Breast cancer doesn’t just affect a woman’s health — it disrupts her entire life. In this interview, Dr Angela Tan, a leading sexual wellness doctor in Singapore, explains how treatment can sideswipe professional women by forcing them into early menopause at the height of their careers. The impact is deep and often hidden:

• sudden hormonal changes that affect confidence, focus, and performance
• career setbacks during a woman’s most productive years
• strain on marriages and long-term relationships
• emotional challenges around identity, intimacy, and self-worth
• grieving the life they had before diagnosis

Dr Tan shares what women, partners, and employers need to understand about the emotional, physical, and relational cost of cancer treatment — and what support truly looks like when a woman’s career, wellbeing, and marriage are all affected at once.

A powerful conversation for anyone navigating survivorship, caring for a partner, or working with women facing breast cancer.

Canadian counsellor Bill Jeffery explains why depression in men is often disguised as anger, irritation, outbursts, withdrawal, and emotional shutdowns — and why so many men - and their partners - don’t recognise it for what it is.

We break down:

• Why male depression rarely looks like sadness
• How boys are conditioned to suppress emotions
• Why anger becomes a socially “acceptable” outlet
• How partners can spot the early signs
• What support actually works for high-functioning men

If you are a high achiever, a partner of one, or someone supporting men’s mental health, this interview will change how you see anger forever.

In this episode: - The rise of the “emotional extraction” economy - How algorithms feed outrage and loneliness - How trauma impacts trust and relationships - Why slowing down and connecting with others might be the most radical act left A conversation for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the modern world — and wondered if there’s still room for empathy, reflection, and meaning.
