About this listen

Welcome to WHY DO I FEEL? a podcast that takes us on an emotional journey into people’s lives. We share stories to help make sense of our experiences and to know that we are not alone.


In each episode award-winning author and mental health expert, Nathan Filer invites us to consider a challenging emotion by listening to real-life stories and hearing from world-leading experts and therapists. We live in strange times, which have inspired many of us to examine our lives more closely. WHY DO I FEEL? embraces that curiosity and self-reflection. Sometimes, this will touch upon deep sorrow, but there will also be joy, playfulness and hope.
