In this powerful episode of Sensitive and Strong, Annet sits down with Mark Wigginton, a midlife career and transition coach, licensed counselor, and endurance athlete who has completed 84 marathons, half marathons, and even a full Ironman Triathlon at 55.

Mark identifies as a High Sensation Seeking HSP, blending emotional depth with a passion for challenge. Growing up in chaos and building a career while ignoring his wiring, Mark later discovered his Highly Sensitive identity, a revelation that didn’t rewrite his past but finally made sense of it. Today, he uses his story to help midlife professionals transform sensitivity into strength, guiding them to make career decisions, improve relationships, and create authentic work-life alignment.

In this episode, Mark shares:

• How recognizing his sensitivity reshaped his life and work
• The biggest challenges Highly Sensitive People face when finding the right career fit
• Red flags to watch for in overstimulating or draining work environments
• Practical steps for leaving a job that no longer serves you, without fear
• The unique pressures men face when making career changes and why support matters
• Words of encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, hopeless, or questioning their worth

This conversation is both deeply personal and incredibly practical, a roadmap for using your sensitivity as a strength to build a career (and life) that truly fits who you are.
