A new podcast exploring resilience, reinvention, creativity and the psychology of rebuilding a meaningful life.

The Mental Ledge is a podcast for people navigating change, rebuilding themselves, or searching for a more meaningful path forward.

Topics include:

  • Failure & reinvention

  • Trusting instinct

  • Starting again after setbacks

  • Ambition & fulfilment

  • Life after success

  • Resilience through uncertainty

  • Creativity, risk & identity

  • Advice for difficult periods in life
