    Martyn's 'Unravelling', Emotional Abuse and Becoming and Ironman
    Dec 10 2022
    This is the second part of Episode 17. Martyn continues the decent into his 'Dark Night of the Soul' experience and comes out of the other side. He talks you through what led to him being in, and struggling with, an emotionally abusive relationship, continuing to turn up for himself with his Lakesman training, shedding what was no longer needed and coming out of the darkness feeling refreshed and more him than ever. As the world around him helped him recognise how he had abandoned himself his whole life, he managed to finally fall in love with himself and this wonderful experience of life - all of it.

  • Martyn's 'Unravelling', Emotional Abuse and Becoming and Ironman

    Martyn's 'Unravelling', Emotional Abuse and Becoming and Ironman
    Dec 5 2022

    Martyn uses the concept of 'Dark Night of the Soul' to discuss with you the unravelling he encountered following the 'failed' adoption experience he shared in Episode 16. He uses his social media history to recount the experiences of the time. He filled the gap created after deciding to not adopt with a deep dive into yoga, starting to train for the Lakesman (an Ironman distance event), continuing to overwork, seek perfection and consequently becoming extremely vulnerable.


    This is part 1 of Episode 17, in part 2 he will explore the dissolution he had to go through, perfectly catalysed by a deeply unfulfilling and emotionally abusive relationship, and shedding so many unhelpful layers of who he knew himself to be. From this empty and dark place the Lakesman training was a constant and brought him out the other side stronger, more resilient, lighter and ready for the next chapter.
