Funny Little Human: Lightening Up & Loving More with Fiona Lukeis
with Fiona Lukeis
About This Episode
What if the thing that’s been getting in the way is actually just a funny little part of being human… not a flaw to fix?
In this episode, I’m joined by Fiona Lukeis—relationship specialist, founder of Relatable, and author of the newly released Funny Little Human. We talk about how seeing our humanness with lightness and love can shift everything—from how we relate to others, to how we move through conflict, to how we soften toward ourselves.
This conversation is full of honesty, insight, and real-life examples that bring Fiona’s work to life. Whether you’re navigating a relationship, leading a team, or simply feeling the weight of trying to get it all right, this episode offers a fresh, freeing perspective.
