The Great Connect

Four women. Four wake-up calls. One honest conversation about living “holistic-ish.”This week on The Human Array Podcast, host Carrie Allen sits down with Amanda, Erin, Kristina, and Jeannette to get real about their holistic health journeys—the scary diagnoses, the family health crises, the 2am Google spirals, and the small changes that changed everything.They share how autoimmune disease, cancer, natural birth, and Whole30 became unexpected teachers in learning to trust their bodies. You’ll also hear practical ways to start your own wellness journey (without the BS): sleeping better, reading ingredients, adding gentle movement, and embracing progress over perfection.You'll hear:How an autoimmune disease diagnosis led to intermittent fasting, yoga, and finally feeling strong againHow a family member's cancer survival through diet changed an entire family's approach to healthHow preparing for natural birth opened the door to understanding the body's capabilitiesHow Whole 30 made us realize we had no idea what was in our foodAs well as:The mind-body connection we couldn't ignoreHow to navigate Western medicine while exploring holistic alternativesWhy finding supportive healthcare providers mattersPractical advice for starting your own holistic-ish journeyReal talk: This isn't a "we have it all figured out" episode. We're living holistic-ish—not holistic perfect. Some days that's meal prepping organic everything. Some days it's surviving on coffee and spite. (Both are valid.)If you're overwhelmed about where to start, pick one thing: sleep, movement, or reading ingredient labels. That's enough. —Living Holistic-ish is our series about doing holistic health imperfectly, honestly, and without the BS.

Real talk: parenting is hard—and most of us are just trying not to mess up our kids too badly. In this conversation, Carrie sits down with life and health coach Lillian Murray, who's been there—from survival mode with a newborn to watching her own son parent in ways that made her rethink everything.Lillian gets honest about her journey from “do what the doctor says” parenting to trusting her gut—literally and figuratively. She shares what it was like to advocate for herself and her kids when holistic health resources were nearly nonexistent, and how becoming a grandparent opened her eyes to a radical truth: maybe kids actually know what they need.Together, they dive into what really matters: why deep listening beats perfect parenting advice, how play and nature are essential (not optional) for nervous system regulation, and what it looks like to trust your intuition when everyone else is telling you you’re doing it wrong. And yes, they go there—screens, overstimulation, and the myth of balance.This isn’t about being the perfect Pinterest parent—it’s about being present. About remembering that kids are humans with their own wisdom, and that you deserve a support system that keeps you grounded, not burned out. Whether you’re parenting, grandparenting, or just trying to survive family gatherings, Lillian reminds us that the most holistic thing you can do might be the simplest: listen.Spoiler: You don’t need all the answers—you just need to be willing to ask better questions.🔗 Ready to dive in?🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast platform📱 Download the Human Array app to join our community: bit.ly/JoinTheHumanArray🔔 Subscribe for future episodes🎙️The Great Connect Podcast Where meaningful conversations spark real transformation.

In this transformative episode, Carrie Allen explores an often-overlooked (but absolutely essential) pillar of wellbeing: social connection. Using her powerful water wheel metaphor, Carrie makes the case that personal growth isn’t just an individual pursuit. It’s a collective one. You can meditate, journal, and do the inner work... but without the flow of connection and community, your growth stalls. Like a water wheel without water, the momentum dries up. The result? Burnout, disconnection, and a sneaky sense that something’s missing, even when you’re “doing everything right.”This episode is a heartfelt reminder that you were never meant to grow alone.What You'll Discover:🌊 The Water Wheel PrincipleWhy individual work without community support leads to burnoutHow social connection fuels personal evolution and growthThe delicate balance between alone time and group interaction🔄 Seasonal Social NeedsHow your socializing requirements change with life phasesRecognizing when you need more connection vs. solitudeAdapting your social approach as you evolve⚡ Energy Exchange AwarenessIdentifying what fills your social cup vs. what drains itUnderstanding your unique social value exchangeMoving beyond introvert/extrovert labels🎭 The Social ExperimentWhy trying different social contexts prevents stagnationHow to choose uplifting environments and peopleBreaking out of your connection comfort zone🏠 Building Your Human ArrayThe importance of intentional community buildingCreating supportive social networks that enhance wellbeingWhy belonging isn't optional – it's essentialKey Takeaways:✅ Social wellbeing directly impacts your overall mental health and personal growth ✅ Your social needs are dynamic and change over time ✅ High-vibe social experiences can dramatically shift your perspective and energy ✅ Community support is the fuel that powers individual transformationThis is for you if you’re:Feeling socially stuck or isolatedQuestioning your current social circlesSeeking to optimize your social wellbeingLooking to build more meaningful connectionsReady to fuel your personal growth through community?
