Welcome to Proper Mental episode 98 with Sarah Callaghan, who is an award-winning comedian, spoken word artist and writer.
Sarah has been performing stand up for over a decade and has gigged all over the world. She is also a respected spoken word artist, performing solo and with a band.
Sarah’s poetry is informed by personal experience and her work discusses childhood trauma, heart break and other aspects of everyday life.
Sarah and I caught up to chat about her own experiences with mental health and how it inspires her creative process.
We chat about living authentically and choosing your own path, the differences between writing comedy and poetry, and we chat about spirituality, self-belief and the challenges of living a creative life.
I knew going in to this conversation that it was going to be good and it did not disappoint! It was awesome to hear first-hand about Sarah’s way of looking at her life and her work and I really got a lot out of speaking with her.
