How to be a Human Being in the World with Dr. Kathleen Young

Do you ever feel like everyone around you has it all together? Like life is so much easier for everyone else? Well, it isn’t. We are all just doing the best we can. We all have wins, joy, and happiness, and we all have losses, pain and grief. This is what makes us human. The hard stuff is happening to us all.

This podcast will explore all the things that people aren’t talking about and showcase the strength, resilience, and humanity in all of us. It will show you how to embrace the messy parts of life and unapologetically be more of who you really are so that you can create a life you love.
