The Human OS

A near-death moment. Buried memories. Music as medicine. And the long journey back to the body. In this episode of The Human OS, STORRY sits down with TIHANE for a conversation about trauma, dissociative amnesia, creativity, nervous system healing, storytelling, and what it means to live from your authentic truth. TIHANE shares how memories began resurfacing after a near-death experience, why the...

Meet my FIRST EVER guest on The Human OS, Joyce Perrin: a retired hospital CEO who started solo traveling at 56, climbed Kilimanjaro at 65, cofounded a hospice in Panama, gave her first TEDx talk, visited 187 countries, and went back to school at 80 to become a better writer. Her secret? Curiosity, a twinkle in her eye, and the belief that reinvention doesn’t expire. If you need a nudge to stop sa...

What if the problem isn’t your discipline but the fact that you’re trying to use discipline to solve a capacity issue?

We call billionaires powerful. Presidents powerful. Predators powerful. People with money, status, control, platforms, silence, lawyers, and fear around them. But what if a lot of what we call power is actually extraction based on fear and scarcity?  In this episode, STORRY breaks down the difference between real power and domination, why abuse and control are often mistaken for strength, and how...

A lot of people are self-aware and can explain their trauma beautifully. And yet they are still stuck. In this episode, STORRY breaks down why understanding is not the same as transformation, how survival mode edits what you see and hear, and why you can name the wound and still keep living from it. This is about the gap between insight and change - and what it actually takes to stop rehearsing pa...

In this episode, I break down my claymation film “Up” and the real-life experience behind it - exploring how low self-worth, codependency, and consumerism can turn love into something destructive. What starts as care becomes over-giving. What starts as ambition becomes insatiable co...

During the first year of COVID my hands were so cracked and swollen I literally couldn’t open them. I tried doctors, creams, and the usual treatments for eczema, but the flare-ups kept coming back. Everything started to shift when I committed to an intense eight-week fruit cleanse and began paying closer attention to what my body was trying to tell me. In this episode, I share a raw and honest acc...

I created a fake Instagram account as a 22-year-old boy to see what the algorithm would show him. What I found was a digital echo chamber built on insecurity, dopamine, rage, status, money, women, and “the world is against you” narratives. In this episode of The Human OS, I break down: • What young men are actually being fed • How algorithms amplify fear and grievance • Why high-dopamine content i...

The biggest lie about meditation is that it's about relaxation... In this episode of 'The Human OS', I break down what Vipassana meditation actually is, why I’ve completed multiple 10-day silent meditation retreats, and how this practice helped me rewire my brain after trauma. Most people think meditation is about being calm or “zen.” It’s not. Vipassana requires discipline and direct observation...
