It Costs Nothing To Be Kind

Grace has discovered an unknown dating show she deems better than 'Love Island' and we briefly explore the term ‘negative self obsession’, before diving into the backlash aimed at Jameela Jamil this week and the awful phenomenon of social media pile-ons. Which brings us to our big topic - Caroline Flack, the British TV presenter who tragically died by suicide this week. Many have dubbed hers a ‘death by media’ or ‘death by trolling’, adding to an ongoing question about how to handle the mainstream media’s reckless harassment of (mainly young and female) celebrities. Where do we lay the blame? And how can we, as individuals, strive to be kinder - both to people in the public eye and the people in our own lives? To investigate, we open up about our own experiences with mental health and depression
