Inconveniently Human

Sienna Jade

Because being human was never going to be convenient. Inconveniently Human is a podcast about the friction between who we are, who we’re supposed to be, and who we’re becoming. Through the lens of psychology, identity, and lived experience, host Sienna—psychology & criminology student, chronic overthinker, and recovering perfectionist—dives into the messy stuff: burnout, self-worth, neurodivergence, femininity, and the psychology of everyday behaviour. It’s not self-help. It’s not therapy. It’s just what happens when you feel a little too much and still try to make sense of it all.
