Welcome back for the 17th episode of the Marcus Talks podcast. This week I speak about the subject of "doing the work", something we all hear and something we may fall into the trap of. I take you through some of my ways I've done the work, look at reframing the term and how to live your life with a little more pleasure and acceptance.

This week I share with you my story. From how I get from a suicidal young man, through business highs and lows, a divorce and an awakening.

This was a difficult but much needed episode to make. I unveil my battles with suicidal thoughts and hope I can give you a glimmer of hope when hope feels a long way off.

If you're struggling with suicidal thoughts then please seek the correct help immediately. I've added the Samaritans hotline below; 116 123 SMS: Text SHOUT to 85258 Please share this video if you think it will help someone in need. www.marcus-talks.com

Welcome back everyone - In this episode I talk about how it's ok to feel what you're feeling and how to reframe what you're going through so you don't feel like you're alone. Thoughts and emotions can often be overwhelming and messy and you can feel totally out of control. How can you trust yourself if you don't even know what feelings are right or not? I unpick my ups and downs and hopefully it helps you make some space for your emotions to exist.

Thanks so much for listening, Marcus x
