The Mark Groves Podcast

Themes: Dating, Relationships, Narcissism, Red Flags, Gaslighting Summary: Our relationships and how happy we are within them has a powerful influence on our health, wellbeing and quality of life. In fact, in the Harvard Study of Adult Development which tracked the health of 268 sophomores over a period of 80 years, those who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80. Surprise, surprise: close relationships are what keep us going and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ or even genes. With that in mind, I wanted to interview relational alchemist Stefanos Sifandos on the important topic of narcissism so you can feel more empowered as you navigate dating and your relationships in general. This episode is a sneak peek into Week Four of my Dating 101 course, so if you're ready to dive into the deep work of relational awareness and set the stage for heart-led, fulfilling relationships, head to datingisdope.com now to sign up!

Themes: Psychology, Mass Formation, Groupthink, Belonging Summary: The psychology of individuals is interesting, and how individual psychology is influenced by groups, media, marketing and fear is an area I’m going to continue to explore. It’s like family systems but muchhhhh larger. And much more complex. Yet still simple in the narrow ways we respond when afraid — thanks to evolution and our amygdala. This is why I’M SO EXCITED that I got to interview Mattias Desmet! He is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University in Belgium with a masters degree in statistics. As an academic researcher, Mattias started to study the statistics presented around the current events in early 2020 and it became clear to him that the stats needed further exploration and discussion, as did how we were approaching it psychologically. Mattias joins me to share his expertise in a phenomenon known as "mass formation," a kind of collective hypnosis that occurs under certain societal conditions. WOW. What an incredible exploration that I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope this episode gives you deeper context for our current situation and makes you a feel less alone as you navigate today's climate. Discover: The psychological process of "mass formation" and how it relates to current events The four specific conditions in society that when fulfilled simultaneously, lead to groupthink The surprising reason people continue to buy into a consensus narrative The most efficient strategy you can adopt to help shift the narrative Links: Mattias Desmet's Research Sponsors: Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

Themes: Transformation, Awareness, Relationships, Breakups, Self Worth Summary: Today’s guest slid into my DM’s with a story of transformation so inspiring that I had to have her on to share her experience. Right before the pandemic, Diana Davis Dyer left her nine year relationship with her fiancé. With plans to be married in May 2020, she felt they were both individually functioning in darkness and that a "forever" like that was terrifying. Having never sat down to decide what kind of future and family she wanted, Diana felt so unsure of who she was and where she was going that a commitment so concrete scared her and prompted a life-changing decision to leave her relationship. After moving out and living with a friend for six months, Diana discovered my work and completed my seven day Relationship Starter Course (formerly Relationships 101) and in Diana's words, "It changed me. It let me RE-WRITE and RE-CREATE my narrative. In those days and the days after, I returned to love. And on his own, my partner did too. We came back together (with lots of work that is never-ending), got married in January 2021, and our love now is stronger, way more fun, deeper and brighter. While an immense bout of heartbreak and pain was inflicted on both of us during those 6 months, what came out of it was worth it. I wouldn't change leaving for a heartbeat, because it wouldn't have lead to this amazing love we now have." If you've struggled with a similar situation, aren't sure what you deserve or haven't sat down and thought about the love and the life you want, this episode is for you. I love for people to hear other’s stories of growth so we can see not only what’s possible for ourselves, but how to get there. I hope this episode plants a seed of hope or possibility and inspires you to keep going down the path of becoming all of who you are. Discover: Why Diana called off her engagement and the inner work she did to facilitate a reunion with her partner How to trust yourself, your innate wisdom and your journey The power of honouring your heart, choosing yourself and the self-worth that follows How painful experiences are necessary on our path to growth The importance of uncovering the narratives that run our lives to understand why we are the way we are and why we choose what we choose Links: Relationships Starter Course: A seven-day deep dive into a better understanding of relationships.

Shenouda is also the creator and founder of Phat Fudge, a high-performance food line of her own formulation. After almost two decades suffering from debilitating “mystery” illnesses that doctors seemed unable to explain and prescription drugs failed to solve, Mary took matters into her own hands.

Themes: Death, Breakups, Relationships, Boundaries, Learning to Let Go, Self-Reflection, Relational Endings Death. Learning to let go. It’s easier said than done. You didn’t fight hard enough for this relationship. These are words and phrases that haunt us when we shift towards a new phase of our lives, whether it’s professionally, romantically or both. When we find ourselves at the end of a relationship we often feel that we need to fight so we can preserve the relationship. We feel that we need to give that extra push to preserve the love that once was. But what if...the best way to fight for the relationship is to let it go? What if...the best way to honour each other is to honour yourselves first? When we find ourselves at these crossroads where do we go? What do we need to do to move on and grow? Discover: How we mistake letting go with giving up. Letting go of people, behaviours, patterns that are not in alignment is a superpower. Relationships are a potent invitation to your expansion and growth. We’re not honouring our worth when we don’t show up. Love is meant to teach us, to prepare us for connection that is within our highest alignment.

Head here to find Dr. Mariel Buqué's work and learn about the the Soul Healing Collective –a community space she created for people to heal together, as she believes in the liberation of both our minds and of oppressive systems as necessary qualities of our collective wellness.

In this episode join me on my hike as I share my thoughts on the false sense of separation we have with the Earth, the disconnection we have with ourselves, and our worth. The truth is hidden in plain sight, and we can all find it by being present, turning inward and taking radical responsibility for our self worth. We can’t wait for people to choose us. Otherwise we’ll always be waiting, because nobody wants the responsibility of our self worth. We model the love we want by the type of love we give. Make yours unconditional. ~ Discover: Asking the questions: What are you ignoring? What does your body need? What does your soul crave? Why we get stuck in co-dependency and wrapped up in our wounds Boundaries are guide-posts to love and trust Why a baseline for grace, kindness, trust and respect is vital Expansion is hidden inside the frustrations and challenges Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

When you don't stand in the truth of what, you're not going to get what you want - pretty simple right? Whether or not we decide to talk about our truth, it will always still live inside you. Not honouring our truth leads to small betrayals, which usually become giant betrayals later on and typically we can look back and see where we betrayed ourselves initially in order to get there. This week I share a personal story from my past where I self abandoned and didn't declare what I really wanted. The truth always sets us free, no matter how difficult it can be to say it. ~ Discover: Why do we fear stepping into our truth? The dangers of staying in the comfort zone Why we self-betray and self-abandon in effort to keep connection Why we need to explore grief The two most important questions you need to ask yourself Small betrayals become giant betrayals later Where do you betray yourself?
