In this week’s episode, host Alan O'Mara and producer Mary Kate Boylan sit down to talk about topics including asking for help, how they feel about the word 'resilience' and turning awareness into action. Using last week’s interview with comedian Emman Idama as a jumping off point, Alan and Mary Kate chat through their reflections from the week.
Trigger warning for the episode: Emman is a brilliant comic, and we discuss his comedy career throughout the episode. We also talk about more difficult parts of Emman’s life - including the abuse he lived through as a child.
