Learn how you can harness the power of your mind to create the life you've always wanted! One of the most popular episodes of 2023 was with the great Dr Joe Dispenza, a New York Times best-selling author, teacher and lecturer whose research has led him to develop a practical formula to help people heal themselves and transform their lives. I believe his teachings are SO important and powerful, especially as we start this New Year, so I am bringing this episode back for our first Saturday Special. Dr Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics. He integrates that knowledge to teach people how to heal their bodies of health conditions, make significant changes in their lives, and evolve their consciousness. Dr Joe speaks to the power of the mind and how we can reframe our thoughts, beliefs, experiences, and feelings to change our reality.

#336: Let's Build Some Bridges Sometimes, we find ourselves burning bridges because we lack the skills or confidence to walk away or choose ourselves. It’s a form of self-sabotage, where we consciously or unconsciously avoid reaching out or following through on opportunities that could lead to personal growth. But what if we built bridges instead of burned them? We must embrace change and actively pursue personal growth. Trusting ourselves and accepting our truths is key to creating meaningful change. Let’s build some bridges. —Follow me on Instagram - @createthelove: https://www.instagram.com/createthelove —Subscribe to my Newsletter: https://mark-groves.mykajabi.com/newsletter —Subscribe to my Substack: https://markgroves.substack.com —Follow me on Facebook - @createthelove: https://www.facebook.com/createthelove —Get My New Book!

In this episode, I’m talking about the importance of TRULY showing up to create the life we really want. We can be very ambivalent when it comes to relationships with others, but that same ambivalence exists within us when our NO’s and YES’s don’t come from an embodied place, and leaks into other areas of our lives. Stop delaying what you’re becoming, create the abundance you seek, give birth to your purpose and passion, and step fully into the opportunity that 2024 can be. Let it be the moment that everything changed. Show up. You can do this. You’ve got this. —Follow me on Instagram - @createthelove: https://www.instagram.com/createthelove —Subscribe to my Newsletter: https://mark-groves.mykajabi.com/newsletter —Subscribe to my Substack: https://markgroves.substack.com —Follow me on Facebook - @createthelove: https://www.facebook.com/createthelove —Get My New Book!

In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing LMFT Figs O’Sullivan. In his practice, Figs focuses on three pillars for relationship work: Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, and Transformational Experiences. Figs teaches us that understanding that people's actions are driven by their own insecurities and fears is fundamental. Instead of fixating on the flaws of our partner/ex-partner, it's more beneficial to study one's own emotional responses and vulnerabilities and how to feel our feelings better. By becoming an expert on oneself and the system, one can be and attract a more emotionally evolved partner, and fight less! So many gems in this episode - dive in! Fiachra "Figs'' O'Sullivan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, certified in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the founder of Empathi. He strives to interact with his clients as fellow travelers on life’s journey, allowing them to easily dive deeper into their “stuff” with his down-to-earth philosophy. Figs has spent years working with frustrated couples at a crossroads in their relationship—they want to make things work but are stuck in what Figs calls their “Waltz of Pain”—which is what led him to create Empathi! Inspired by attachment theory, improvisational dance and theater, experiential psychotherapy, and EFT, Empathi provides fun, effective, and simple solutions to help couples stop fighting and snuggle more. —Website: https://empathi.com —Empathi Quiz for Couples: https://empathi.com/quiz/ —Empathi Courses: https://get.empathi.com/ —YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Empathinow —Media Page: https://empathi.com/figs-osullivan Themes: Relationships, Boundaries, Self-Worth, Self-Love, Codependency, Dating, Attachment Theory, Transformation, Conflict, Grief, Communication, Psychology 0:00:00 Intro 0:04:11 Who’s the problem in the relationship? 0:08:10 How communication can be threatening 0:11:30 Three Pillars for Relationship Work: Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, and Transformational Experiences 0:18:46 The reason people get together 0:28:21 Confronted with grief - now what? 0:28:55 Changing perspective 0:37:12 Importance of using attachment theory responsibly 0:40:14 Tips for a successful relationship 0:43:37 Counterintuitive concepts in self-development and attachment theory 0:48:12 The line between personal boundaries and relationship deal-breakers 0:54:21 Opening up about feelings and concerns 1:03:08 The Complexity of Attachment and Relationships 1:06:47 The Pain of Disappointing a Loved One 1:10:16 Helping People Feel Their Feelings Better 1:13:16 Becoming an Expert for Future Relationships This episode is sponsored by: —Open: Get 30 days free by visiting https://withopen.com/CREATETHELOVE —Organifi: Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off sitewide at http://www.organifi.com/createthelove Contact us at [email protected] for sponsor product support, questions, comments, or just to say hello!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I dive deep into the subject of commitment. Not just in the sense of committed romantic relationships—but the fear of commitment to ourselves and our truth, extrapolating it to every area of your life. Your fear to commit to a dream, to a possibility, to a relationship, to your purpose, to a goal—all of these are the same process. Understanding what lies at the base of our fears of commitment can allow us to become more committed people, more disciplined, and more discerning, and move forward and create things we never thought were possible but always desired. Sentence starters I share in this episode: —When I love people, they… —When I love people, I… —When I let people love me, they… —When I let people love me, I…Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

My work is about personal liberation. Through the vehicle of relationship… yes. But, really, through whatever challenges you are facing. That’s why I explore how we relate to food, our bodies, friends, family, animals, nature, earth, our addictions… and of course, ourselves. I’m here to explore consciousness, the universe, God, how to create epic health, and how to be the best partner, parent, child, and friend. I did not come to this earth to f*ck around and I sure as hell ain’t here to pretend I agree with sh*t I don’t agree with. And I refuse to participate in relationships that require the censorship of ourselves. My soul is loud, and I have been silent. Enough of that sh*t. If you’re ready to go deeper and learn how to master human connection, how to respectfully disagree, cultivate deeper intimacy through difference, nerd out on why we seem to sell our own sh*t out for belonging, why we throw our brains in the garbage when we’re afraid, why we’re so susceptible to propaganda, and why we’re willing to dehumanize, hurt, and even kill those who we disagree with or disagree with us... well, this is your place! I’m here to help support and guide people in their ability to utilize the challenges in their lives to liberate themselves from patterns they’re tired of, create a life and love they have always desired, and get paid to be themselves. The soul is calling. And I’m answering, are you? P.S. I am not advocating for the use of irresponsible language, disrespect or hate. I’m advocating for conversation, curiosity, the pursuit of truth, and the creation of love.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

#323: Sourcing Emotional and Physical Needs — Solo EP In this solo episode, I break down the behavioural patterns of minimizing our needs in relationship, which often stem from childhood experiences (you saw that one coming, right?!). It’s so important to honour our own needs and not settle for less. So let's cut the BS! Claim who you are, what you want, and what you’re going to create with your life. Be available to availability, set boundaries, tell the truth and clean up agreements. Hear your own voice and claim what you desire - free from needing the other person to change - then YOU are free to change and choose the life, love, and experience you want! To have the great love and great relationship you want - you MUST move forward telling the truth, creating NEW patterns, and reclaiming what you desire. You in?! P.S.

#321: Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself— Solo EP In this episode, I share my journey to embracing the change that has been seeking me, and embracing the unknown that I’ve been afraid of. For so many of us, we fear letting go of our familiar patterns, but also fear stepping into our fullest potential because we’re afraid of what might happen or what lies ahead. But stepping into the unknown IS the key to our personal libration. I’m ready to leap, and I’m not f’ing around anymore. So with that said, allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Mark Groves.
