The Courage to Become Who You Really Are...

BLUE WIRE
About this episode

What if the hero you’ve been waiting for… is you?

In this potent and timely episode of How to Stay Human, Tori and Kyle explore the real meaning of heroism—not as a fantasy, but as a fully embodied expression of who you are, what you value, and how you choose to show up in a chaotic, rapidly changing world.

This is a soul-first, truth-telling conversation about inner conflict, spiritual leadership, aligned action, and what it looks like to become the kind of human the future needs.

We’re not just facing external crises. We’re reckoning with the dissonance between who we are and who we pretend to be. And that’s exactly where the call to courage begins.

What We Cover

The real reason people feel unfulfilled—even when they “have it all”

Why the greatest battle is the one happening inside of you

How superheroes are forged in times of global crisis

The power of being before performing

What it looks like to live your values when no one is watching

Why aligned action is the missing piece of most spiritual teachings

How purpose, integrity, and presence turn you into someone worth following

The difference between serving yourself and being of service

What to do when your fire has gone out—and how to reignite it

Why the future belongs to the ones who choose to show up, fully

This Episode Is For You If:

You’re feeling disconnected from your purpose or potential

You crave more courage, clarity, and conviction

You’ve been hiding your gifts or suppressing your truth

You want to live with more integrity, presence, and impact

You’re done with playing small and ready to rise
