Ep 14 | Becoming | What Did This Season Teach Me About Being Human?

Written By Courtney Koester

Ah, we're here — the final episode of season one of Living the Questions! It's wild to think this podcast began as a simple idea and a brave invitation to self — no clear roadmap, just a willingness to take it one step, one episode at a time and let it become what it wanted to be. And now, looking back on this full season, I’m deeply proud of what we’ve co-created here.

In this episode, I reflect not just on the themes, questions, and lessons we explored, but on how much this space invited me to live into the making of it — just as we’ve been invited to live into the questions themselves. The process of creating this podcast mirrored its own message: we found the shape by showing up, one honest step at a time.

This is a tender, spacious look back at what it means to become through vulnerability, wise discernment + protection, and the quiet unfolding of self-trust. I share what surprised me, the clarity I’ve lived into, what I’m integrating, embodying + still walking with, and the questions that revealed themselves along the way.

This collection of episodes has been a practice in returning to Self + remembering our humanness and I’m so grateful to have shared this journey with you! Here’s to everything this inaugural season has been + to the seeds it’s planted for what comes next!
