In this episode of Where to From Here Dr Jodie goes in session with Mark Wales, former special operations commander, champion of Survivor 2022, Author, and Keynote Speaker. Mark opens up about how he and his brother were sexually abused as children by a family member in the mid-eighties.

As a former special operations commander, Mark was used to operating in dynamic, high-stress situations. However, his time in the military seemed mild compared to the courage it took to report the abuse he suffered. He described taking it to court as similar to ‘confronting the boogie man’.

But it was taking it back to his time in the military that helped Mark establish the tools to master the fundamentals of resilience, values, and purpose. Mark’s story highlights the mind and body connection, as well as a holistic approach to mental health, well-being, and high performance. Listen to this episode for practical tips you can apply to rebuild your life when you feel as though you’ve hit rock bottom.
