In this powerful opening episode of KAST Season 2, we sit down with Kwesi Amesu, therapist and NHS mental health specialist, to unpack one of the biggest questions facing society today:

Why don’t men talk about their mental health?

From stigma and masculinity to cultural expectations and emotional conditioning, Kwesi shares deep insight from both his professional experience within the NHS and his work supporting men through mental health struggles every day.

We explore:

Why men are conditioned to suffer in silence
The real cost of emotional suppression
How culture, upbringing and identity shape male vulnerability
The link between silence, burnout, addiction, suicide and self harm
What needs to change, individually and systemically
This conversation is honest, challenging, and necessary.

Season 2 of KAST is all about real people with real stories, individuals who’ve faced struggle, transformed their lives, and are now using their experiences to create impact. This episode sets the tone for the season: open, authentic, and unapologetically real.

If you have ever felt like you had to “just get on with it”, or someone who wants to better understand the men in their life, this episode is for you!!

Kal and Stam Talk - Ep.6 - Imposter Syndrome & Self Doubt.

We’ve all had that moment where we question ourselves, wondering if we really belong, if we’re truly good enough, or if we’re just pretending to know what we’re doing. But is that feeling imposter syndrome, or simply self-doubt?

In this episode of Kal and Stam Talk, we break down the difference between the two, how they show up in our everyday lives, and why so many of us silently carry these thoughts. From personal stories of battling inner critics, to exploring the root causes of doubt, we dive into what it means to live authentically while facing these challenges head-on.

Our goal is to remind you that you’re not alone, whether it’s in your career, studies, or personal life, these feelings are more common than you think. And by talking about them openly, we can take away some of their power.

👉 Join us for another real, unfiltered conversation.
