Ep 201 Sarah Firth - The Polyhuman Experience: Embracing Complex Curiosity as a Catalyst for Connection


Listen Later

Today we wander into the wild tangle that is Sarah Firth’s world—a place where curiosity is currency and difference is pure gold. Sarah calls herself a polyhuman, and you’ll feel why as she opens up about neurodivergence, the grit and grace of making art, and the small, daily rituals that stitch meaning into our messy lives.

This is a conversation about courage and kindness, about owning our impact while staying tender enough to connect. It’s an invitation to question the systems around us, take responsibility for the ripples we make, and revel in the glorious complexity of being human.

We talked about:

  • Being a polyhuman & adapting identity based on context
  • How curiosity drives her interactions, leading to meaningful connections
  • Neurodivergence has shaped her understanding of herself & her creativity
  • Why art in all its forms serve as a medium for exploration & expression of complex emotions
  • Courage is found in embracing differences & challenging mainstream narratives
  • The creative process is iterative, involving learning from peers & experiences
  • Humanity is complex,  understanding this complexity fosters empathy
  • Rituals in daily life can create meaning & connection to the world
  • Finding 'enoughness' involves balancing personal joy with systemic responsibilities.
