The Mark Groves Podcast

Are you wondering if you should stay or go? Because here is the thing, it is never really just about the relationship. It is about you, your patterns, your upper limits, and the stories you have been telling yourself about what love is supposed to look like. We talk about why staying for the kids might not be the noble choice you think it is, why both people have to be all in or the healing is just pretend, and the questions that will cut straight to the truth of what you actually want. 00:00 The Big Question: Should You Stay or Go? 00:50 Context: Navigating Healthy Adults' Dysfunctions 02:05 Identifying Relational "Upper Limits" and Patterns 02:56 Why Both Partners Must Be "All In" to Heal 04:17 The Nuance of Staying for the Kids 06:58 Why Relational Education is a Vital Life Skill 09:25 Essential Questions from "Too Good to Stay, Too Bad to Leave 10:29 3 Perspective-Shifting Questions for Clarity Resources: Need a digital detox?

In this episode, I share the story of quitting Instagram and what that period of separation taught me about endings, growth, and what it actually means to return to something. What started as a personal reckoning became a much bigger conversation about what these platforms are actually doing to us - how they're designed to hijack your nervous system through shock, rage, and dopamine hits, and why the anxiety so many of us feel might just be a normal response to a very abnormal relationship with technology. And at the root of all of it is one simple question: if you can't put your phone down, is your yes actually a choice? 00:00 - The Power of Choosing to End Something 01:10 - Learning from Mistakes and Moving Forward 02:50 - The Toxic Psychology of Social Media Platforms 04:11 - How Algorithms Exploit Human Attention 08:02 - Your Phone's Impact on the Nervous System 09:44 - Anxiety as a Response to Extractive Technology Resources: Need a digital detox?

In this episode, I want to encourage you to think about one thing - are you actually living your life, or are you living next to it? We explore what it means to stop being adjacent to yourself, why the things we use to numb the gap like alcohol, screens, and other people's opinions are actually keeping us from the most important relationship we will ever have, and why the journey to find yourself and the journey to find God are the same road. 00:00 - Introduction to Divine Purpose 01:00 - Numbing and Distraction in Culture 02:25 - The Journey to Self and God 04:27 - Integrity and Attention 05:30 - Evolution of Teaching and Authentic Voice Resources: —Need a digital detox?

In this episode, I explore inner authority and why so many of us have been conditioned to fawn, shrink, and give our power away in the face of authority, whether that's a parent, a boss, a partner, or a system. True devotion to yourself means having your own back, and that requires accessing the part of you that can say no, draw a boundary, and meet injustice with the full force of who you are. We dig into the neuroscience of why niceness can actually be manipulation, why a harmless man is not a good man, and how reclaiming your relationship to anger and power is not about destruction but about protection of everything you hold sacred. Because the world will never stop trying to pull you out of alignment, and the only thing that keeps you anchored is knowing that when push comes to shove, you have yourself. 00:01 - Meeting Authority with Authority 01:30 - Why We Fawn to Authority Figures 02:45 - The Masculine Energy Paradox: Destruction vs Protection 04:20 - Standing Up Without Shrinking Yourself 05:15 - Strategic Power vs Fawning Energy 06:30 - When Saying Yes Means Betraying Yourself 07:45 - The Dangerous Good Person: Voluntary Control 08:30 - Accessing Your Rage to Find Your Boundaries 09:15 - Why "Nice" People Are Actually Manipulative 10:00 - Your Power Practice: Boxing, Boundaries & Devotion Resources: —Need a digital detox?

In this episode, I explore how our relationship with technology, and specifically our smartphones, has quietly become one of the greatest threats to our most sacred relationship: the one we have with ourselves. Devotion isn't just a spiritual concept, it's a choice we make every single day, and every time we reach for our phone we are either honoring or abandoning that relationship. We dig into the neuroscience of why social media is designed to hijack your attention, why even having your phone in the room is costing you more than you think, and the simple but powerful practices that can help you reclaim your focus, hear your own inner voice, and stop outsourcing your peace to a screen. Because focus is the competitive advantage of the future, and the life you want is waiting on the other side of your attention. Resources: Need a digital detox?

