I started just swallowing my emotions, you know, and you know, I grew up in Brixton in my like teen years and, you know, that wasn't at the time, it wasn't a place of like, you know, just tell me how you feel man you know just have a stretch have a meditate take a deep breath you know if you showed any emotion it better be anger and so that always ended up being my like go-to emotion.

It gets better because it has to get better.

We're all made of human.

Hello, you are listening to the Made of Human

podcast. I'm Sophie Hagen. I'm your host. I'm a Danish stand-up

comedian that should explain why I sound like this and in order to explain the background noise

It's a busy London street because I'm not closing my window because it's so hot in London right now

I can't even exist in myself so the window is open meaning it's so loud. It's so loud. I had to sleep in this you just have to listen to this intro, so we'll be fine.

This is episode 102. I like this counting of the episodes now. 102 episodes.

It's still so weird to me. My guest is Michelle the Sward. If you don't

know Michelle the Sward, you're about to. She's... I met her so many years ago when I first moved to London and I was blown away by her and as you

all here in the episode I handled it problematically as I say that

it's as you know now if you've listened for a while

I've I have these childhood teenage issues with the

people who are really conventionally attractive.

It's a weird thing for me.

And it's still sometimes it just comes out and I realize,

oh, Sophie, you were just a dickhead.

You were just an absolute dickhead right there, because you were just a dickhead. You were just an absolute dickhead right there because you were jealous or something.

And that's basically how I met Michelle was by feeling that way.

And I have no reason to it because Michelle is absolutely just

awesome and I'm sure you'll you'll feel the same way once you've heard heard her
