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 if the darkness you’re in isn’t punishment, but preparation?
In this soul-stirring solo episode, Tori Gordon unpacks what it means to be in the messy middle—that wilderness between who you were and who you're becoming. Through biblical metaphor, personal storytelling, and spiritual wisdom, she offers a tender and truthful roadmap for anyone navigating uncertainty, grief, transition, or the silent in-between seasons of life.

From walking away from her marriage with no plan, to learning how to trust divine timing, Tori shares how surrendering control is sometimes the only way forward—and how the desert can become holy ground.

Whether you're in a career shift, a breakup, a spiritual awakening, or simply unsure of what’s next—this episode is your reminder:
You’re not lost. You’re being led.

• What the “wilderness season” really means (biblical and personal reflections)
• Why your nervous system craves clarity but your soul longs for truth
• The power of spiritual GPS: listening for the next prompt

After six years and over 250 episodes, The Coachable Podcast is evolving.

In this deeply personal and timely solo episode, host Tori Gordon shares why the show is rebranding to How To Stay Human—a podcast for truth seekers, soul rememberers, and those longing to feel in a world that tells us to perform.

Tori explores the spiritual, emotional, and technological shifts we’re all navigating—and why being coachable today requires more than a growth mindset. It requires courage, humility, and a return to the body, the soul, and each other.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, grieve what’s been lost, reclaim what’s sacred, and stay human in a world that’s becoming more artificial by the day.
