In a world moving faster than ever, how do we stay grounded, real, and truly human?

In this powerful second episode of How to Stay Human, Tori and Kyle dive deep into the heart of what it means to be human, beyond the noise, beyond the performance, and beyond the algorithm. From embodiment practices to breathwork, from nature to nervous system regulation, this conversation is a call back to presence, sovereignty, and soul.

We explore why so many of us feel disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, and our purpose, and how to begin the journey home. You'll learn the power of micro-rituals, how to reframe stillness as sacred, and why imperfection might just be your greatest gift.

This is a soul-first conversation for anyone who feels the pressure to perform but longs to just be. If you've ever wondered, “Why do I feel off?” or “How do I get back to myself?”—this episode is for you.

What We Talk About:

The spiritual and biological layers of what makes us human

Why disconnection is often a result of digital overwhelm

The dangers of hyper-productivity and the machine mindset

Breath as the bridge between the seen and unseen

Kyle’s story of healing through nature and returning to the Big Island

Tori’s first awakening through intentional breathwork

Creating rituals for embodiment, creativity, and presence

Building homes within ourselves—and the relationships that walk into them

The importance of sovereignty, boundaries, and sacred pause

What’s coming next in the series: purpose, presence, and real-world integration
