Wrong Turns with Jameela Jamil – Details, episodes & analysis

Jameela welcomes musician, actor and new author Jordan Stephens (Rizzle Kicks) for an open examination of modern masculinity, intimacy, and hope after heartbreak. Jordan speaks honestly about his anxiety in relationships, how social media distorts to a hyper-reality, and how putting time into reconnecting with himself and his community has helped him discover how to be a modern man. Jameela & Jordan also ponder some important questions about hypermasculinity and what could be contributing to the rise of men's violence.

You'll find Jordan's book "Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak & Dogs" here: buythebook.online/avoidance-drugs-heartbreak-dogs
