Siobhan and veteran Burner Brenda are back from the dust with a brutally honest debrief of Burning Man 2025. From dust storms, rain, and 27-hour gate lines to surprise reunions, camp chaos, emotional curveballs, and art that hits you right in the soul, this episode dives into what the Playa really teaches you about resilience, community, and yourself.

Siobhan opens up about being a first-timer navigating anxiety, belonging, and the wild pride that comes from surviving the unimaginable. Brenda shares hard-won wisdom from her seven burns, including how to weather the mud (literal and emotional), handle relationship tensions, and find magic in the middle of the mess.

If you’ve ever wondered why people return to the desert year after year, or how anyone survives a week where your shoes disintegrate and your soul gets tested, this conversation is your inside look. Because Burning Man isn’t just about the burn.
It’s about the rebirth.
