sitting with strangers

Sitting With Strangers is a Human Room podcast hosted by Lauren Barrett.Each episode explores what happens when thoughtful people slow down enough to speak honestly about the lives they’re living. Through reflective solo episodes and conversations with people from different walks of life, Lauren creates space for deeper questions about identity, relationships, meaning, and what it means to fully inhabit one life.Lauren is the creator of Human Room, a series of intentional gatherings designed to help thoughtful people speak truthfully, listen without judgment, and experience meaningful human connection without obligation.In a culture that often pushes constant self-improvement and surface interaction, Sitting With Strangers offers something different: a place where curiosity is welcomed, honesty is practiced, and the truth people carry begins to feel a little lighter.
