“It’s Never Too Late To Have A Good Childhood” - Jaz Ampaw-Farr
Project Possible with Rich Leigh - interviews that might just change your lifeShow Notes
Jaz Ampaw-Farr believes it’s never too late to have a good childhood.
An internationally renowned speaker, former teacher, and advocate for resilience and human connection, Jaz has spent years helping people rewrite the stories they were born into.
Because she had to do it herself.
Jaz grew up surrounded by violence, abuse, neglect, racism, foster care and unimaginable instability. She was homeless at university, sexually abused as a child, and convinced for much of her early life that she might never make it to adulthood.
In this conversation, we talk about the five teachers who quietly changed the course of her life, the power of “everyday heroes,” and why breaking the cycle is only the beginning.
We also explore trauma, identity, shame, self-worth, education, parenting, possibility, and what it really means to rewrite your story.
Emotional. Honest. Hopeful.

Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.
Project Possible is a podcast about resilience, ambition, grief, reinvention, success, failure and what human beings are truly capable of.
Hosted by me, Rich Leigh, each episode explores the lives, minds and experiences of extraordinary people from business, sport, entertainment, science and beyond.
After my younger brother Jordan took his own life, I sold the PR agency I’d spent over a decade building and decided to go all-in on creating something meaningful.
This podcast is the result.
