PTSD Part 2: Beyond adventure with Will Millard

Today, we’re joined by explorer, writer, and presenter
Will Millard, whose incredible adventures have
taken him to some of Earth's most remote and uncharted
territories. From living with Indigenous tribes in Papua New
Guinea to navigating the wild rivers of West Africa, Will has
always sought to push the boundaries of exploration.


But behind the thrill of discovery lies a more personal story, a
story of how the pressures and isolation of his extreme travels
culminated in a diagnosis of PTSD. In this episode, we’ll dive
into the emotional and mental toll of a life on the edge, and how
Will has navigated his journey toward healing. We’ll discuss the
unique challenges that come with extreme exploration, the impact
it had on his mental health, and the lessons he’s learned about
resilience, survival, and recovery.
