The Podcast
Real conversations about the complicated business of being human.
Work. Relationships. Decisions. Leadership. Change. The things people do that make absolutely no sense.
People Untangled is where we pull at the threads, ask better questions, and talk honestly about the situations we’re all trying to figure out.
WHAT WE TALK ABOUT
If people are involved,
there’s probably something
to untangle.
Some episodes start with work. Others start with relationships, decisions, leadership, family, change, or one of those situations that makes you think, What the hell is going on here?
The point isn’t to hand you a perfect answer. It’s to look at what’s really happening, ask the questions we don’t always ask, and see what starts to make sense.

Episode 1: Why You Keep Over-Explaining Yourself—and How to Stop
September 20, 2026 · 14 min
You gave the answer. So why are you still talking? Over-explaining isn’t always about clarity. Sometimes it’s an attempt to manage someone else’s reaction, comfort, approval—and even the silence after you stop talking. In this episode, Sandy pulls the thread between over-explaining and over-functioning and asks what might happen if we finally let a clear answer stand.
Episode 0: Welcome to People Untangled
September 9, 2026 · 11 min
What is People Untangled—and why does it exist? In this introductory episode, Sandy Kaminski shares where the show came from, how decades in HR and leadership shaped the questions she asks, and why the hardest human situations rarely come with tidy answers.
WHY LISTEN
You might not leave with the answer.
But you’ll probably leave thinking differently.
People Untangled isn’t about telling you what to think.
It’s about looking at the messy situations we all find ourselves in, pulling at the threads, and seeing what we might have missed.
Sometimes that means a different perspective.
Sometimes a better question.
Sometimes just realizing you’re not the only one trying to figure this shit out.
