What a strong and powerful woman for coming on and sharing her story. Great episode gents

[@emeryalexander]

Really enjoyed hearing deb and her family’s story. What a strong a powerful woman.

[@MindTheStigma]

Indeed, and a powerful message too. 👍

[@jonfev1958]

Just a heart wrenching discussion it goes some of the way to explain the aftermath of the act
Totally in admiration for the openness and honesty.

[@MindTheStigma]

Thanks! Sometimes the aftermath isn’t really talked about.

[@Badger8200]

I feel that men don't open up because we are seen as a burden of we admit we have issues. The pressure of being a man is never discussed enough in my opinion. Thanks to podcasts like this and more attention being made recently this can help to break the stigma.

[@MindTheStigma]

#BreakTheStigma !!! 👍
