  • Ruby Wax | Episode 2 | Extraordinary Life Stories
    Jun 25 2026

    In this fascinating return appearance on Extraordinary Life Stories, comedian, broadcaster, bestselling author and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax sits down once again with John Reynolds for a candid and deeply personal conversation.


    Since first becoming a household name through her fearless celebrity interviews and razor-sharp comedy, Ruby has reinvented herself as one of Britain's most influential voices on mental health and mindfulness. Drawing on her own experiences with depression and bipolar disorder, she discusses how a search for answers led her to earn a Master's degree in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy from Oxford University and dedicate much of her life to helping others understand the workings of the mind.


    In this wide-ranging interview, Ruby reflects on her extraordinary career, from the Royal Shakespeare Company and television fame to becoming an award-winning mental health advocate. She explains why mindfulness is often misunderstood, how it can help people navigate stress, anxiety and modern life's relentless distractions, and why she believes training the mind is just as important as training the body.


    The conversation also explores the ideas behind her bestselling books, including Sane New World and A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled, as well as her ongoing mission to break down the stigma surrounding mental illness with honesty, humour and compassion.
