In Episode 9, Billy Donnelly decides to answer a question he was asked about anxiety, depression and, in general, mental health being so taboo amongst men. That leads to a deeper discussion about toxic masculinity: what it is, how it affects those issues and how we begin to address it. He talks about the misconceptions of toughness, strength, weakness and vulnerability that become problematic for mental and emotional growth, in addition to the pushback a man is likely to face when trying to open up about their emotions. He looks at our ideas of what we think a man is and challenges us to consider what we want a man to be.
