Do we ever really reach an age when we feel like "real" adults or are we all just making it up as we go along? In Episode 3 Maya and Eliza explore what it means to enter into adulthood and how to be at peace with the fact that no one's path is going to look exactly the same. Sometimes being a grown-up means being aware of the world around you and how your actions impact others, and sometimes it means holding tight to childhood wonder. Happy listening Dear Humans.

Hello Dear Humans! Maya and Eliza are back for another season of exploring the things that make us human, especially those that we often take for granted.  Season 2 of Dear Human Podcast is all about pivoting. In this episode, we try to understand our penchant for thinking of the things that bring us joy as "guilty" pleasures. We're pivoting into pleasure and making space for everyone's passions because whether you love boxed wine or fancy socks, Spongebob, or young adult fantasy faerie novels, there is plenty of pleasure to go around. We're getting back into the swing of recording so come for the human moments, stay for the laughs. Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!
