the mentl space
the mentl space is a podcast for open, honest conversations about mental health, wellbeing, leadership and the cultures that help people thrive.
Hosted by Scott Armstrong, founder of mentl, the show brings together leaders, psychologists, doctors, authors, athletes, entrepreneurs, advocates and people with lived experience to explore what mental health means in real life, at work, at home and in the community.
From workplace wellbeing, burnout, psychological safety and inclusion, to parenting, men’s mental health, resilience, digital wellbeing, leadership and the human stories behind change, each episode asks what it really takes to move from awareness to action.
This is a space for practical insight, personal honesty and better conversations about how we live, lead and support one another.
Because when we talk more openly, we make it easier for everyone to thrive.

Supporting Colleagues Under Pressure | Practical Workplace Tools
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In times of high pressure and uncertainty, stress can show up quickly in the workplace, as distraction, irritability, withdrawal, conflict, or reduced performance.
In Episode One of our new Workplace Harmonics webinar series, supported by Viatris, mentl founder Scott Armstrong is joined by Dr Robert Chandler, clinical psychologist and Managing Director of The Lighthouse Arabia, to explore practical ways leaders and colleagues can support one another during challenging periods while maintaining healthy professional boundaries.
Together they discuss how uncertainty affects behaviour at work, how to check in with colleagues without escalating anxiety, how to manage difficult conversations respectfully, and how to recognise when someone may need additional support.
The conversation also explores simple, practical actions leaders and teams can take to restore stability, focus, and psychological safety during uncertain times.
This webinar is part of our Workplace Harmonics series, supported by Viatris, focused on practical wellbeing tools for leaders and teams.
Across three sessions, the series explores how to support colleagues during challenging moments, address the drivers of stress and burnout, and build neuroinclusive workplaces where different ways of thinking are supported.
The focus throughout is on simple, actionable approaches that strengthen communication, psychological safety, and resilience across teams.
