Jane Garvey is joined by the actors Emilia Fox and Emma Fielding to talk about their roles in a new play about the choices and regrets of a stay at home mum and a successful academic. We discuss how men feel about their body image and how it affects their self-esteem. In the first of a three part series we hear from mothers of disabled children: Hannah talks about the challenges of combining paid work with caring for a disabled child. And when four young people take their own lives everyday, we ask how we could have a better conversations with them about the subject of suicide.
