How are you?(really)

In this week's episode we talk about how to talk about mental health with family. This is a hard conversation for many, but listen in to some tips to prepare and have a productive outcome. Stigma has meant many families don't feel comfortable talking about mental health, but help break this stigma with me.

In this week's episode me and Harriet talk about feminism, education and how normalised sexism has become. 'Not All Men' has been turned into a statment of dismisissing people's experiences of sexual harrassment, help us to change this narrative and open up the conversation for everyone. The recent murder of Sarah Everard has ignited the coversation around women's safety and many women have spoken out about their experiences in response. we try to explain 'not all men', 'educate your sons' and other issues facing all people in our modern society. join us to learn how to support your friends and stop stigma surrounding people speaking up
