This week, Jameela catches up with actor, writer, director and comedian Stephen Merchant (The Office, The Outlaws) to explore why much of his life’s work has been about outsiders in our society, where his physical height has influenced his comedy and what logical approach he takes to keeping a balance for his mental health. You’ll hear some of Stephen’s red carpet blunders, missed opportunities for a New Year’s Eve kiss and some golden life advice on friendship and success.

They talk about how loneliness and day-to-day conflicts that impact our mental health, the ways we can equip ourselves to have difficult (and often confronting) conversations, and how direct feedback at the right time can be empowering.

To kick off Mental Health Awareness Month, Jameela is joined by comedian Neal Brennan (Netflix’s Crazy Good, Chappelle's Show) to reflect on his personal exploration of shame, fear, anger, and how discovering spirituality changed his work. They talk (and occasionally squabble) about art as expression and ambition, having the relatability factor as a modern performer, and the commodification of sadness and trauma.
