Sarah Gormley talks about how she grieved the death of her parents, how she found joy and gratitude too. She calls herself a joy broker. She describes grief as “this slippery thing.” This conversation was recorded before her fabulous memoir, THE ORDER OF THINGS: a Memoir about Chasing Joy, was published. It’s now out in the world and you can buy it wherever you buy your books.

Sarah Gormley is the author of THE ORDER OF THINGS: a Memoir about Chasing Joy, and an art gallery-owner living in Columbus, Ohio. Opened in 2019, Sarah Gormley Gallery represents more than thirty contemporary artists and operates from the belief that original art can be a source of joy for everyone. Gormley's undergraduate degree from DePauw University reinforced her early love for literature and writing. She also holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. In her corporate career, Gormley directed marketing efforts for global brands, including IMAX, Martha Stewart, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Adobe.
