Martin was on Blethered back in March 2019 and we had a long and open discussion about depression, anxiety, asking for help, the light at the end of the tunnel and better days ahead. That episode had a great impact on a lot of people, and we decided that now was a good time to sit down and chat again. We talk about the term ‘Speak Up’, what does it actually mean? How will it improve your life? We share our opinion and positive experience of putting that concept into practice. We take a look at the impact booze and nights out have on our mind and how it’s important to keep that under control, because it can quickly spiral without you even realising.An enjoyable episode to record and a few laughs inbetween.
