How to Stay HumanAuthor: Blue Wire
In a world thats becoming increasingly artificial, disconnected, and disembodied, staying human is a radical, sacred act. How to Stay Human is a weekly invitation to return to whats 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 isnt self-help. This is sacred resistance. This is How to Stay Human.

Everyone says they want community.But most people don’t have it.In this episode of How to Stay Human, Tori Gordon and Kyle Herron pick up where last week left off and break down why the word community has been diluted—and what it actually takes to build something real.Community is not a follower count.It’s not a group chat.It’s not “good vibes.”Real community is embodied, relational, and reciprocal. It requires participation, structure, boundaries, and repair. If it doesn’t ask anything from you, it’s not community—it’s proximity with branding.Kyle shares a practical framework for building communities that last (paid or unpaid), including mission/vision, agreements, member selection, leadership, feedback loops, and the containers that create trust over time. Tori breaks down the biggest myths that cause people to crave community while resenting the effort it requires.Because the future doesn’t need more online audiences.It needs villages.In this episode:Why “community” has been watered down in the digital ageThe truth: community is inconvenient by designWhy aligned communities still cost energy (and why that’s normal)The myth that a community should meet all your needsWhat makes communities fragile—and how to protect themA step-by-step framework to build a real community where you liveSponsorsAnywhere ClinicVirtual psychiatric care from the comfort of your home.
