Why The Man You Became is No Longer Working

At some point all men reach a point where something in their life stops working.

A career that once made sense now feels constraining.
A relationship feels tense or distant.
Patterns repeat, despite effort and good intentions.

In this episode, Andy Nathan explains why this happens - and why it’s not a failure or flaw.

You’ll be introduced to the 9 Masks of Adam: the survival identities men adapt into early in life, often without realising it.

These strategies once helped you get ahead.
Over time, they become rigid.
And eventually, they stop working.

This episode explores what happens when a man outgrows who he had to become - and why that reckoning is a necessary part of growth.

Men don’t consciously choose the patterns that ultimately shape their lives.

They adapt.

They become who they need to become to handle pressure, expectations, responsibility, or instability.

And for a long time, that works.

Until it doesn’t.

In this episode, Andy explores why men reach a point where something in their life stops working - even though nothing obvious is “wrong.”

You’ll hear:

– Why men adapt into survival identities early in life
– How those adaptations quietly become identity
– The 9 Masks Men Wear - the core survival patterns men live from without realising it
– Why these strategies eventually reach their limit
– What it means to outgrow who you had to become

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about understanding which mask is currently running you - and why life is now demanding something different.

If you’re noticing that effort isn’t creating change,
that old ways of coping don’t land the same way,
or that something in you knows this phase is ending -

This episode will help you understand what’s happening.
