Human Amplified

Human Amplified

Stories...the stories we tell ourselves shape who we've been, who we are, and what we become. What you choose to do next either reinforces or changes your story. You have the power to choose where we go from here, as humans. So, welcome to the evolving story of what it means to be human through one beautiful and messy person at a time. On the show, I interview people who are expert healers (traditional and non-traditional), trauma survivors and self healers, mystics (like channelers, mediums, psychics, spiritual teachers and leaders, light workers, and more), disruptors, scientists, creatives, and everyday people like you and me. I ask questions around our existence, our place in the world, ways to make it better, and what it all means. From big-picture ideas to practical life advice, we explore it all. But the most important part is getting to the heart of who we are and moving forward in alignment with that. Ultimately, this show is about understanding consciousness and what we want to do with it. This is a place to tell your story, find hope in the stories of others, and be inspired to change your story, and therefore, the story of humanity. I'm your host, Brandi Fleck. And this is Human Amplified. So subscribe to the top-rated show, leave a rating and review, and I’ll see you there. Learn more at https://humanamplified.com/
