The 2nd Episode of 2022 is here & it is well worth the wait folks. I catch up with an amazing gentleman called Gerry Murphy.
Gerry was raised in the Gorbals in Glasgow as one of 7 children from a single parent household & grew up in a life of poverty, fear & violence. By the time he reached his mid 30's, Gerry had been in out of several mental institutions as well as prison & had made several attempts at taking his own life. He was gripped with fear & suffered from drink & drug addiction & things were severely bleak.
However, despite tragically losing 3 close family members in quick succession, Gerry found an inner strength to turn his life around & we discuss that process & some of the amazing work he has done to help others over the past 25 years.
Despite not being able to read or write in his mid 30's Gerry went on to gain several qualifications such as Diplomas & Degrees before realising he still hadn't educated himself & truly found happiness within.
He has since portrayed this in his own book 'Now I Understand' which we discuss in great detail & cover topics such as the Innocence of a child, Learned Behaviours, Expectations, Power of our thoughts, Acceptance & Fear.
A real informative & educational episode that you simply cannot be better off for having listened. Enjoy!
