Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! In Episode 4 of Tough Talks, Louise and Luke get into a conversation about two words we’ve all heard before: “Man up.” Is it harmless banter? Tough love? A way of building resilience? Or can those two words shut someone down when they’re already struggling? From men’s mental health and parenting to growing up in a changing world, Louise and Luke explore why context matters and why knowing the person behind the struggle matters even more. As always with Tough Talks, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns too, including the impact of COVID and lockdown, losing control and freedom, our reliance on technology, parenting in today’s world, knife crime, social media and the importance of speaking up about mental health. It’s open, unfiltered and full of the conversations we often think about but don’t always say out loud.
