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!

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.

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/storePre-order the new book nowSponsors: Institute for Integrative Nutrition: Certified Health Coach Training: Use code MARKGROVES20 for 20% off ALL courses from IIN & Chopra at http://bit.ly/MARKIINAvocado Green Mattress: www.avocadogreenmattress.comHave 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: @joenuccitherapyWebsite: www.joenuccitherapy.comThis episode is sponsored by:Cozy Earth: Use code MARK for 40% off sitewide at http://www.cozyearth.comAvocado 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. I unpack the ways codependency and people-pleasing keep us wearing masks, the cultural and relational pressures that silence our voices, and the cost of abandoning ourselves for acceptance. Through stories, research, and practical insights, I invite you to explore where you’ve been prioritizing connection over truth, and how to begin reintroducing yourself to the world with courage, boundaries, and authenticity that’s rooted in choice, not fear.Resources:—Get My Book!

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.comBook: Discovering the Inner Mother: A Guide to Healing the Mother Wound and Claiming your Personal PowerOnline course: https://www.bethanywebster.com/healing-mother-wound-course/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themotherwound/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/healingthemotherwoundFacebook 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!

In this episode, Mark sits down with legendary FBI hostage negotiator and Never Split the Difference author Chris Voss to unpack the art of communication that can transform every relationship. From tactical empathy to the neuroscience of feeling understood, Chris reveals how the same skills that save lives in crisis can deepen connection, defuse conflict, and build lasting trust in love. They explore why compromise often erodes intimacy, how self-talk shapes our relational patterns, and what it really takes to be heard. This episode is a masterclass in emotional intelligence, communication, and relational mastery—don’t miss it.Chris Voss, known as “The Master Negotiator,” earned his title as the former lead international kidnapping negotiator and head of crisis negotiation for the FBI’s New York City Division. With decades of high-stakes experience, he helped shape the negotiation tactics still used by the FBI today. After retiring, he taught business negotiation at USC, Georgetown, and Harvard, then founded The Black Swan Group to bring these powerful techniques to the corporate world. His best-selling book, Never Split the Difference, reveals how hostage negotiation principles can transform everyday communication, influence, and deal-making.Links:Website: https://www.blackswanltd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefbinegotiator/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BlackSwanLTD/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NegotiationMasteryBook: Never Split The Difference: Negotiation As If Your Life Depended On ItThis episode is sponsored by:Cozy Earth: Use code MARK for 40% off sitewide at http://www.cozyearth.comAvocado Green Mattress: www.avocadogreenmattress.comGet an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeff Tarrant—neuroscientist, licensed psychologist, and author of Becoming Psychic—to exploretelepathic communication and the science behind it. We dive into his groundbreaking research on psychics, mediums, and brainwave patterns associated with non-ordinary states of consciousness, revealing how the mind may be far more interconnected than we’ve been taught. Dr. Tarrant shares insights from The Telepathy Tapes project, offering compelling evidence that our brains may be wired for intuitive and psi-based abilities. If you’ve ever wondered whether telepathy is real—or if you might be more intuitive than you think—this conversation will stretch your perspective and awaken new possibilities.Dr. Jeff Tarrant is a pioneering neuroscientist, licensed psychologist, and leading expert in consciousness research, specializing in the intersection of meditation, brainwave technology, and intuitive abilities.

In this episode, I reflect on my evolving relationship with the word “God” and the journey that brought me back to faith—not religion, but a felt sense of trust in something greater. I share how childhood shame, religious conditioning, and the fear of desire fractured my connection to divinity, and how heartbreak, grief, and the search for meaning helped me begin to rebuild it. This is an invitation to rethink where you've placed your value, why you've hesitated to leap, and how reclaiming your faith—whatever that means to you—might be the missing link between who you are and who you're becomingResources:—Learn the connection between Attachment Styles, how it affects the Nervous System, AND how you can heal it: .https://go.markgroves.com/nervous-system-opt-in-podcast —Get My New Book!
