How To Be Human, by Sarah K Peck

A deeper look at leadership, culture, and connection. How we talk to each other, how we think, how we lead, and how we live together. From friendship to business to parenting, let's talk about all of it.

How We Lead

The changing world of work, business, and leadership. Let's build a leadership culture that intersects more beautifully with life's ebbs and flows.

Culture Change

Rethinking what we define as "normal," what we stand for, and how to live in better alignment with our values.

Startup Parent

Running a business and you've got kids? It's a lot. Join us for insightful conversations (and occasional rants) about entrepreneurship, parenting, leadership, and work.

How We Relate

Connection, community, and friendship are so deeply important. To our health, vibrance, and aliveness — as well as to our futures. I write about how we talk to each other, build community, deepen friendships, and be kind to one another.

How We Mother

How we mother, and how we make humans. Essays, rants and raves on parenting, work, culture and the unseen labor that holds everything up.

How We Talk

Communication, connection, deep conversations, and how we talk to each other

Advice Columns

I ask my friends, colleagues, and trusted advisors to weigh in on your questions. Running a business and you've got kids? We taught about entrepreneurship, parenting, leadership, work culture, and yes, dealing with kids. Brought to you by Sarah K Peck, this is a private, members-only advice column and pop-up podcast for people who upgrade to become paid subscribers.

How We Gather

Rooms, circles, and communities, and what makes them work. Essays on facilitation, group design, and the craft of bringing people together, for anyone who hosts, leads, or longs to belong to a good room.

How We Make It Work

Work and parenting pull in opposite directions, and it's incredibly hard, especially given our current cultural norms. We'll write honestly about how to keep working, how to survive the hard years, what gets harder, and what raising humans teaches us about how we show up, live, and lead.

How We Think

The inner work of shifting your psychology so that you can see the world in new ways.

How We Feel

On the emotions that come with being a person: the hard ones, the good ones, and the ones we don't have names for. Permission to feel it, plus a few things to try.

How We Rest

Most of us were taught that rest comes last. Here I write about tiredness that sleep doesn't fix, small ways to recover in a full life, and how to stop treating rest as something you have to deserve.

How We Heal

Recovery that doesn't pretend nothing happened. Essays on trauma, grief, burnout, and the long, uneven work of coming back to yourself and to each other.
