About this listen

 In a world that’s becoming increasingly artificial, disconnected, and disembodied, staying human is a radical, sacred act. How to Stay Human is a weekly invitation to return to what’s real: your body, your breath, your heart, and your connection to the earth and each other. Hosted by award winning, transformational guide and spiritual teacher Tori Gordon and consciousness strategist and technologist Kyle Herron, this show explores the intersection of spiritual awakening, nervous system healing, divine remembrance, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Together, Tori and Kyle bring a unique blend of soul and structure, sacred and scientific, ancient wisdom and modern inquiry. This is a space for seekers, creatives, leaders, and lovers who feel the rupture, and are choosing not to numb or bypass, but to feel, integrate, and evolve. Each episode offers story-rich transmissions and illuminating conversations with mystics, futurists, healers, and thought leaders navigating the tension between rapid technological acceleration and the timeless wisdom of the soul. This isn’t self-help. This is sacred resistance. This is How to Stay Human.© 2022 The Coachable Podcast Alternative & Complementary Medicine Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success

  • Who Will You Be When the Machines Take Over? AI, Identity, and the Return to Soul

    Who Will You Be When the Machines Take Over? AI, Identity, and the Return to Soul
    Sep 17 2025

    In Episode 3 of How to Stay Human, Tori and Kyle explore one of the biggest questions of our time: Who are we when we are no longer defined by what we do?

    As AI reshapes our economy, displaces jobs, and accelerates productivity, many are facing an existential identity crisis. This episode addresses the fear, disconnection, and uncertainty many feel—and offers a radically hopeful path forward.

    Tori and Kyle dive into the psychology, spirituality, and societal shifts unfolding as automation challenges our notions of value, purpose, and productivity. They discuss the end of the "function equals worth" paradigm, and how presence, creativity, and soul connection will be the new currency of the future.

    You’ll hear personal stories, real-time reflections, and an invitation to reclaim your inner compass in a world that seems to be moving faster than your nervous system can process.

    This episode is an anchor for those asking:

    • What is my purpose if AI can do my job?
    • How do I reconnect with who I am beyond output?
    • How do I lead, create, and love in the face of massive change?
    What We Talk About:
    • Why identity loss is the deeper threat behind AI disruption
    • The false promise of upskilling and universal basic income
    • Masculinity, utility, and what it means to feel “needed”
    • Inner child work and rediscovering play as a path to purpose
    • The future of interdependence and human intimacy
    • Tuning back into your joy, essence, and aliveness
    • What the new human blueprint looks like—and how to embody it
    • Why your presence is more powerful than your productivity

  • What It Really Means to Stay Human in a Digital World

    What It Really Means to Stay Human in a Digital World
    Sep 10 2025

    In a world moving faster than ever, how do we stay grounded, real, and truly human?

    In this powerful second episode of How to Stay Human, Tori and Kyle dive deep into the heart of what it means to be human, beyond the noise, beyond the performance, and beyond the algorithm. From embodiment practices to breathwork, from nature to nervous system regulation, this conversation is a call back to presence, sovereignty, and soul.

    We explore why so many of us feel disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, and our purpose, and how to begin the journey home. You'll learn the power of micro-rituals, how to reframe stillness as sacred, and why imperfection might just be your greatest gift.

    This is a soul-first conversation for anyone who feels the pressure to perform but longs to just be. If you've ever wondered, “Why do I feel off?” or “How do I get back to myself?”—this episode is for you.

    What We Talk About:

    The spiritual and biological layers of what makes us human

    Why disconnection is often a result of digital overwhelm

    The dangers of hyper-productivity and the machine mindset

    Breath as the bridge between the seen and unseen

    Kyle’s story of healing through nature and returning to the Big Island

    Tori’s first awakening through intentional breathwork

    Creating rituals for embodiment, creativity, and presence

    Building homes within ourselves—and the relationships that walk into them

    The importance of sovereignty, boundaries, and sacred pause

    What’s coming next in the series: purpose, presence, and real-world integration
