Human Enough is a podcast about the messy, beautiful experience of being human. Each episode explores real stories, honest conversations, and thoughtful reflections on identity, emotions, growth, relationships, purpose, and the quiet pressure to “have it all together.” It’s a space where vulnerability is not only allowed but welcomed—because being human isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being enough as you are.

What Color Is Your Brain? Sheila Glazov on Personality, Connection, and Understanding Others 01.10.2026 41mWhy do some people feel like a song in your heart while others can feel like a pain in the neck?Why can one team member seem like a gold medal winner while another seems impossible to understand?And why can two people look at exactly the same situation and walk away with completely different perspectives?Sheila Glazov is a best-selling author, award-winning personality expert, internationally known professional speaker, educator, and coach. Her What Color Is Your Brain?® methodology offers a simple and memorable way to understand the different ways people think, communicate, solve problems, and build relationships.Inspired by her experiences as an educator and creative problem-solving facilitator, Sheila developed the Brain Color framework after seeing talented people dismiss one another’s ideas instead of using their differences to create better solutions.In this conversation, Sheila explains what it means for each of us to be a “BrainBow,” why understanding someone’s personality can change the way we communicate with them, and how her approach can help reduce conflict at work, at home, and in our communities.We explore personality differences, leadership, teamwork, parenting, money, conflict, children, and the difference between accepting someone and simply tolerating them.Most importantly, Sheila shares why she believes we can replace assumptions with curiosity, criticism with communication, and conflict with connection.Connect with Sheila Glazov:https://sheilaglazov.com/ -
From Deconstruction to Reconstruction: Cathy Colver Garland’s Journey of Faith 30.09.2026 32mWhat happens when the faith you inherited is no longer enough?In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Cathy Colver Garland, co-author of Revelationship: Transformative Intimacy With Christ, which she wrote with her father, Dr. Randy Colver.Cathy’s journey with faith has included seasons of deep questioning, deconstruction, loss, divorce, miscarriage, heartbreak, physical trauma, and a ten-year wait for the birth of her son.But through those experiences, she says it was the revelation of God’s nature — the God who sees her, keeps His promises, and declares truth about who she is — that kept hope alive.At just thirteen years old, Cathy began questioning Christianity and spent a year studying major world religions before ultimately returning to her Christian faith. Decades later, she describes that experience as the beginning of a reconstruction of her faith.We talk about deconstruction and reconstruction, suffering and motherhood, hearing God’s voice, prayer that gets answers, surrender, church wounds, and what it means to move from simply believing in God to experiencing what Cathy calls a Revelationship with Him.Connect with Cathy Colver Garlandhttps://www.revelationship.net/ -
From Self-Control to Self-Trust: Jeffrey Siegel on Food, Identity, and the High-Performing Man 30.09.2026 44mWhat if the problem isn’t that you don’t know enough about nutrition?What if you already know exactly what you’re “supposed” to do—but something deeper keeps getting in the way?Jeffrey Siegel is a men’s wellness and life coach, Harvard teaching fellow, and author of Eating 2.0: How to Eat Confidently in an Ultra-Processed World. For more than a decade, he has worked with high-performing men who can be disciplined and successful in almost every area of life, yet feel completely stuck when it comes to food, body image, and health.In this conversation, Jeff takes us beneath diets, calories, and willpower to explore what is really happening when someone repeatedly falls into the same patterns.We talk about the gap between knowing and doing, the Monday-to-Thursday discipline followed by the weekend “screw it” reaction, and why rigid control and “anything goes” eating can actually feed each other.Jeff also introduces his framework of the four Inner Eaters—Survival, Pleasure, Social, and Strategic—and explains why each part is trying to meet a legitimate need.This is ultimately a conversation about much more than food.It’s about identity, stress, control, self-trust, and what happens when the pursuit of becoming healthier starts to become another way of believing you’re never quite enough.Connect with Jeffrey: jeffsiegelwellness.com -
From Hollywood to Ground Zero: Solange Schwalbe on Service, Resilience, and the Stories We Carry 30.09.2026 25mWhat compels someone to leave their familiar life behind and travel toward one of the most devastating scenes in modern history?In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Emmy Award–winning motion picture sound editor and author Solange Schwalbe.After September 11, Solange traveled to New York, initially volunteering with the Salvation Army before eventually becoming a safety monitor inside the Pit at Ground Zero.For four months, she worked alongside more than 1,500 responders and was one of only four women working inside the Pit.Her experience brought her into close contact with the people behind the recovery effort — their courage, exhaustion, relationships, humor, grief, and humanity.We talk about what compelled her to go, how her Hollywood career prepared her — and didn’t prepare her — for Ground Zero, the people she met, the moments that stayed with her, and why some stories remain inside us for years before we’re ready to tell them.Her memoir, I’m Not Supposed to Know This: An Unlikely Account of Ground Zero After the 9/11 Attacks, documents that extraordinary chapter of her life.Connect with Solange Schwalbehttps://imnotsupposedtoknowthis.com/ -
The Trouble with Jesus: Constance Hastings on Faith, Doubt, and the Man We Think We Know 30.09.2026 36mWhat happens when someone who never intended to believe in Jesus finds herself spending her life wrestling with his story, his teachings, and the questions he leaves behind?In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Constance Hastings, author of The Trouble with Jesus.Raised by non-religious parents and educated in a Christian school, Constance never imagined that she would enter formal church ministry, become ordained clergy, or write a book about Jesus.But life took her somewhere she never expected to go.A lover of great literature, teacher of disadvantaged students, ordained minister, and mental health counselor outside the church, Constance brings an outsider’s perspective to a story that millions of people believe they already understand.We talk about faith and doubt, fear and love, skepticism, the questions we don’t always feel safe asking, and why Jesus can still be such a disruptive figure.This isn’t simply a conversation about what people believe.It’s a conversation about what happens when we’re willing to question what we think we already know.

