    <description>Welcome to *Human, a space for dialogue about how we see the world. 

This is an exploration of how our internal living systems inform how we navigate our lives. We are so thankful for those who have made their stories available for all of us to take in. 

Here, you’ll listen to people’s real experiences and see how it has shaped the processing of their world, and we hope along the way you’ll discover insight into your own story too.

This is an invitation into a deeper exploration of who you are and what your life is meant to hold. If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or pressured to “figure it all out,” you are not alone.</description>
