Sarah’s partner lost his dad about two years ago. He’s still struggling with that loss. Sarah’s struggling too because she wants to help but doesn’t know how. How can she get him to go to therapy? Even when we are talking to the people we love, talking about therapy can be a tough one. Luckily, therapist Brittany “Dr. Britt” Jean-Louis knows how to start that conversation.

No matter what you’re going through -- a divorce, a bankruptcy -- there is someone who has walked your path, and we’re going to find them so they can help light your own way through. 

That’s what this podcast is all about. Every episode, we’ll meet a person going through something nobody in their real life can relate to:

On Help A Human Out, our job is to find someone who has been there, so nobody has to feel alone in their struggle. 

We’re taking difficult, confusing or isolating situations and normalizing them...one person, one problem, one podcast episode at a time. Everything that feels like uncharted territory to YOU is terrain someone else has walked before. Whatever you’re going through, we are going to talk to the people who have been there so we can help others that might currently be there. Wherever there is.
