    Denise Gough...on People, Places, and Things and meeting Emma again after all these years

    Before Adwoa (briefly) leaves the chat to welcome her baby (!!!) -- you're in for a treat... In a very special episode of Gurls Talk, Adwoa sits down with acclaimed actress Denise Gough for a compelling conversation about her role in the play "People, Places, and Things." Together, they delve into themes of addiction, trauma, and the portrayal of these issues on stage. Denise Gough won ‘Best Actress’ at the 2016 Olivier Awards and at the Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards for her performance as Emma in People Places & Things originally at the National Theatre in 2015.  She went on to win her second Olivier Award (‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’) for her performance in Tony Kushner's Angels in America for which she was nominated for a Tony Award®  when the National Theatre production transferred to Broadway. Gough has also been nominated for a British Academy Television Award for her performance in Clara Salaman incendiary three-part ITV series Too Close. More recently she played the role of Dedra Meero in Disney+’s hugely successful Star Wars spin-off series, Andor. People, Places, and Things will run until August 10th at the Trafalgar Theatre  in London. You can buy tickets here.  ---  Executive Producer: Gurls Talk, Inc.  Host: Adwoa Aboah  Guest: Denise Gough  Producer: Wicked Child Studio, Hailey Rovner Malach  Composer: Mikey Long  Special thanks to Jo Malone London for their generous support of the podcast.

    R;pple Suicide Prevention founder Alice Hendy... on creating a ripple effect of change

    ​​**This episode of the Gurls Talk podcast discusses sensitive topics surrounding suicide and the experience of losing a loved one to suicide.  While we aim to provide a supportive space for these conversations, we recognize that they may be distressing for some listeners. It's important to remember that help is available.  In the United States, you can reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. For support in the UK, you can contact the National Suicide Prevention Helpline at 0800 689 5652.  If you or someone you know is struggling, please don't hesitate to reach out to a friend, family member, loved one, coach, counselor, or seek professional help. Remember, you are not alone.** R;pple Suicide Prevention was founded in 2021 by Alice Hendy after she tragically lost her only sibling, Josh, to suicide.  Josh had been searching for techniques to take his own life through harmful internet searches. Witnessing the lack of appropriate support available online, Alice was inspired to take action and R;pple was born.  You can learn more about R;pple by heading to www.ripplesuicideprevention.com  ---  Executive Producer: Gurls Talk, Inc.  Host: Adwoa Aboah Guest: Alice Hendy Producer: Wicked Child Studio Producer: Hailey Rovner Malach Production Assistant: Ginger Roberts  Editor: Morgan Muse  Composer: Mikey Long  Special thanks to Jo Malone London for their generous support of the podcast.
