It Starts With You, a Chat with Mark Thomas

Episode 14 captures an engaging and soulful chat with guest speaker Mark Thomas. @markthomas_itstartswithyou 

Mark shares a little bit about his life story including growing pains, divorce, overcoming addiction, break throughs, choosing sobriety and wellness, loneliness,  and transformation.  Listen all the way through to hear more about Mark’s experience of getting in touch with his own loneliness and making life changing decisions to become sober and connect with himself on a much deeper level. 

Mark's main message is: It starts with you.  

My message: The healing journey is not meant to be done completely alone. Join us in a powerful conversation about resiliency in action. 

Here  are a few things to think about after listening to this episode: 

1. What comes up for you when you hear the word “loneliness?”  
2. What’s your biggest fear about feeling “lonely?”
3. Do you avoid feeling lonely by staying busy or do you embrace it? 
4. Who are the 3-5 people you spend the most time with? 
5. Do these people mirror your values ? 
6. If yes, which value is the most important that you all share in common? 
7. If no, what keeps these people around you ? 
8. What does your “team,” as a whole, value most in their lives? 

A personal bio written by Mark Thomas:

Forced to ask the question “where did it all go wrong?“ at 40 years old.A Shift of mindset. Some huge decisions made it apparent it all went wrong to become right. It was all part of the plan. The difference between being a victim and a survivor? The work. It had to be done. Delving in to the past traumas to realize it was limiting future potential. Breaking the generational curse. Then rebuild using daily habits and education as a backbone to success. A quick fire indicator that anyone can turn it around.
