PTSD Part 2: Beyond adventure with Will Millard

53 minutes

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.
