Feeling Human
by Avik .
Feeling Human is a mental health and emotional wellbeing podcast about the parts of life we often keep hidden: anxiety, loneliness, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, grief, vulnerability, and the quiet work of healing. Through honest reflections and meaningful conversations with mental health professionals, therapists, psychologists, wellness experts, authors, and people with lived experiences, we explore what it means to understand ourselves and navigate life's emotional challenges. We talk about emotional healing, self-acceptance, burnout, relationships, childhood experiences, boundaries, self-worth, identity, resilience, mindfulness, and personal growth.
