In this special first episode of Humanising Business & Life, Kiani Mills is joined by Becc Hannan to introduce a new chapter of the podcast, one that goes beyond business and into the realities of life behind it.

This isn’t just about strategy, success, or growth. It’s about the human experience that sits underneath it all.

Together, Kiani and Becc open up a space for honest, unfiltered conversations around what it really looks like to build a business while navigating relationships, identity, pressure, emotions, and personal growth in real time.

This episode sets the foundation for the series, a place where nothing is off limits. Where conversations aren’t polished or perfect, but real, reflective, and deeply human.

They explore the importance of creating environments where people feel safe to be seen, heard, and understood, and why so many of us feel disconnected despite appearing successful on the outside.

From self-awareness and emotional honesty to the realities of balancing ambition with life, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what actually matters.

This series is for anyone building something a business, a life, and wanting to do it in a way that feels aligned, honest, and human.
