Are organisations putting power and profit before people?
The ladies discuss whether organisations react poorly to people struggling with their mental health due to a lack of empathy or because of ignorance about the realities of living with mental health issues, after four-time grand slam tennis champion Naomi Osaka is fined $15,000 for refusing to take part in anxiety-inducing post-match press interviews and withdraws from the French Open to protect her mental health. Featuring guest host, Anissa.
