How to Stay Human

Why Everything Feels Off Right Now


Listen Later

In this episode of How to Stay Human, Tori Gordon and Kyle Herron explore why so many people feel overwhelmed, anxious, and unsettled in today’s world—and what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

From constant information overload to global uncertainty, we’re living in a time where the pace of change is faster than our nervous systems can process. The result is chronic stress, emotional fatigue, and a deep sense that something isn’t quite right.

This conversation breaks down the real issue: not just what’s happening in the world, but how your body is responding to it.

Tori shares how nervous system dysregulation shows up in high performers, why awareness alone isn’t enough to create change, and what it actually takes to feel safe, grounded, and in control again.

Kyle offers a perspective on how to stay informed without becoming overwhelmed, and how to engage with the world in a way that creates impact instead of burnout.

If you’ve been feeling off, stuck, or constantly on edge, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do about it.

What we cover:
  • Why everything feels more intense right now
  • The link between anxiety, overwhelm, and the nervous system
  • How constant information consumption impacts your body
  • The difference between awareness and dysregulation
  • Why high performers still feel stuck or exhausted
  • How to build internal safety and resilience
  • What it means to stay human in a rapidly changing world
