#49: Learning who I am all over again with Mark Achermann

<p>Mark lost his business and his wife in the same week and life as he knew it turned upside-down. What followed was three months alone, hiking through New Zealand with no plan and a hell of a lot of space to feel.</p><p>This episode isn&#39;t really about what happened to Mark, it&#39;s about what&#39;s happened since. We talk about self-sabotage he still can&#39;t fully explain, the mask he puts on to be liked and the strange, uncomfortable in-between of not being who he used to be but not quite knowing who he&#39;s becoming either.</p><p>We get into:</p><ul><li>Why we sabotage the things we say we want</li><li>What it&#39;s actually like to lose your identity all at once</li><li>The mask we wear to be accepted and what it costs us</li><li>Why solitude isn&#39;t always the same as peace</li><li>What it means to keep choosing to feel things, even when it&#39;s bloody uncomfortable.</li></ul><p>If you&#39;ve ever felt like you don&#39;t know who you are anymore, or like you&#39;re stuck between the old version of yourself and whoever&#39;s next - this one&#39;s for you.<a href="https://www.rickwatson.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Connect with Rick </a></p>
