The economy is a bit like a cake. Everyone keeps saying we need to grow it bigger. Everyone wants a bigger slice. But what if the oven is only so big? Katherine Trebeck is a political economist and advocate for the wellbeing economy, and this is one of the most mind-expanding honest mental health conversations Mind Cake has had. Not about therapy or coping with anxiety, but about the system underneath it all and why so many people feel ground down, burnt out and left behind. If you've ever felt the world isn't working the way it should, this conversation might explain why. Mind Cake is a comedy wellbeing podcast exploring honest mental health conversations and the stuff that actually helps, without the therapy speak.

Tom Radford left a career in corporate communications, got a campervan, and started eating things he found in hedgerows. Now he takes people on walks through the British countryside and teaches them what's food, what's medicine and what might kill you. It turns out foraging isn't really about food at all, it's one of the most honest mental health conversations we've had on Mind Cake, and nobody mentions therapy once. Tom is the founder of Eat The Country and one of the most quietly compelling arguments for getting outside, slowing down and looking down occasionally. If you're looking for a self-help alternative that doesn't feel like self-help, this is it.

What happens when a city famous for booing its own players decides to cheer instead? Jon McCann is a Philadelphia Phillies superfan, YouTuber and the man behind one of sport's most remarkable stories ... a social media post that turned a struggling baseball player's season around and became a Netflix documentary. But behind the viral moment is a deeper story: a breakdown, a mental institution, and the unconditional love of two parents who refused to give up on him. Jon talks to Lee about empathy, survival, therapy, and why the crack in the Liberty Bell is actually a repair. As seen on Netflix.
