0:00.0	Hello, guilty feminists. This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. It's so much easier than it
0:06.2	used to be to talk about mental health. It's a long way from being the shameful secret it once was,
0:11.7	but that doesn't mean there's no progress to be made. In a recent UK survey, over a third of people
0:16.7	said they feel uncomfortable discussing mental health concerns with others due to fear of
0:21.2	judgment. And if people hesitate to get help, it doesn't just affect them. It affects their
0:26.6	families, their workplaces, sometimes entire communities. So we should do what we can to be open
0:32.4	and honest about our mental well-being and try to break down the stigma because the world is better when people
0:39.1	are healthy and happy. I've certainly found therapy has helped me to come to terms with all
0:44.2	sorts of issues and I've had no fear of talking about them as regular listeners will know.
0:49.7	And as the largest online therapy provider in the world, BetterHelp can provide access to mental
0:55.2	health professionals with a diverse variety of expertise. The best thing is, you can keep trying
1:01.8	different therapists till you find the one for you. I didn't like therapy at all until I found
1:06.5	the right therapist. And this is something Better Help can really help with. We're all better with
1:12.1	help. Our listeners get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash TGF. That's BetterHLP.com
1:19.5	slash TGF. Hello, Guilty Feminist. This is Deborah. This week we take a break in my book tour
1:27.4	to visit an old episode about the situation for women in Iran.
1:33.0	I think it's one of the most important episodes we've ever done.
1:36.0	And tragically, the situation in Iran for women is even more urgent to address now.
1:41.6	I co-hosted this with Shappi Kasandi.
1:43.4	We had amazing guests. I really hope you
1:46.2	enjoy it. The first half, because Shappi is so funny, was really, really funny, but the gear
1:51.0	change is moving. And I think it's something you'll really be gripped by. Thank you to Soho Theatre
