The Stress Sessions
EP14: Comedian & Author, Mark Watson
Season 2, Ep. 14
•
It's here! The grand finale of The Stress Sessions series two - and what a ridiculously amazing guest I've got for you this week!
Having been a successful comedian for over 20 years, releasing lots of hugely successful novels (including his latest one, 'Contacts'), appearing on one of my favourite television shows, 'Taskmaster' and as a celebrity contestant on 'Bear Grylls: The Island', there's not a lot I need to say about Mark Watson.
In this episode, we talk about 'Contacts', how sport is a massive help for Mark's mental health, teaching kids about their mental wellbeing and how he's coped during lockdown, this is one you simply can't miss.
We recorded this around Christmas in 2020, so some of the chat about lockdown may be slightly out of context, but it was too good content to edit out (so, I left it in!).
If you enjoy the episode or any of the others, please share with friends, family, or anyone who you think they may help.
Here's the series finale of The Stress Sessions with Mr Mark Watson!

On a side note, I'm not a professional in this field, nor do I claim to be. These podcasts are purely based on my own, personal experiences, and those of my guests, alongside some simple hints and tips along the way.
If you are suffering from a mental illness, there are lots of amazing charities that will be able to help you by offering professional advice. You'll be able to find these here.
