This week's episode is a powerful testament to resilience and reinvention. Sarah King is the founder of Aurora House, a creative community space dedicated to authentic expression, connection, and empowerment for women and non-binary individuals.
Before creating this sanctuary, Sarah spent years in the high-pressure world of tech, working as a Chief Operating Officer at an AI start up based in Austin, TX. She led technical teams, while traveling constantly, fundraising, and navigating the relentless demands of the AI industry. But behind the scenes, she was also battling debilitating endometriosis pain and the mental toll of balancing her role with the impact of this chronic illness. In 2023, after finally receiving a diagnosis and undergoing an intense surgery removing stage 4 endometriosis from multiple organs throughout her torso, she knew something had to change.
That turning point led her to step away from the corporate world and build something radically different. Aurora House is the manifestation of that shift—a place where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and tap into the creativity and community that so many of us crave.
Today, we’re diving into Sarah’s story—what led to this transformation, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and what it truly means to create a life aligned with your values.