In this episode, I explore the profound difference between commitment and devotion and why that distinction might be the thing standing between you and the life you're actually meant to live. Commitment lives in the mind; it's strategic, rigid, and safe, but devotion is sacred. It's the full surrender to your mission, your dharma, the great work of your life. We dive into why so many of us stay stuck in tolerable disappointment, how rock bottom can actually be the portal to alignment, and the four keys from the Bhagavad Gita that will challenge you to stop chasing someone else's version of success and start showing up fully, authentically, and reverently for your own. 00:00 Devotion vs. Commitment: 04:04 Defining Dharma 05:36 Power of Surrender 09:21 Internalizing Worth 11:00 Path of Action: 14:49 Iterations of Self Resources: Get My Book!

Here's what nobody wants to hear: the relationship you keep ending up in isn't bad luck - it's a pattern, and patterns have origins. In this episode, I'm unpacking the "problem and fixer" dynamic, how your childhood attachment wounds quietly write the script for who you're attracted to, and why being needed can feel so much like being loved when really, it's a wound in disguise. We get into how deception and narcissistic patterns hook the part of you that learned to earn love through overgiving and why real healing doesn't start with fixing yourself, it starts with stopping the story that you're broken. This is a call to take radical responsibility for the places you've abandoned yourself, grieve the original pain that keeps you chasing what you never received, and finally build the discernment and boundaries that don't just change your relationships, they change you.

In this episode I drop the structure and speak directly to the part of you that knows you’ve forgotten who you are. I reflect on the grief that comes with waking up to the ways you’ve abandoned yourself, shaped your life around survival patterns, and lost touch with your truth just to belong. I talk about why suffering isn’t something to escape but something that’s asking you to pay attention, and how the very pain you’re feeling is the doorway back to meaning, to possibility, to you. This is a reminder that even if you feel lost, you’re not off path, you’re in the process of remembering. Resources: Get My Book!

In this episode I challenge you to take radical responsibility for what you consume and recognize how it’s shaping your thoughts, your emotions, and ultimately your entire life. I unpack how constant exposure to fear, division, and negativity is dysregulating your nervous system and pulling you further away from truth, connection, and hope, and why protecting your peace is no longer optional, it’s essential. This is a call to stop numbing, stop outsourcing your mindset, and start becoming fiercely intentional about what you let into your mind, your body, and your relationships. Because if you don’t choose what you consume, it will choose who you become. Resources: Get My Book!

In this episode I break down why you keep going back to the same person, pattern, or behavior and why it’s not failure, it’s unfinished healing. I unpack how shame keeps you stuck, how unresolved grief is driving your choices, and why you’re not going backwards, you’re being shown what still needs to be healed. This is a call to stop avoiding the deeper work, start choosing yourself, and finally build the self-trust that changes everything. Resources: Get My Book!

In this episode I sit down with Arthur Brooks to unpack why so many people feel lost, disconnected, and unsure of their purpose despite living in an age of endless opportunity. We explore what meaning actually is, how love, purpose, and belonging are built in real life not on screens, and why the path forward requires getting honest, getting off the dopamine treadmill, embracing boredom, and reconnecting to something greater than yourself. This conversation is an invitation to step out of autopilot, take your attention back, and start creating a life rooted in meaning instead of distraction. Arthur Brooks is a professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, where he teaches leadership and happiness, as well as a CBS News Contributor, columnist for The Free Press, and host of the podcast Office Hours with Arthur Brooks.

In this episode I dive into how the beliefs you hold about the world quietly shape your entire life. I explore the idea that if you don’t consciously choose how you see the world, you’ll end up living inside limits someone else programmed into you. I talk about what it means to believe life is working for you rather than against you, how even painful experiences become curriculum when you choose growth, and why accepting where you are is the foundation for creating something different. This is a call to question the systems, stories, and expectations that have defined who you think you’re supposed to be and to start trusting the voice inside you that knows there’s more available for your life.

In this episode Mark sits down with Andy Mant, founder of Bon Charge, to explore how the modern world is quietly hijacking our biology through light. We talk about how artificial lighting, screens, and constant stimulation are disrupting our circadian rhythms, driving stress, poor sleep, and metabolic dysfunction and why something as simple as getting morning sunlight and managing blue light at night can radically shift your energy and health. This conversation is a deep dive into how our environment shapes our nervous system and how reclaiming your relationship with light might be one of the most powerful and overlooked ways to change your life.Andy Mant is a global leader in the wellness technology industry, known for building BON CHARGE into a multimillion-dollar direct-to-consumer brand focused on red light therapy, PEMF, circadian lighting and other cutting edge wellness technology targeting longevity.

