1 hour 30 minutes | Wednesday, 17 June 2026

We're getting valuable insights from Dr. Alison Burrows, technology and wellbeing consultant, and Yasmin Carey, an influencer and content creator - they're on opposite ends of the argument.  Plus - we're getting to know the communities that you could join if you need a safe space:UNMUTE for mothers, Living Room Theatre, and The Expression Lab.  And finally, would you let AI choose your life partner? Sara Al Madani and Mohamed Amine Belarby have created a platform called Soulsearch.ai - which they're calling "Love is Blind" in an app.  They've also created LoveHelp.ai - an AI therapist platform.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
