001. Here, Now, Human — My Origin Story

Welcome to the very first episode of Here, Now, Human.

I’m your host, Manuela Welton, and in this debut episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal — my own origin story.

I was born in Colombia, in a family of artists and dreamers, and from an early age, my world was painted with creativity, courage, and love. But that world shifted quickly — political unrest, displacement, and profound loss shaped much of my early life.

In this episode, I share how those experiences — both beautiful and painful — became the foundation of my work today. This story is the beginning of why Here, Now, Human exists: to remind us of our shared humanity, the resilience of the heart, and the healing power of storytelling.

✨ Growing up surrounded by art, activism, and creativity

✨ Fleeing Colombia and learning to find belonging in new places

✨ Experiencing loss and grief — and the awakening of intuition

✨ Rediscovering purpose and the strength to live fully again

This episode is a conversation with my younger self — and an invitation for you to meet me, here, now, as human as I am.