In this episode I dismantle the prison of regret, resentment, and anger and show you how those very emotions can become the fuel for your greatest transformation. I unpack the paradox of regret, why your past can educate you without defining you, and how to channel heartbreak, betrayal, and disappointment into a comeback that is personal, powerful, and aligned.

In this episode I mark 500 conversations by pulling back the curtain on the most important lessons I’ve learned about integrity, humility, codependency, leadership, and evolving out loud. I share how studying the masters taught me to become one in my own life, how people pleasing quietly leaked into my business and lowered my standards, and why restoring integrity—again and again—is the foundation of peace, power, and exceptional relationships.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode I go straight at the truth most of us avoid: if you don’t decide who you are, someone else will decide for you. I unpack how people pleasing, codependency, and the fear of saying no quietly steal your dreams, your health, and your self respect, and how every external betrayal usually starts with an internal one. I challenge you to audit where you’re abandoning yourself, where you’re choosing belonging over authenticity, and where you’re consuming instead of creating.  If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your identity, stop living for approval, and finally build relationships that help you grow instead of shrink, this conversation will light a fire under you.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode I speak directly to anyone stuck in a manipulative or emotionally abusive relationship and wondering why leaving feels so impossible. I unpack how empathy, hope, and old attachment wounds can keep you bonded to chaos, and why compassion without boundaries turns into self-abandonment. This episode offers a clear, empowering truth: the moment you recognize where you’re still consenting to the dynamic, you regain the power to choose differently. If you’ve been doubting yourself, questioning your reality, or waiting for someone else to change, this is your invitation to reclaim your agency and become the safety you’ve been searching for.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode I share a deeply personal reflection on how a recent therapeutic psychedelic experience helped me untangle inner conflict, release resentment, and reconnect with a clearer sense of purpose. I unpack the realization that I was pouring energy into the wrong battles and how parts work revealed a more life giving path forward focused on presence, integration, and truth rather than reactivity. This episode explores identity, belonging, trauma, and technology and invites you to stop fighting yourself, reclaim your life force, and redirect it toward a life that actually feels grounded, meaningful, and whole.Resources:—More about Mike and his work here: https://mikezeller.com/ - Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode Mark sits down with acclaimed therapist and author of It Didn’t Start With You, Mark Wolynn, to unpack the shocking science and lived reality of inherited trauma. They dive into research showing how war and partner violence can leave epigenetic “fingerprints” across generations, and why so many high-functioning people still wake up with panic, loneliness, or a sense of not being safe, often without knowing why. Learn the powerful “worst fear” question that helps pinpoint whether you’re dealing with attachment trauma or inherited family trauma. This conversation offers a radically clear map for where the pain actually starts and how to finally resolve it.Mark Wolynn (accent on second syllable) is the director of the Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco. He is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma. His book It Didn’t Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle is the winner of the 2016 Nautilus Book Award in psychology, and has been translated into 17 languages.

In this episode I deliver a no-BS reminder that you’re not stuck, you’re actually choosing, and the moment you stop owning your choices is the moment you hand your life over to resentment, helplessness, and disconnection. I break down why radical responsibility is the gateway to real freedom (without denying grief, pain, or the ways you’ve been hurt), and why “pretending you don’t know” is one of the most self-destructive habits we normalize. This is your call to stop playing small, stop colluding with old identities and addictions, and start treating failure as feedback, not a final verdict.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode I take a hard look at our addiction to speed, noise, and constant consumption—and how it’s quietly pulling us out of our bodies, our relationships, and our lives. I unpack why silence feels so uncomfortable, how technology and blue light are reshaping our nervous systems, and why choosing slowness, reading, and presence has become a radical act. This is an invitation to stop outsourcing your awareness, reclaim your attention, and build a conscious relationship with technology that actually supports your humanity. If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or restless, this episode will call you back to what’s real, grounded, and life-giving.Resources:— Get the recording for my Reclaim Your Attention Webinar: www.markgroves.com/reclaim—Get 10% off a Daylight Computer https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/HARMONY— Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode I deliver a wake-up call for anyone who keeps delaying the changes they know they need to make—because the cost of avoidance always shows up as anxiety, addiction, and quiet self-betrayal. I unpack why so many of us wait until a crisis, rock bottom, or brush with mortality forces transformation, and how our unconscious wounds silently steer our choices until we start calling it “fate.” This episode is a direct challenge to stop negotiating with your potential, stop pretending you don’t know, and finally live in integrity—because the time isn’t “someday.” It’s now.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudio—Get My Book!

