Professor Green: Vulnerability and the Journey to Self-Understanding

Pete sits down with musician, rapper and mental health advocate Stephen Manderson (better known as Professor Green).

From what it really means to be “a work in progress”, to why anger so often replaces emotion in men, this episode explores accountability, shame, grief, fatherhood and the lifelong search for feeling safe in your body.

Stephen speaks candidly about his upbringing, loss, neurodivergence, addiction, and the impact becoming a father has had on how he shows up for himself and others.

Heavy at times but hopeful throughout, this one will stay with you long after it ends.
