Mark MI words

My new book has just come out. It's called 'BUMWIPER- 18 years working with people with disabilities'. And today I'm going to tell you one of the stories that's in this book.

This is my story of trying to save a man with brain injury and psychosis from ending his own life.

Be aware. This episode contains depictions of suicidal behavior, suicide, violence, blood, and a little bit of gore.

This week’s episode tackles one of the most urgent crises facing Australia — and the world: domestic violence. Women are being harmed and killed by the people meant to love and protect them, and the numbers are rising. I grew up believing a man’s role is to safeguard his family, never hurt them, and that belief drives this conversation. This episode asks a simple, confronting question: What must good men do? And w...

Can a smile save a life?

That's the question our guest leaves us with today.

The long walk to suicide a lonely one.

Maybe your intervention, your love, can halt that walk in its tracks.

I have the privilege of speaking to police recruits about my mental illness — and about the moments when police have met me at my worst, in the middle of a mental health crisis.

I don’t give them theory. I give them a story.

A real one. A raw one. One that shows what it feels like when the uniform arrives, when the world is spinning, and when the difference between escalation and safety comes down to a single human choice...

Today on Mark MI Words we welcome Sgt Tom Lee.

Tom has been shot at, lied about, fired, praised, rebuilt, broken, and redeemed — and somehow, he’s still on the job.

For more than twenty‑three years he’s been on the front line of Texas law enforcement. University patrols, city policing, a Sheriff’s Office Mental Health Sergeant — he’s walked into the places most people cross the street to avoid. His...

It's not just the door kickers who served in the front lines that came home with invisible wounds. It was also the men and women who repaired their equipment and who ensured their weapons would work every time.

They worked in the same dust and smoke as the door-kickers. They shared the same dangers, slept in the same hoochs and shred the loneliness away from their friends and families.

They are the soldiers who have the hardest time ...

Too many times, I open the comments on Mark MI Words and see the same thing: men telling me I’m weak. You’d think we’d be past that by now — past the idea that a man has to be unbreakable, silent, stone‑faced to count as strong. But day after day, it still shows up.

In this episode, I dig into the difference between being vulnerable and being weak, and why so many people still confuse the two. I talk about wh...

This week, I want to talk a couple of conversations that have stayed with me in a way I can’t shake. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve spoken with people living with mental illness who have survived significant abuse. And in both conversations, the most disturbing moment wasn’t the trauma they described — it was when they told me they believed it was their fault.Hearing that hit me hard. Even though I’...

In this episode, I dive deep into the brutal power of negative self‑talk — the constant voice that tells people with mental illness they’re worthless, hopeless, or broken. I share my own battles with self‑criticism, suicidal ideation, and the lies my mind tells me daily, and how mindfulness, awareness, and connection have helped me fight back.

This isn’t about “thinking positive.” It’s about survi...