In this episode I share a raw, unexpected series of moments—that all converge on one unavoidable truth: life is fragile, and integrity can’t wait. I explore how incongruence slowly kills our aliveness, how the smallest compromises quietly accumulate, and why waiting for the “right time” is the most dangerous lie we tell ourselves. This is a direct, unfiltered invitation to stop negotiating with your future self, to reclaim your attention from the distractions anesthetizing your potential, and to live in alignment with what you already know is true. Because every choice you make is either life-affirming or life-draining, and one day, you won’t have the luxury of pretending otherwise.Sign up for my workshop: www.createthelove.com/reclaim Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode Mark sits down with author and journalist Monica Guzman for a deeply necessary conversation about curiosity, fear, and what it will actually take to heal our fractured culture. Together they unpack why difference feels so threatening in the body and how fear shuts out curiosity.  They explore how media, identity, and belonging quietly radicalize us, why talking about people instead of with them keeps us divided, and how simple human contact can dismantle stereotypes faster than any argument. This episode is a powerful invitation to examine your own assumptions, build the skills to stay present across difference, and reclaim conversation as a radical, humanizing act in a world addicted to outrage.Mónica Guzmán is author of “I Never Thought of it That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times”; founder and CEO of Reclaim Curiosity; advisor at Braver Angels; and host of A Braver Way podcast. Mónica serves on the Board of Directors for the The Viewpoints Project.

In this episode I share a revelation about our relationship with technology that completely reframes why your phone feels so overwhelming—and it has nothing to do with willpower or “addiction.” I unpack the unseen biological stress of living in constant social evaluation by algorithms, why simply having a phone on the table erodes presence and empathy, and how for the first time in human history a version of you exists at social risk 24/7. You'll learn what smartphones are really doing to our relationships — and why your nervous system feels it immediately…This episode will radically change how you understand your urge to check your phone, help you release shame, and empower you to create boundaries so technology serves your life instead of extracting from it.Resources:—Sign up for my Reclaim Your Attention Workshop here: https://go.markgroves.com/optin-page—How are your Nervous System + Attachment Style connected? https://markgroves.com/connectthedots-Get My Book!

In this solo episode, I drop in on what it really means to be powerful — not in the performative way we’ve been taught, but in the deeply embodied, self-honoring way that your soul has been nudging you toward. I talk about the invisible forces that keep us quiet, the fear of being seen, and the biology of why we stay stuck even when we know exactly what we need to do. Because let’s be honest: the gap between who we’re being and who we know we could be? That’s where all the suffering lives. And when we don’t live our truth, we numb, we scroll, we consume… anything to avoid the truth that we’re not doing what we know we should be doing. This episode is a wake-up call: an invitation to microdose change, to stop abandoning yourself in the small moments, and to start keeping the promises you make to yourself.

In this episode Mark sits down with Anjan Katta, the creator of the Daylight Computer, for a conversation that will completely shift how you see your relationship with technology. Together they unpack the hidden ways screens hijack your biology, through flicker rates, blue light, dopamine loops, and the silent extraction of your attention—and why most people don’t realize they’re being physiologically and psychologically overwhelmed until they hit burnout. Anjan shares the wild six-year journey of reinventing screen technology to honor the human nervous system, and Mark explores why reclaiming your attention has become a modern spiritual rebellion. This episode is a wake-up call about the cost of “processed light,” the rise of the analog revolution, and how healthier tech design could return sovereignty, presence, and actual choice back to our lives.Links: —Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daylightco/—Website: https://daylightcomputer.com/This episode is sponsored by: Institute for Integrative Nutrition: Certified Health Coach Training: Use code MARKGROVES20 for 20% off ALL courses from IIN & Chopra at http://bit.ly/MARKIIN —Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcast—Have a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?

