What happens when you outgrow the version of yourself you once needed but aren’t yet who you’re becoming?

That’s where many of us are right now, individually, collectively, and even in how we relate to the world around us.

Human Amplified has always been about bringing more humanity to daily life, creating more connection, awareness, and inner healing. And like the people listening, the show has evolved too.

Following the natural arc of who we are, where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what it all means, it’s time to focus on waking up, not all at once and not into something abstract, but into your truth, your power, and the deeper currents shaping your life.

We explore identity, healing, consciousness, and what it means to live as both human and spiritual beings through conversations with storytellers, healers, mystics, scientists, creatives, disruptors, and everyday people navigating this edge in real time.

There’s no hype here.

No fixing.

No one telling you what to believe.

Just honest conversations that create space for your own insight, recognition, and inner shifts to begin.

If you’re listening because something in you is stirring, you’re in the right place.

Here, we explore what it really means to wake up—to your truth, your power, and the deeper currents shaping your life.

Through raw stories, breakthrough wisdom, and consciousness-expanding conversations, we create space for healing, insight, and real inner shifts to begin.

If you want to recognize yourself, feel seen and heard, and become more of who you are, welcome.

I’m your host, Brandi Fleck, and this is Human Amplified.

What does it mean to come home to your own work?

In this bonus episode, Brandi Fleck shares the evolution of Human Amplified from its original 2018 beginnings as On Being Human to the expanded, integrated platform it is today.

She opens up about instinct versus strategy, the quiet signals the body sends when something isn’t fully aligned, and why the original intro music — the sound that launched the project — is returning as the true sonic signature of this work.

This is a conversation about growth that doesn’t reject the past, but integrates it. About experimenting, stretching, building structure, and eventually recognizing when the container has finally caught up to the soul.

You’ll also hear what’s ahead: a curated From the Vault series featuring early interviews that were once blog-only, now released in both audio and video as a bridge into Season 7.

If you’ve ever outgrown a version of yourself and then found your way back with more wisdom and capacity, this one will resonate.

Welcome home.

What if your greatest traumas were the doorway to your deepest healing?

Dr. Richard Grossman — author of Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life, acupuncturist, and plant medicine practitioner with over 40 years of experience, offers profound insight into what it means to be human and how we can release pain across generations.

We explore how trauma fragments us — and how healing requires presence, integration, and courage. Dr. Grossman shares raw, transformative stories, including one harrowing ayahuasca vision that placed him in a Nazi death camp line — and how “trust and forgive” became his mantra of release.

We also discuss the sacred responsibility of using plant medicine, red flags in ceremony leaders, and why purification and discernment matter more than ever in today’s spiritual landscape.

What would you do if the unthinkable happened—and you had to keep living?

In this hope-filled conversation, Shirl Baker opens up about losing her daughter, DeEbony Groves, in the 2018 Waffle House shooting in Antioch, Tennessee. She shares the raw truth of that day, how the grief carved a permanent wound in her soul—and how faith, scripture, and service gave her the strength to survive.

Shirl didn’t find healing through traditional grief counseling. Instead, she founded the DeEbony Groves Foundation to help other grieving mothers reclaim joy through healing retreats, pampering weekends, and red carpet moments to honor their lost children.

This is a story about love over bitterness, about community over isolation, and about what it truly means to keep hope alive.
