Summary

Oh hiiiii there, wonderful humans! On today’s show: Do young people really lack resilience like Ita Buttrose said last week, and are they in need of more hugs? Plus, we need to talk about old mate Ziggy Alberts not being a fan of face masks. Then, we talk about Kanye West and the intersection of mental health and social media. This week, Mich recommended watching Monica Lewinsky’s TED Talk, The price of shame. Zara recommended the interview with Bernardine Evaristo on How To Fail With Elizabeth Day.

0:15.8	Did you know 75% of girls start their first period with negative emotions?

1:46.5	I was going to say we're not usually wanting to be completely doom and gloom because we said
1:50.6	from the start of COVID that though we would touch on COVID we would try to keep this a light space but I think it would be a
1:56.7	remiss of us to not acknowledge that this is a pretty low time for Melbourne I
2:01.0	can't think of a lower time since probably this entire
2:03.7	thing started for Melbourne. Like I am feeling particularly low about it. I think it's just
