    good pod
    Love this podcast just started listening, I’m in episode 58. Anna is great and has a good connection with all her guests. Love the topics! I understand why nina left but I do miss her!!
  • kmslmnop95
    The deepest delight, you’ll fall in love the host though so listen at your own risk! X
    One of the most connective podcasts. It’s light and funny - oh my God is the host funny - and also finds a thousand ways to introduce breakthrough ideas. Anna, the host, does an extraordinary job of bringing her listener to new places that are deep and meaningful, then knowing exactly when to come up for air and make everyone laugh. Addictive. Must-listen. X

    Best podcast ever
    Love these ladies!!! 🎉
  • ATonetta
    Love Love LOVE!
    A truly delightful podcast that speaks to my soul on every topic of humanness. The chemistry between these two is so organic and easy, I can’t wait for each new episode. I’m here for all the laughs and words of wisdom. If you need me, I’ll be bingeing How to Be Human pod.
  • newmanem
    Empathetic, insightful, and much needed
    As a listener of How to Be Human, this review was a long time coming. This podcast is one that will make you feel seen. You’ll leave listening with the knowledge that you’re not alone in this crazy life we’ve all been thrown into. I love that Nina and Anna dive deep into topics with distinction and perspectives that challenge what “being human” means to society, past and present. Not only are these women relatable and empathetic, they’re also approachable and authentic. Love this podcast!!
  • chinen wing
    Authentic
    Gentle and grounded, insightful and honest. I love this podcast and the additional integration of spirituality, meditation and movement that the membership offers.
  • amynorad
    Boundaries and gratitude
    Very thankful for the dialogue around boundaries and the feelings that surface while navigating the creation and offering of them. And down with the myth of the chill girl (or was it cool/easy going whatever)! Boundary talk is increasingly ubiquitous for good reason, and I found the podcast’s take full of useful takes on how to connect with yourself and others more sincerely /authentically. Thanks!
  • James Endrst
    We should all talk with one another like this
    Honest. Real. Highly entertaining and, most of all, truly helpful. The no-holds-barred back-and-forth between Nina and Anna allows the rest of us to open up our hearts and minds and look both inside ourselves and outside to the way we view others and just plain get through the often tough stuff of being human. Highly recommend.
  • muladhara2018
    LOVE LOVE LOVE
    Nina and Anna are fantastic guides and podcast hosts! I love how honest and thoughtful they are - they do a great job of building off of each other and sharing advice based on their experiences. I look forward to each new episode, knowing it will expand how I think and often make me laugh.
  • KelsBastin
    Listen. Natural Banter and truly inspiring.
    If you aren’t listening to this you are truly missing out. The natural banter between hosts is infectious. I grew up with one of them, and has been a best friend of mine for years. It’s insane to see her grow as a human and change so many lives including mine. Listen. You won’t be sorry.
  • lizelsy
    LOVE
    Love this podcast!
  • k.m.d.12
    Heartfelt, honest, and so much fun
    HTBH is such a gift! Nina and Anna’s conversations strike that rare combination of deeply felt, self-aware, and incredibly enjoyable. When a podcast can make me laugh in recognition and reflect on the complicated nature of being human, it’s a big win. Often times moving, often times hilarious, these two have something really special. The friendship episode is SO illuminating... I want more. If you’re a human with feelings and a desire to get to know yourself better, this podcast is for you.
  • Ffldmetrocommuter
    I LOVE THIS POD
    Self inquiry podcasts can often give good info via not so likeable hosts and this podcast is a respite from that. It is highly informative yet also chill and gentle, and honestly every time I listen I am in a way better mood. Listen to this podcast. It’s like eavesdropping on the coolest people in the coffeeshop
  • IllustriousPop
    Feeding My Soul
    This podcast is exactly the nourishment my soul needed. Nina
  • Holnizzle
    The best thing you didn’t know you needed
    Honestly, these 2 have the best relationship, the best dialogue and honesty that will blow you away. If you need a laugh, insight into being a human and existing here on earth, listen to this podcast! They are both gems and will change your life for the better (if you’re willing to do the work!).
  • @5ocheata
    thoughtful, nourishing listen
    Absolutely love the topics, honesty & insightful conversation. I appreciate how open Anna and Nina are. Thanks for sharing your magic with us!
  • JacquieR
    The most amazing Humans in the world
    I cannot say enough about these two amazing humans who have changed my life for the better! The fact that they are sharing their knowledge and love with even more People is a gift to the world! Not only listen to these amazing angels on earth share their podcast run and join Soul Unity - no better way to ground yourself with the most unique inspiring soul community!
  • GillianKF
    Amazing humans helping us be human!
    I am counting down the days to the official launch of this podcast! All the things we want to know but are too afraid to ask or explore. I love the idea of us all being human in our search for our best lives and I can’t wait to tune in and learn more about myself and each other, each month. We’re all just trying to do our best to figure it all out and now we’ll have an amazingly relatable resource to help us along the journey (with two amazing women at the helm). Class is in session!!
  • BijouLeBear
    Funny and poignant!
    Insightful, humorous and very touching. I love how Anna describes her connection to humans. She’s a dog and her brother and mother are cats. Her take on gossip and emphasis on thoughtfulness is helpful.
  • ChelsBels24
    Obsessed already
    I have the privilege of knowing Anna personally and it is a GIFT that she & Nina started this podcast. I love their perspective — it’s spiritual but still grounded in reality. How to be Human is perfect for people who love tarot but hate Goop. 10/10 so far!!!
  • bbkaplan
    So excited !
    First time, long time ! ( I’ve always wanted to say that..) I could listen to these 2 amazing magical humans all day long and now I get to in podcast form. Their chats are super insightful, organic, authentic, thoughtful, all the things and they will make you laugh from time to time bc that’s important too!
  • renipapa
    Yes!
    So excited for this!
  • dwarf cow
    Can’t wait
    Big fan looking forward to more!
  • LM1015
    So excited this is now an official podcast
    I started listening to How to be Human through The Soul Unity, and it was one of my favorite parts of that subscription. Nina and Anna offer up a dialogue around topics that are simply, so human, but that we never really discuss in our every day lives. Everything from how to say No without feeling guilty .. to .. what does a healthy, reciprocal friendship look like? It’s informative and funny, impactful, relatable and I can’t recommend it enough.
  • Mtchmasters
    Awesome!!
    I’m so excited for this! Love these two!
