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 Pacify The Corrosive Narrative of 'I Am Not Enough' with Dr Lauren Tober
Dr Lauren Tober is a psychologist, a Senior Yoga Teacher and the creator of the Mental Health Aware Yoga Teacher Training. What I love about Lauren’s work is how she integrates evidence based data with that that is beyond the measure of science – the subtlties of the deeper self that yoga interacts with – in a clinical setting. She finds a way to expand beyond the confines of modern psychology through the breadth of yogic knowledge, utilising a vast palette of tools to access the needs of the individual human mind.
In this conversation we chat about what patterns are from a psychology perspective and how that compares with how yoga looks at patterns aka samskaras, we get into the nitty gritty of one of the peskiest narratives known to humankind – the good old inner dialogue of ‘I’m not good enough’ and you'll hear a secret confession of my own about what I thought of my fans back in the triple j days.
