What if growing older didn’t have to mean fading out? In this candid (and slightly cheeky) episode, host Sam Watkins receives his very first NAD+ IV drip—on camera—while sitting down with aesthetic and anti-aging specialist Dr. Brandon Ramsey of Heal + Glow Wellness in San Diego.

Together, they unpack the truth behind modern aesthetic medicine, including:

• What NAD+ actually does and why it’s become a Hollywood favorite
• How treatments like Botox, fillers, Sculptra®, microneedling, and skin peels really work
• How much you should budget for anti-aging treatments
• The emotional side of aesthetics and why self-care is self-love
• Why this isn’t about “fixing flaws”—it’s about investing in yourself

You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you might just rethink what it means to age well.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• How to approach anti-aging with intention (and not shame)
• The difference between injectable treatments (and how to use them together)
• The holistic connection between internal wellness and outward beauty
• The role of preventative care in aging gracefully
• How Dr. Ramsey works with patients to create long-term treatment plans that support confidence—not just appearance

"If it hurt, it counts."

You don’t need a dramatic backstory to validate your pain. In this episode of Humn.ing, host Sam Watkins sits down with licensed clinical social worker Ashley Steineckert to unpack the truth about trauma—and why therapy isn’t just for people in crisis.

Together, they explore:

• Why trauma isn’t a competition
• The impact of collective trauma (COVID, 9/11, politics)
• What therapy actually is (and what it’s not)
• Why pushing down your feelings can make things worse
• How to reclaim your personal power and stop minimizing your story

Whether you’ve been considering therapy, avoiding your emotions, or just feeling stuck—this conversation is the gentle permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

Humn.ing is a podcast about the imperfect art of being human—where we learn, grow, and heal through raw conversations with real people and wellness professionals.

In this premiere episode of Humn.ing, host Sam opens up about his own struggles with apathy, procrastination, and isolation — and wonders if he’s just burned out… or quietly dealing with depression. To unpack that question, he’s joined by Dr. Sandi Ramsey, a double board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in treatment-resistant depression.

Together, they explore the difference between sadness and clinical depression, how to recognize subtle symptoms, and why so many people are suffering in silence — especially in today’s overstimulated, disconnected world.

If you’ve been stuck in a funk and not sure what to call it — this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.

You’ll Learn:

• The difference between sadness and clinical depression
• What “treatment-resistant depression” actually means
• The 2-week rule every person should know
• Why numbness is more common than we admit
• How to support yourself (or someone else) through emotional heaviness
• What social media is doing to our mental health
• Small daily shifts that can lead to big changes

What if the life you’re living… isn’t really living at all?

In this raw and revealing kickoff episode of Humn.ing, host Sam wakes up on his 49th birthday with a brutal realization: “This is a dumb way to live.” From that moment of clarity comes this honest, vulnerable, and sometimes hilarious journey of rediscovering self-worth through self-care — one conversation at a time.

Sam shares his own messy life inventory, unfiltered thoughts on modern wellness, and why this podcast is not another polished self-help show. Instead, it’s a human experiment — featuring therapists, coaches, healers, and practitioners who help answer the real questions we all carry:

• Why don’t I believe I’m worth it?
• How do I heal what I can’t even name?
• What does real self-love even look like?

Whether you're a seeker, a skeptic, or just someone trying to feel better in a world that feels overwhelming — this is your invitation to join the conversation.

Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

Growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

And being human… takes practice.
