In this short trailer episode, Lindsay Roselle introduces Really Human, a podcast about what it means to live with depth, honesty, and heart in an increasingly filtered, fast-paced, AI-driven world.

She shares the personal journey that inspired the show, from launching her first podcast MotherLoad to her time as COO at BossBabe, and how a life-changing moment - her partner’s massive stroke - shifted everything.

You’ll hear:

• The themes and questions Really Human will explore. The quiet truths. The big questions. The stories we don’t usually share.
• What kind of episodes to expect (solo reflections + unfiltered conversations)
• Why this show is a call back to presence, connection, and discernment in the digital age
• What makes storytelling sacred - and very human
  
  
  

If you’re craving something honest, a little unpolished, and deeply real (that you’ll also learn and grow from every week), you’ll feel at home here. 

New episodes drop twice a week. Subscribe to be part of the conversation.
