Announcing the New Staying Human Podcast

Launching May 26th!

Today, I’m excited to announce the Staying Human Podcast, a new part of our Staying Human ecosystem that will allow us to hear from a new set of inspiring voices about how to build a life of connection, meaning, and joy.

You can watch the podcast trailer below to get a glimpse of what we have been building.

Expanding Our Community

When I started this Substack, my goal was to explore how we can live truly fulfilling lives. The podcast is a natural extension of that mission. It’s an invitation to listen to provocative and personal conversations about what it actually looks like to live well in today’s complicated world.

Starting May 26, I’ll be sitting down with thinkers, authors, and healers to tackle the big questions: how we find joy amidst heartbreak, how we define success on our own terms, and how we build the relationships that give life its true value.

What’s Coming First

Our first episode features the wonderful Kate Bowler. As a historian and author who has faced profound personal challenges, Kate offers a unique perspective on navigating the twists and turns of modern life and finding beauty in the things we can’t “fix.”

New episodes will drop every Tuesday. You can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your audio.
