After my incredible interview with Roman Kemp last week, I wanted to spend this week's bonus episode talking about men and their mental health. Why do men struggle to talk about what's bothering us? This episode is essential listening for all men, plus any girlfriends, wives, mothers and friends who want to find out how to support someone in their life who is struggling.

This episode covers:

1'20 - Why there's a stigma surrounding getting help

3'00 - Do all mental health issues stem from childhood trauma?

4'00 - Why are men reluctant to talk about their emotions?

6'20 - How does talking help?

10'10 - When is it time to go to therapy?

15'00 - Why do I parent my son differently to my daughter?

18'00 - Will the destigmatisation of ill-mental health lead to a weaker generation?

21'00 - How do you speak to someone who is struggling?
