Really Human

Really Human is a podcast about what it means to live with depth, honesty, and heart in a world that keeps pushing us to be more optimized, more polished, and less…human.

Hosted by entrepreneur and mother Lindsay Roselle, each episode explores the parts most people edit out - the messy moments, the quiet questions, and the stories that break us open and put us back together again.

Expect unfiltered conversations, personal reflections, and thought-provoking guests who remind you that you’re not alone - and that learning to discern what’s real and true might be the most important skill we have.

Because maybe the point was never to be so optimized…

maybe it was just to be...really human.