In this episode I explore the uncomfortable but necessary work of becoming congruent with who you truly are—because the gap between your truth and your behavior is where anxiety, shame, and self-betrayal are born. I talk about the power of ritual in healing our personal and collective fractures, why we must rebuild community if we want to feel whole, and how honoring our own contradictions allows us to hold the contradictions of others. I dive into what happens to the body when we live out of alignment, why authenticity is the antidote to chronic stress, and how every misstep is an invitation to return to integrity. This episode is a call to stop abandoning yourself, reclaim coherence, and live a life that matches the truth you already feel in your bones.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode Mark welcomes relationship expert Thais Gibson to break down the six stages of relationships—from Dating and Honeymoon to Power Struggle, Rhythm, Devotion, and the Everlasting stage—and the exact rites of passage required to move through each. Together they expose why most couples stall (and split) in the power struggle, how to turn conflict into intimacy through vulnerability, needs-based communication, and trait integration, and why secure attachment isn’t a mystery—it’s a set of repeatable skills. You’ll learn how anxious partners can stop chasing, how avoidant partners can stop flaw-finding, and how both can build the habits that create a lasting “us.” If you’re ready to trade roller-coaster love for a relationship that’s rooted, resilient, and deeply satisfying, this conversation is your roadmap.Thais Gibson is the co-founder of The Personal Development School, a best-selling author, podcast host, Ph.D. recipient, and a leading expert in personal development and attachment trauma. With over 13 certifications in modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, and Somatic Experiencing, she spent nearly a decade in a high-demand client practice where a growing waitlist highlighted the need for more accessible tools for emotional healing. This inspired her to create The Personal Development School (“PDS”), which has since expanded into a global community of over 55,000 members across 145+ countries, supported by her extensive clinical experience and research.—Instagram: @thepersonaldevelopmentschool —Website: https://university.personaldevelopmentschool.com/ —This episode is sponsored by: Cozy Earth: Use code MARK for 40% off sitewide at http://www.cozyearth.com Avocado Green Mattress: www.avocadogreenmattress.com —Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcast—Have a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?

In this episode I talk about what it really means to outgrow who you’ve been - that moment when the identity that once felt safe starts to feel like a cage. I share about my own transition, how easy it is to get trapped in who people think you are, and how terrifying it can be to let that version of you die. But that death is where freedom begins. This conversation is an invitation to look at the titles, labels, and stories that have kept you comfortable yet disconnected, and to remember that you already have the wisdom to guide yourself forward. I explore how to reclaim your energy from distraction, use your past as a map for your evolution, and walk yourself out of the prison of certainty and into the aliveness of possibility.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode Mark sits down with Lacy Phillips, founder of To Be Magnetic and author of How to Manifest, for an inspiring conversation about how to bridge psychology, energy, and intentional living to create an authentic life. Lacy shares the truth about manifestation—why it’s not about blind optimism, but deep self-awareness and integration. Together they explore the role of technology in shaping our desires, the growing pull toward analog living, and how reclaiming sovereignty from collective conditioning leads to true empowerment. Lacy dives into how “tests from the universe” are actually invitations to embody our worth, and why following our intuitive pings is the key to living in alignment with our truest selves. Lacy Phillips is a global manifestation expert and the founder of To Be Magnetic—the #1manifestation brand rooted in neuroscience. Her revolutionary method combines psychology,neuroplasticity, and energetics to rewire limiting beliefs at the subconscious level.

In this episode Mark sits down with Dr. Richard Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), for a profound conversation about healing the parts of ourselves that carry pain, trauma, and protection. They dive into the power of “unburdening” — the process of releasing individual, ancestral, and collective wounds — and how doing so reconnects us to the self, the calm, compassionate center within us all. Dr. Schwartz breaks down the roles of our inner protectors, exiles, and firefighters, explaining how true healing happens when we stop exiling our pain and start listening to it with curiosity and love. Together, Mark and Richard explore how parts work bridges psychology and spirituality, why even our most destructive parts are rooted in protection, and how accessing the Self transforms not only our internal world but the collective one around us.Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, is the creator of Internal Family Systems, a highly effective, evidence-based therapeutic model that de-pathologizes the multi-part personality. His IFS Institute offers training for professionals and the general public. He is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, and has published five books, including No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model.Links: website: https://ifs-institute.com/ books: https://ifs-institute.com/store Pre-order the new book now Sponsors: Institute for Integrative Nutrition: Certified Health Coach Training: Use code MARKGROVES20 for 20% off ALL courses from IIN & Chopra at http://bit.ly/MARKIIN Avocado Green Mattress: www.avocadogreenmattress.com Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcastHave a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?

