Human Being Project

With Father/Daughter Co-Hosts, Ron Thiessen & Janelle Thiessen

As human beings, we're hardwired to strive for achievement and success, but what happens when our constant pursuit of doing overshadows our ability to feel deeply content? What happens when we don’t allow ourselves to simply be?

Hosted by father and daughter team Ron Thiessen and Janelle Thiessen, this podcast engages in thought-provoking conversations both with everyday people looking for answers and experts with unique perspectives and insights to share.

Whether you're looking to improve your mental health, cultivate more meaningful relationships, or achieve your professional goals without sacrificing your well-being, this podcast offers valuable insights and actionable advice for embracing who you are and what you’re called to do.
