How does where we come from impact our mental wellbeing? And why did Layla Maghribi decide to create a podcast about it?

We're turning the tables in this insightful episode, as Ned Sedgwick sits down with Layla Maghribi, the creator and host of the acclaimed podcast Third Culture Therapy.

Layla Maghribi is a writer, journalist and podcaster. Born in the UK to Libyan/Palestinian and Syrian parents, Layla spent her childhood summers in Damascus and later lived and reported from there at the start of the uprising-turned-civil war. After several years working for international media outlets, including Reuters and CNNI, across the Arab world Layla returned to the UK and over the past few years she has been working on various independent projects, like creating this podcast and writing a book.

Tune in to hear Layla share her journey as a third-culture individual navigating the intersection of cultural identities, and how her experiences inspired her to create a platform for others like her. We delve into her motivations, the stories that have resonated the most with her, and the profound lessons she's gained from recent episodes.

Whether you’re a third-culture kid yourself, or simply curious about the nuances of global identities, this conversation will leave you inspired and reflective.
