In this episode of The Practice of Being Human, Marta reflects on the growing role of AI companions and what their rise reveals about our longing for ease, validation, and control.

But she reminds us — friction is not a flaw in human connection. It’s the fertile ground where growth, understanding, and love take root.

Through insights inspired by Adam Grant, Marta invites you to see tension and discomfort as opportunities for expansion — for building the emotional muscles of patience, curiosity, forgiveness, and humility.

Because while AI might comfort us, only real relationships can transform us.
This conversation is an invitation to stay — to remain tender, awake, and willing to be shaped by the beautiful mess of being human.
