  • Modern Day Rules for Modern Day Humans (Surprise Episode)
    Hello, Dear Humans! We're hitting pause on our Critical Pivotal Pause and hopping back into your podcast feeds for a special surprise episode.
    New York Magazine recently published an extensive list of new rules for existing in society today and we felt it only fitting to dust off our microphones and share our thoughts on this modern-day etiquette lesson. Spoiler, there are quite a few we do not agree with! Sit back, relax, and get ready for the normal amount of laughter and silliness you've come to expect from your most human of hosts. Enjoy!

  • Celebrating Black History (Season 1 Replay!)

    Happy Black History Month, Dear Humans! 

    You'll have to excuse our delayed return for the second half of Season 2. We're having some technical issues and pivoting through them. Until we get everything back up and running, we thought we'd bring you a favorite episode of ours from Season 1. Celebrate Black history, past, present and future with this episode. We hope it inspires you to keep up the work. It's been another year, but we're still far from where we need to be. #BlackLivesMatter

    Whether we like it or not, 2022 is going to be here before we know it! Today Maya and Eliza look back on the past year, explore what lessons from 2021 they hope to take into the roaring twenties, and share some of their favorite holiday gift ideas and conversation starters.

There may be a shortage of champagne and tenders but no end to the tenderness and sparkle!

This is also the second to last episode of 2021, so make sure you give it a listen!

    It's hard to believe, but for many of us, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. That means delicious food, good company, and most likely a healthy serving of potentially awkward conversations. This holiday season, serve up a few pivots to protect your peace, help you say your piece, and also keep conversations productive instead of heated. In today's episode, Maya and Eliza navigate tough table topics from race and politics to relationships and kids and offer up conversation starters to keep the party going.

  • How to Pivot into Adulthood
    Do we ever really reach an age when we feel like "real" adults or are we all just making it up as we go along? In Episode 3 Maya and Eliza explore what it means to enter into adulthood and how to be at peace with the fact that no one's path is going to look exactly the same. Sometimes being a grown-up means being aware of the world around you and how your actions impact others, and sometimes it means holding tight to childhood wonder. Happy listening Dear Humans.

  • Pivot into Pleasure

    Hello Dear Humans! Maya and Eliza are back for another season of exploring the things that make us human, especially those that we often take for granted. 

    Season 2 of Dear Human Podcast is all about pivoting. In this episode, we try to understand our penchant for thinking of the things that bring us joy as "guilty" pleasures. We're pivoting into pleasure and making space for everyone's passions because whether you love boxed wine or fancy socks, Spongebob, or young adult fantasy faerie novels, there is plenty of pleasure to go around. We're getting back into the swing of recording so come for the human moments, stay for the laughs. Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts! Thanks for listening!
