None of us were put on this planet to be a watered down version of ourselves. In a world where it can seem that people are anti-human and wanting to become cyborg transhumans, this podcast is here to let you know that it’s perfectly ok to be a cool, fun-loving, caring and kind HUMAN! My desire, through the art of storytelling and story listening, is to share a captivating narrative that traverses everything it means to be human. Not just any human…Ridiculously Human!Ridiculously Human 2023 Ciencia Ciencias Sociales

    RHP#176. Liz McConaghy, RAF Chinook Crew Chick and Motivational Speaker
    Jul 17 2025

    Liz McConaghy, is a special lady that has lived a unique life very unfamiliar to most.

    She joined the Royal Air Force on her 19th birthday and ended up as the longest serving female crewman on the RAF Chinook Fleet.

    At 21, she was the youngest aircrew to deploy to Iraq and was the only female crewman on the Chinook wing for 4 years.

    The toll of 2 deployments to Iraq and 10 deployments to Afghanistan, a messy divorce, and the isolation of Covid, came to a head in 2020 with Liz attempting to end her life.

    Liz has such a high relatability and likability factor because of her authenticity. Fascinating podcast to listen to!

    • Joining RAF at 19 year old
    • Going to the Iraq War at 21 years old

    RHP#175. Derek Notman, Founder of REBL Dad’s Group
    Jul 3 2025
    Derek Notman is helping fix our relationship with money, using AI (and flip-flops!) He is also a Dad on a mission to help 1,000,000 other father’s. Together with a little help sprinkled in from his right hand man, Sir Richard Branson! Through his REBL Dad Group, he is helping Dad’s try to find the balance and integration of entrepreneurship and fatherhood. His parent’s nasty divorce, and estrangement from his father and siblings, have aspired him to be the best father he can possibly be. The responsibility of being a great father is not lost on him and he’s determined to break the cycle of past family behaviour. Derek is a legend of a man. It’s always an honour for me to speak to people putting their necks on the line to make the world a better place!

    RHP#174. Hannah Ward, English Learning Designer and Homeschool Mom
    Jun 19 2025
    Hannah Ward, is a special lady trying to tackle the American literacy crisis, with only 60% of American’s being able to read. She is a homeschooling mother and an English teacher who has taught students from preschool to university. She says that parents who read, should teach kids phonics and read out aloud together. As a child, she loved adapting books like Charlotte’s Web into accessible plays with American Sign Language, which sparked the bookworm in her and love for storytelling. Hannah shares free lessons online to empower literacy worldwide, believing it’s a game-changer for health, poverty, and human growth.
