Mel Bampton Presents...How Human
This podcast is all about exploring what it means to be human. What traits, qualities and experiences we share, no matter how different we are and in searching for and celebrating our differences, finding our similarities.
Do you ever find yourself plagued with uncertainty? Paralysed by self-doubt? Are you ever confused about what to do, how to behave, what to say or even what to feel? Being human is weird. It comes with no instruction manual, it’s riddled with contradictions and as we age we seem to get less and more wise, just when we think we’ve figured something out, everything changes, again.
This podcast is that missing handbook - in which we go deeper than just the details of the stories and by looking through different lenses, we find the things that truly make us…human.
My name is Mel Bampton, I’m a presenter, a speaker, an author and a therapist and in this series I’m bringing all those things together to help you agonise a little less by understanding a little more the things that are fundamentals, not flaws, of what it means to be one of this bizarre and curious species.
This is the podcast where you learn to become a little kinder to yourself by first and foremost understanding what you fundamentally are.

How To Prepare For Inescapable Grief with Mark Bayley
This episode is very different. Not looking so much at the patterns that we're stuck in but instead how big events can change us at our deepest levels.
This is a story of one man being taken to his depths through intense loss, of a man who is still very much learning how to swim in the waters of a grief that most days he cannot see the edges of. Yet somehow, with the potential of the human mind, and the enormity of the human spirit, he is doing it. Through the love of his daughter Poppy, the voice of his partner Sara, the vivaciousness of Lil and the fortitude of his own heart, he is doing it.
Through the immense grace of Mark Bayley, this episode takes us into the often hidden world of big grief - losing a loved one type grief or loved ones as is the case for Mark - and in doing so highlights the importance of such conversations, of facing the reality that in being human, grief is inescapable.
How can we learn to grieve better?
How can we prepare ourselves for inescapable grief?
How can we be more deeply present for others in times of vast despair?
And if you haven't yet met Mark's phenomenal partner Sara Tindley through her episode in season 1, perhaps take a listen to that first here.
