Human, But Barely is a podcast for the moments when you’re one existential spiral away from turning into a houseplant — a show about emotional honesty, identity, and spiraling with style.
Hosted by a woman overthinking her way through modern life, it’s part cultural side-eye, part soft spiral, part please tell me it’s not just me.
Expect chaotic thoughts with no table of contents, emotionally unhinged reflections, and the kind of mess that’s better shared than solved — because being a human is weird, messy, and kind of hilarious.
And on the days when even your therapist’s out of office, your identity crisis deserves a listening ear.
🪴 New episodes drop every Friday. Subscribe to stay soft and spiraling.

Off the Rails
Send us Fan Mail Things got a little unhinged, pretty unedited, and, yeah… off the rails. This week: I blanked on the word “morose,” pretended I knew 한글, talked missed phone calls, dabbled in ASMR, and laughed a lot — mostly at myself (which still counts, right?). It was messy. It was real. And I own it. How about you? Hit play for Episode 2 of Human, But Barely. 🖤 Tell me about your own “off the rails” moment on Instagram → @humanbutbarely 🎵 Intro & outro music: “Status” by Jamie Bathgat...

This Episode is a Mess ( & So Am I)
Send us Fan Mail A soft spiral of confusion, connection, and emotional honesty — this episode is a little tangled, a little vulnerable, and maybe just what you needed to hear today. In this debut episode, I spiral gently through a confusion of thoughts — nothing neatly packaged, nothing tied up. Just some muddled feelings about being alone, the emotional weirdness of train seating, and the deep desire to find internet friends you’ve never met… but dream of crying with in a Target parking lot....
