the same story. Failure can be a teacher instead of a verdict. You don't have to identify as a writer before you start writing. The people around us can become part of the creative process, helping us make our work more authentic and more honest. Community isn't necessarily something we find. Sometimes it's something we choose and build. Creative work can reveal things about ourselves that we didn't consciously know we were putting into it. Growth doesn't have to come from obligation or overachievement. It can come from curiosity, discovery, and the willingness to see what's next. Learn more about your ad choices.
