Mark MI words

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of depression, suicidal ideation, and mental health struggles.

When your own mind is telling you that you're not good enough, it can be hard to see how far you've come. In this raw and deeply personal episode, Mark explores the hidden battle of mental illness, the importance of purpose, and why sometimes the greatest victory is simply choosing to keep going.

Because even when it does...

The first victims of the Holocaust were the disabled and the mentally ill.

If I lived in nazi Germany I would have had to wear an inverted black triangle.

If we allow unchecked hatred for one group of people (the Jews) then who is next.

This is not an existential thought problem, it is history.

I stand with Israel.

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and the last ten years of your life had simply vanished?

Your family were strangers. Your home was unfamiliar. The country you lived in made no sense. And the last thing you remembered was hiding for your life during a genocide.

That's exactly what happened to one man I worked with in the 1990s.

I thought I was there to help him rebuild his life. Instead, I found myself in the middle of one of...

This is one of the hardest conversations I’ve ever put behind a microphone. My daughter came to me with questions — real ones, heavy ones — and there was nowhere to hide from them.

So we sat down, we opened the door to all of it, and we went exactly where the truth took us.

Let’s dive in, and you’ll hear what unfolded.

I tried something different: Lisa and Scott Brearley from Soulmates and Suitcases reached out, so I decided to switch roles and be the one answering the questions.

I really enjoyed speaking with Lisa and Scott. The conversation was deeply meaningful to me.

There are conversations that scrape at old wounds, and then there are the ones that open them. Talking about suicide — your own, your child’s, your family’s — is one of the hardest things a parent can ever sit through.

You could be thinking that as an interviewer who has done over 500 interviews on live radio, spoken in front of thousands of people and also done 350 podcast episodes - that I wouldn't really get nervous before I do an interview. Normally you'd be correct - but not today.

All books take a lot of time and effort to write. But how can it possibly 20 years from start to finish?

When you put trauma on the table — real trauma — and add a CPTSD diagnosis, the delay makes sense. I had to get steady enough to face what the writing was dredging up. The truth is, when I started this book, I didn’t even know I was carrying half the pain that eventually surfaced.