Rethinking Manhood: Duncan Rich on Vulnerability, Connection, and Healing 30.09.2026 28mWhat happens when a man becomes disconnected from parts of himself just to survive?Duncan Rich is a men’s coach, somatic facilitator, lifelong artist and musician, husband, father, and co-founder of MELD Community — an organization focused on transforming men’s mental, physical, and emotional wellness.His own journey began with a tendency to dissociate and a desire to heal the deep and generational wounds of his upbringing. Along the way, he confronted addiction and substance abuse and eventually discovered men’s work as a path toward reconnecting with the parts of himself he had learned to disconnect from.Today, through MELD, Duncan helps men work through stress, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, and emotional disconnection using science-based somatic practices and emotional exploration.In this conversation, Duncan shares what his own healing journey taught him about masculinity, vulnerability, embodiment, fatherhood, and why he believes men are not broken and don’t need to be fixed.We explore what happens when men spend years living from the neck up, why vulnerability can feel threatening, how trauma can disconnect us from ourselves, and what becomes possible when men begin bringing more of themselves back online.Connect with Duncan Rich and MELD:http://meld.community/ -
Unlocking Cash Flow: Bill Ferrier on Collections and Customer Relationships 30.09.2026 31mWhat if some of the cash your company needs isn’t sitting in the bank—but is sitting in your customers’ accounts?In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Bill Ferrier, founder of Ready Set Collect, who has nearly 40 years of experience in the credit and collections industry.Bill helps companies turn overdue accounts receivable into cash flow while teaching in-house collection teams how to become more confident, professional, and effective.But this conversation isn’t simply about getting people to pay.It’s about understanding why customers don’t pay, recognizing danger signals before an account becomes seriously delinquent, overcoming payment objections, reducing DSO, and finding a way to collect money without unnecessarily damaging the customer relationship.We explore the psychology behind payment conversations, the difference between pressure and partnership, and why better collection skills can have a direct impact on cash flow and working capital.Learn more about Bill and Ready Set Collect:http://readysetcollect.ca/ -

The Church of Psychedelics: Rethinking Spirituality and Consciousness 30.09.2026 41mWhat happens when you begin questioning everything you thought you knew about consciousness, spirituality, religion, and reality?In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Doug Red Hail Pineda, founder of The Church of Psychedelics, to explore the provocative intersection of psychedelics, spirituality, consciousness, personal transformation, and the future of human evolution.Doug challenges conventional ideas about how we understand ourselves and the world around us, while inviting us to look more deeply at the questions we often avoid.We talk about psychedelic experiences, mystical experiences, ancient plant medicine, spirituality, personal transformation, microdosing, and what it might mean to become more conscious.Most importantly, we explore a question at the heart of being human:How much of what we believe about ourselves and reality have we actually examined for ourselves?Learn more about Doug and The Church of Psychedelics:https://www.thechurchofpsychedelics.com/ -
When “Normal” Doesn’t Feel Normal: JeffreyBrown onWomen’s Health, Hormones and Finding theRoot Cause 30.09.2026 29mFor many women, painful periods, PMS, fatigue, and hormonal symptoms become something they’re simply expected to live with.But what happens when “common” gets confused with “normal”?Jeffrey Brown is an osteopathic functional medicine physician who spent years practicing conventional medicine before becoming increasingly concerned about how women’s health was being overlooked and oversimplified.After becoming board-certified in functional and regenerative medicine, Jeffrey began taking a different approach — looking beyond symptoms and exploring the connections between hormones, inflammation, gut health, lifestyle, and overall well-being.For more than 15 years, he has helped women better understand their bodies, reclaim their energy, and work toward calmer, more manageable cycles.In this conversation, Jeffrey shares why women are often dismissed when they talk about hormonal symptoms, what painful periods may be telling us, why someone can have “normal” test results and still feel anything but normal, and what it means to stop accepting monthly suffering as something women simply have to endure.We explore the difference between treating symptoms and looking for underlying factors, the emotional impact of feeling unheard, and how women can begin paying closer attention to what their bodies are communicating.Connect with Jeffrey Brown:https://hormonehealthwithdrbrown.com/ -
From Addiction to Purpose: Dave Letterfly Knoderer on Creativity, Recovery and Reinventing Your Life 30.09.2026 36mWhat if the parts of your life that feel like failures are actually invitations to become someone new?In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Dave Letterfly Knoderer, a five-book author, award-winning performer, entrepreneur, artist, speaker, and lifelong creative whose journey has taken him from the circus and classical horsemanship to entrepreneurship, addiction and recovery, and a remarkably unconventional life on the road.Dave has spent more than 50 years creating, performing, traveling, and reinventing himself. But behind the creativity is a deeper story of struggle, recovery, fear, and discovering a renewed sense of purpose.We talk about creativity, peak performance, entrepreneurship, failure, recovery, anxiety, fear, service, and what happens when you stop seeing life’s challenges as the end of the story.Dave’s message is ultimately about possibility: even when life feels dark, there can still be a way forward.Learn more about Dave Letterfly Knoderer:http://letterfly.com/ -
