This bonus episode is with Married At First Sight Star Jessika Power. Jessika is a great individual, and is being portrayed as a villain in the media and on the show. Arguably, this might be true due to the edit of the show. I chatted to Jess about her audition process for the show, the whirlwind experience and the legitimacy of the relationships, as well as the trolling and bullying she has experienced.

This episode of Headstrong was recorded in Summer 2019. Dr Alex was the first ever guest on Headstrong, and there is a lot of important content in the conversation, particularly surrounding mental health.

Dr Alex has just been made an ambassador for mental health by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, so I felt it important to be re-released.

I hope you enjoy this episode, 'Into the archives'.

Thank you to Dr Alex and all of the staff in the NHS. Stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives.
