What’s truly possible if we remove the barriers of fear and self-doubt? If our character shapes our destiny, how do we hone our individuality into something aware, independent, and effective? What can we do to optimise our physical and mental performance? What role does faith play in designing a truly successful life? Most importantly, how do we get past the narratives society is hell bent on feeding us and seek out paths that lead straight to our desired destination, be it success, happiness, thriving relationships, or simply a balanced life
Experible podcast with its guest interviews and solo episodes answers all these questions and more. Join Krati Mehra for radically transparent, unapologetically vulnerable, no BS conversations that will challenge you to consider new perspectives, adopt new attitudes, explore unfamiliar ideas and avenues so you can finally, live a life that is not defined by old fears or dysfunctional narratives.
In the interview episodes, we dive deep into the stories and struggles of experts (entrepreneurs, scientists, authors, creators, and coaches) with strong convictions who, through their experiences, show us to what is truly possible and how we can turn our ambitions into reality. We also talk to subject experts with knowledge that can enhance our lives in unexpected ways.
In the solo episodes, Krati discusses concepts, tools, and practices relevant to developing a strong character, a healthy mindset, and the emotional weaponry that allows you to live by design and even on bad days, love what you see in the mirror.
New episodes of the Experible Podcast drop every Monday and Thursday.

Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas: Men’s Mental Health, Modern Challenges, & Suicide Prevention
A special episode for Mental Health Awareness Month with guest expert, Dr. Sally Spencer Thomas, a clinical psychologist, inspirational speaker, podcaster, and impact entrepreneur. Known as an innovator in social change, she has helped start multiple large-scale, gap-filling efforts in mental health, including “Construction Working Minds” and the award-winning Man Therapy campaign. She currently serves as the president of United Suicide Survivors International.
In this episode, we discuss the complexities of navigating mental health amidst a culture that often rewards victimhood, tangible solutions for those feeling lost in the currents of modern life's uncertainties, the unique challenges faced by men who suddenly find themselves lost in a rapidly changing world that offers little clarity about their roles and identities, and warning signs of suicide and steps for prevention. It's a must-listen for those of us struggling with mental health issues, trying to understand the pain of our loved ones, and for men who are frustrated by the confusing social expectation. It is also a call to redefine strength and identity in an age where both seem fraught with contradiction.
