The one where we exercise our very effective sadness suppression techniques
This week Emma and Nicole speak to Jordan Stephens - writer and performer best known for being one-half of Rizzle Kicks. These days he is a mental health campaigner and is refreshingly honest about the negative effects of hyper-masculinity. We discuss the importance of looking after our mental health, toxic masculinity, grief and the effects of being in the media spotlight.