Sitting With God: Rich Lewis on Centering Prayer, Silence, and Discovering Your True Self 28.09.2026 34mWhat happens when we stop trying to fill every quiet moment and simply sit in silence?Rich Lewis is an author, speaker, and coach who helps people slow down, become more aware of God’s presence, and discover a deeper sense of peace, clarity, and direction through centering prayer.In 2013, Rich began exploring silent prayer. At first, sitting in silence was difficult. His mind wandered, the practice felt unfamiliar, and he wasn’t sure he was doing it correctly.Then he discovered centering prayer.Since June 1, 2014, Rich has practiced centering prayer every day. Over time, the practice became more than a spiritual discipline — it became a way of becoming calmer, more grounded, and more attentive to God’s presence and guidance.His journey became the foundation for his book, Sitting with God: A Journey to Your True Self Through Centering Prayer.In this conversation, Rich and Emmanuel explore what it means to discover your true self, why silence can be uncomfortable, how centering prayer works, and what can happen when we create space to listen rather than constantly searching for answers.We also explore journaling, gratitude, affirmations, visualization, and the small practices that can help us become more aware of what may be stirring within us — and take the next faithful step.Connect with Rich Lewis:https://silenceteaches.com/ -
Control the Controllables: Dan MacQueen on Change, Confidence, and Momentum 27.09.2026 30mAt 28, Dan MacQueen suffered a life-threatening brain hemorrhage that left him fighting to relearn how to walk, talk, and smile. A second major setback followed a year later, forcing him to confront uncertainty all over again.Years later, Dan would spend more than a decade at Hootsuite, helping organizations adopt new technology, navigate change, and deliver more than 1,000 professional learning sessions internationally.Today, he is an international keynote speaker helping leaders and teams think clearly, make better decisions, and keep moving when nothing is certain.In this conversation, Dan shares what surviving two brain surgeries taught him about resilience, agency, identity, motivation, discipline, and the power of taking the next step even when you don’t know where the road leads.We explore his shift from “Why Me?” to “Try Me,” why resilience alone isn’t enough, how confidence is built through evidence, and why the most useful question in uncertain moments may simply be:What can I do next?Connect with Dan MacQueen:http://www.macqueendan.com/ -
Who Does Jesus Say You Are? Kristen Wambach on Spiritual Courage, and Living Faith in Real Life 25.09.2026 42mWhat if the deeper question isn’t simply, “What would Jesus do?” but, “Who does Jesus say that I am?”In this episode of HUMAN ENOUGH, I sit down with Kristen Wambach, an acclaimed author, spiritual investigative journalist, leadership strategist, and host of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast.Kristen has spent decades exploring spiritual transformation and what she describes as “Heaven Engagement” — helping people develop their spiritual senses, deepen their relationship with God, and connect their faith with the realities of everyday life.We talk about identity, purpose, spiritual courage, hearing God, and what it means to bring faith into places where we don’t always expect it — including entrepreneurship, leadership, decision-making, and the ordinary pressures of Monday morning.Kristen also explains her distinction between the “Logos” and “Rhema” mind, why she believes spiritual experiences can be made practical, and how asking Jesus questions directly has shaped her own journey.This is a conversation about faith not simply as something we believe, but as something we learn to live. -

You Were Never Broken: Ali Christos on Consciousness, Hidden Patterns, and Finding Your Way Within 22.09.2026 51mWhat happens when the life you spent years building suddenly stops feeling like the life you’re meant to live?Ali Christos spent more than 15 years in business, real estate, and coaching before a difficult divorce, encounters with mortality, and years of Vipassana meditation pulled the floor out from under the identity he had built.That unraveling became the doorway into a deeper exploration of consciousness, the subconscious mind, spirituality, and personal transformation.Today, Ali is a Quantum Hypnosis Practitioner, meditation teacher, author, speaker, and founder of the Conscious Practitioner Network. Through Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique and Beyond Quantum Healing sessions, he helps people explore the patterns, emotions, beliefs, memories, and inner guidance that may be influencing their lives.In this conversation, we explore why people can know what they “should” do and still feel stuck, what happens when the analytical mind becomes quiet, how people interpret experiences involving the Higher Self and past-life narratives, and what it actually means to integrate an inner breakthrough into ordinary life.At the heart of Ali’s work is a simple idea:You were never broken.
