The Lonely Chapter

A podcast for people who are doing okay on the surface, but quietly unsure how to live well.

Through calm, long-form conversations, host Sam Maclean explores the lessons people learn through life, work, struggle, change, and growth. These are reflective discussions about meaning, identity, resilience, and what it looks like to live well when life doesn’t follow a straight line.

Episodes include thoughtful interviews and occasional solo reflections, created to help you feel a little more oriented in your own life.


The Lonely Chapter

This week's episode is a return from Dr Susie Bennett, discussing the very important topics of male mental health, suicide rates, loneliness, and more.

I am really pleased with how this one turned out, I hope you enjoy! x
