While recording the audiobook for The Long Way I Came, Andrea notices something unexpected: the words haven't changed, but she has. That observation leads to a reflection on memory boxes, old photographs, forgotten files, and the quiet evidence we leave behind as we grow. A field note on perspective, change, and what happens when we encounter earlier versions of ourselves.

Welcome to How Very Human, a podcast exploring the psychology, patterns, and everyday observations that shape the human experience.

I'm your host, Andrea Haney Poole—organizational strategist, author, speaker, and lifelong observer of people. Together, we'll explore leadership, relationships, work, resilience, change, and the quiet moments that reveal something bigger about what it means to be human.

Some episodes will feature conversations with thoughtful guests. Others will be field notes—simple observations that invite us to see ourselves and one another a little differently.

If you've ever found yourself asking, Why do we do that? You're in the right place.

Welcome to How Very Human.
