Trigger warning - this episode talks about domestic abuse, mental health and alcoholism.

“I don’t know how you do it” said no one ever…to a high flying man.

The pressure for women to be perfect is cited as the leading cause of anxiety amongst us - we have to have the perfect job, and the perfect family and also look perfect all of the time.

And the consequences are omnipresent.  With one in five women suffering from ‘common mental disorders’ such as depression or anxiety in any given week.  (That’s compared to one in eight men).

I’m far from an expert on mental health, but I do know that we only grow stronger and reduce stigma by opening up and talking about taboo topics such as this.

Which is why I’m so honored to have our guest, Oshika, with us today.  When she first told me her quite extraordinary story, I burst into tears.  Her humility, her resilience and her strength and compassion shine through in everything she does.

Only the strong can be vulnerable, so Oshika thank you for being so strong in sharing your story with us.