In this episode Mark sits down with psychotherapist and author Joe Nucci to unpack the rise of psychobabble—how social media has turned mental health into bite-sized buzzwords that distort the truth about healing, growth, and relationships. They dive deep into the myths that dominate online conversations—like “your feelings are always valid,” “everyone’s a narcissist,” and “everything is ADHD”—and explore how oversimplified self-diagnosis and viral therapy language can actually keep us stuck instead of setting us free. Together, they challenge the culture of self-labeling, discuss how nuance and personal accountability are essential for real mental wellness, and offer a refreshing, grounded perspective on what it really means to heal in today’s hyper-digital world.Joe Nucci, LPC, is a licensed psychotherapist, writer, and social media influencer. His content contextualizes mental health misinformation, pop-psychology facts and fallacies, and culturally misconstrued ideas. Joe’s work focuses on empowering individuals—whether or not they have abackground in psychology—so they can live a life with a greater sense of agency and self-awareness. Links: Instagram: @joenuccitherapy Website: www.joenuccitherapy.com This episode is sponsored by: Cozy Earth: Use code MARK for 40% off sitewide at http://www.cozyearth.com Avocado Green Mattress: www.avocadogreenmattress.com —Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcast—Have a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?

In this episode I dive into what happens when life completely falls apart—when everything you thought was certain suddenly isn’t, and you’re left wondering who you are and where to go next. I explore the beauty and pain of disorientation, those moments when everything feels dismantled but are actually guiding you back home to yourself. This isn’t about fixing or forcing your way through the chaos—it’s about learning to sit in the space between, trusting that what’s breaking down is making space for what’s real. I’ll walk you through how to reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve left behind, rebuild trust in your own voice, and remember that sometimes the falling apart is actually the becoming.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode I dive into the often-misunderstood process of forgiveness and letting go—what it truly takes, why it’s so elusive, and how to move beyond pain without abandoning yourself. I break down the traps that keep us stuck in resentment, the difference between oversharing and authentic vulnerability, and how grief and anger can become catalysts for growth rather than prisons of suffering. Through powerful insights, stories, and timeless wisdom, I explore how to transform wounds into wisdom, create closure without waiting for it, and trust that nothing meant for you will ever require you to betray who you are.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

In this episode I dive into the truth about authenticity—what it really means, why it’s so often compromised, and how the pull between belonging and self-expression shapes our lives.

In this episode, Mark sits down with author and thought leader Bethany Webster for a powerful deep dive into the “mother wound” and how it unconsciously shapes our sense of self, relationships, and capacity to thrive. Bethany breaks down the four levels of the mother wound, how family dynamics and cultural conditioning intertwine, and why so many of us carry invisible patterns of self-abandonment, guilt, or people-pleasing. Through her own story and years of teaching, she reveals how confronting and healing these wounds can liberate us from inherited beliefs, create healthier boundaries, and unlock greater authenticity in love, work, and life. This is an eye-opening conversation on breaking cycles, reclaiming sovereignty, and learning to mother ourselves with compassion and truth.Bethany Webster is considered a global expert on healing the Mother Wound. She is a writer, international speaker and transformational coach. Bethany started blogging in 2013 about the Mother Wound and quickly experienced worldwide demand for her work. Through blending research on intergenerational trauma, feminist theory, and psychology with her own personal story, Bethany's work is the result of decades of research and her own journey of healing. Bethany speaks, consults and mentors around the world sharing her growing body of work that is raising the standard of women’s leadership and personal development.Links: Website: www.bethanywebster.com Book: Discovering the Inner Mother: A Guide to Healing the Mother Wound and Claiming your Personal Power Online course: https://www.bethanywebster.com/healing-mother-wound-course/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themotherwound/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/healingthemotherwound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/innermother —Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcast—Have a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?

In this episode I pull back the curtain on our relationship with technology and reveal how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and even YouTube are reshaping our nervous systems, stealing our choices, and silently eroding the depth of our relationships. I break down the psychology of manipulation baked into algorithms, how dependency mirrors toxic relationship dynamics, and why our phones have become the most powerful—and most destructive—relationship in our lives. This isn’t just a critique of social media; it’s a wake-up call to reclaim your sovereignty, restore choice, and consciously design a healthier relationship with technology so you can fully show up for yourself, your purpose, and the people you loveResources:—Get My Book!
