Building an Archive of Human Struggle & Triumph One Story at a Time. Interview with Jimmy Westerheim: Founder of The Human Aspect

Get in touch with us! We’d appreciate your feedback and comments.

In this extended episode, I am joined by Jimmy Westerheim, founder and director of The Human Aspect.

At the age of 13, Jimmy sat in a tree and planned how he would take his own life. From that moment on, his challenges became both his burden and his superpower. His life took him on a journey around the world via sports, Coast guard, international shipping and Doctors Without Borders. From there, he brought with him a wide range of experiences, but continued to ask himself why mental health was never part of the conversation.

From this, The Human Aspect and the Life Experience Library were born in 2016.
As the founder of THA and lead interviewer he has interviewed more than 750 people from all walks of life, who share their challenges, how they overcame them and tools they learned along the way. He has led THA from an idea to a global movement that aims to redefine mental health globally.

What is The Human Aspect?
The Life Experience Library is our mission, realized. By interviewing people from all over the world about their life’s toughest challenge we are bringing the invaluable lessons they’ve learned right to your fingertips.

 Our interactive library allows you to search for interviews based on what you may be experiencing at that time, exploring hundreds of stories and lessons shared by someone who has endured a similar struggle.

Combining the power of filmatic storytelling with the vulnerability of the human experience, our video interviews are split into three sections.
