Coming Home: The Integration Era of Human Amplified
Interview By Brandi Fleck
This is a bonus episode with Brandi Fleck on the evolution of Human Amplified, the return of its original music, and entering an integration era where the container has finally caught up to the soul of the work.
What does it mean to come home to your own work?
In this bonus episode, Brandi Fleck shares the evolution of Human Amplified from its original 2018 beginnings as On Being Human to the expanded, integrated platform it is today.
She opens up about instinct versus strategy, the quiet signals the body sends when something isn’t fully aligned, and why the original intro music — the sound that launched the project — is returning as the true sonic signature of this work.
This is a conversation about growth that doesn’t reject the past, but integrates it. About experimenting, stretching, building structure, and eventually recognizing when the container has finally caught up to the soul.
You’ll also hear what’s ahead: a curated From the Vault series featuring early interviews that were once blog-only, now released in both audio and video as a bridge into Season 7.
If you’ve ever outgrown a version of yourself and then found your way back with more wisdom and capacity, this one will resonate.
Welcome home.

The Origins of Human Amplified (On Being Human, 2018)
[ORIGINAL INTRO MUSIC — full, uninterrupted.]
Brandi:
Hi.
I’m really glad you’re here.
If you’ve been with me for a long time, that probably sounded familiar.
And if you’re newer here, welcome. You’re hearing the original sound of this project.
I wanted to take a moment to pause and tell you a story.
Not just about the music — but about Human Amplified itself.
Because this project has evolved the same way humans do.
And right now, it’s coming home.
When I first started this work in 2018, it wasn’t called Human Amplified.
It was called On Being Human.
It was just a podcast.
No master plan. No content ecosystem.
Just curiosity, conversations, and a desire to understand what it actually means to be alive — emotionally, psychologically, spiritually — without pretending we have it all figured out.
That spirit was instinctual.
Unpolished.
And honest.
And the music you just heard?
That was the sound of that phase.
Rebranding, Growth, and Strategic Expansion (2020)
A couple of years in, the project grew.
In 2020, On Being Human became Human Amplified.
I was working with a business coach.
I was learning how to think bigger, scale smarter, and build something more sustainable.
And part of that process included changing the intro music — choosing something that felt more polished, more strategic, more aligned with where the brand was headed.
At the time, it made sense.
But here’s the truth I haven’t really said out loud before —
I never loved it.
And I kept noticing that my body knew that long before my mind did.
I didn’t hate it.
But it never felt like home.
When the Body Knows Before the Mind
And sometimes that’s how growth works.
We adopt structure.
We try things on.
We listen to experts.
We stretch beyond instinct.
Not because our instincts were wrong —
but because we’re expanding our capacity to hold more.
Human Amplified was doing exactly that.
Over time, this project became more than a podcast.
It became a website.
A blog.
A YouTube channel.
A place designed to support people through deeper journeys — not just episodes.
And somewhere along the way, something got very quiet and very clear.
The original music started making sense again.
Not as nostalgia.
But as integration.
Because the container had finally caught up to the soul.
The Integration Era: The Container Catches Up to the Soul
So today, I’m naming something that already felt true.
The original Human Amplified intro music is back.
Not as a throwback.
Not as a phase.
But as the real sonic signature of this work.
You’ll hear it opening bonus episodes.
You’ll hear it in upcoming releases.
You’ll hear it as we move into Season 7.
This is the sound of Human Amplified coming home.
And this isn’t just about a show.
It mirrors something many of us experience personally.
We grow.
We experiment.
We refine.
We shed what no longer fits.
And eventually — if we’re paying attention — we find our way back to what was always true,
with more wisdom, more choice, and more capacity than we had before.
That’s not regression.
That’s evolution.
From the Vault: Bridging Into Season 7
To celebrate this return, I’m releasing a series of bonus interviews — conversations that were originally published only on the blog when Human Amplified was new and I was experimenting with different formats.
They’re powerful.
They’re timely.
And they deserve to be heard now.
These episodes will be released as From the Vault — in both audio and video — and each one will begin with some portion of the original music you heard today.
Think of them as bridge episodes.
A way of honoring where we’ve been, while stepping forward fully aligned.
If you’ve been here since the beginning — thank you.
And if you’re just finding this work now — welcome.
Either way, I’m really glad you found your way here.
I’m your host, Brandi Fleck and this is Human Amplified.
