What does it mean to alchemise the shame of failure, and how can a single question change the entire course of your life?

In this powerful episode, Estelle is joined by Marc Champagne, bestselling author of Personal Socrates, host of the Behind the Human podcast, and pioneer in the field of mental fitness. Marc has dedicated his career to exploring the questions, philosophies, and practices that help us cut through mental clutter and unlock human potential.

Together they dive into the reality of the human experience, the uncertainty, the failures, and the dark nights of the soul, and how these challenges can become catalysts for resilience, clarity, and growth. Marc shares his journey from losing his business and sense of identity, to finding strength through journaling, philosophy, and the art of asking transformative questions.

This is a raw and inspiring conversation about identity, purpose, vulnerability, and the power of community, especially for men.
