Hey everyone — this week's episode is one I really enjoyed. I'd worked briefly with Sarah in the past but didn't know much of her story, and this conversation filled in a lot of gaps.

Sarah's been in the industry for over fifteen years — QA, production, a stint in marketing she describes as a "sabbatical", and a deliberate step away to become a Mum. She's candid and funny and very clear-eyed about how she works and what she needs from a role.

Highlights:

How her mom — who played Duck Hunt through pregnancy — essentially handed her a career before she even knew she wanted one
The chance encounter in a Japanese class that got her first industry job
Why she thinks every Producer should spend time in marketing (even if, like Sarah, they end up hating it)
Her philosophy for joining new teams: become a cog in the machine first, ask questions second, change things third
The moment she decided to leave ZOS to stay home with her daughter — and how a tarot reading in Gettysburg was involved
Where she is now: ready to get back in the saddle, but working through what that actually means as a parent

It's an honest conversation about a career that's taken some real turns, and a person who's always found her way back to the thing she loves.

Go give it a listen.
