    Episode 4 What is this podcast about?

    In our fourth episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the why behind this podcast — why I started it, what it means to me, and what I hope it brings to you.

    Talk to a Human is a space for honest conversations about the human experience. Here, we talk about connection, vulnerability, growth, and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human. I’ll share personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and the kind of advice I wish someone had given me — and I’ll also sit down with guests who will share their own experiences, wisdom, and perspectives.

    This podcast exists to remind you that you're not alone. No matter what you're going through, there’s someone out there who gets it — and this is a place where those stories get to be heard.

    If you're looking for real talk, thoughtful reflection, and a little light in the dark, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you’re here.

    Episode 3 Finding Joy

    In this solo episode, I’m opening up about something deeply personal—how I realized I had lost my sense of joy, and the winding, sometimes messy journey I took to find it again. Life got busy, heavy, and full of “shoulds,” and somewhere along the way, joy quietly slipped out the back door.

    I’ll share the moment that woke me up, the steps (and missteps) I took to reconnect with what lights me up, and the small things I started doing differently that made a big impact. Whether you’re feeling a little off or completely disconnected from joy, this episode is for you.

    I'll also offer a few simple, approachable ways you can start inviting joy back into your own life—no big life overhauls required.

    This one’s from the heart.
