WTF Awakenings: Grief, Nature & the Path to Your Second Mountain with Mark Guay

In this week's episode, we have Mark Guay to speak and explore spiritual awakening as a series of moments that can reshape how we see ourselves and the world. Mark shares how childhood time in nature and the loss of his father shaped his journey, and explains what he calls an “eco-awakening” and a “WTF awakening,” a visceral experience that changes what you thought you knew. We discuss reconnecting with emotions, the role of grief and joy, and why personal growth can mean changing the life that no longer fits. Mark describes the “second mountain” as a shift from pursuing externally defined success toward living by your own values and choosing the impact you want to have.
