We're joined by Nottingham’s own Alex Mighten (formerly performing as Karizma) — rapper, singer-songwriter, and event host — for a heartfelt conversation about men’s mental health and masculinity.

Alex opens up about his personal journey through counselling, early fatherhood, and the silent struggles many men face balancing the societal pressures to “be strong” and “provide.”

We explore the stigma around asking for help, the impact of generational patterns, and the emotional weight carried by fathers, partners, and men navigating today’s expectations.

From feelings of jealousy and helplessness in early parenthood to breaking harmful stereotypes, Alex shares honest reflections on vulnerability, emotional intelligence, and what it truly means to show up emotionally.

Whether you’re a dad, partner, or someone rethinking masculinity and modern parenthood, this episode offers powerful insights and practical advice on how to support men and build healthier emotional connections.
