Summary

In this solo episode, I dive into a transformative journey of self-exploration — sharing my recent experience of a guided session with MDMA and psilocybin, combined with internal family systems (IFS) parts work. This experience illuminated deep insights about the many parts within me — those seeking validation, safety, and creative expression — revealing how they shape my life, emotions, and decision-making. Through raw reflection, I explore the tension between my bold, unapologetic self and the version of me that fears judgment, uncovering the path to integration rather than suppression. From childhood wounds to the complexities of social media’s grip on identity, this episode unpacks the ways we can reconnect with our hearts, honor our inner worlds, and find peace in embracing all aspects of who we are.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast. So today I wanted to share with you

0:07.8

an email that I wrote to my newsletter that was about my journey, taking MDMA and psilocybin,

0:16.1

having a facilitated session where we did internal family systems parts work while I was on the medicine

0:22.3

and I can say that it was one of the most profound things that I've ever done. It was truly

0:50.0

you because i would imagine what you'll see is parts of me as parts of you.

1:21.8

There's like lines of privacy that I keep to my life because everyone needs that.

1:27.0

They need to hold something as sacred

1:28.7

for themselves and between them and me and my wife and my son and I. But I really wanted to share

1:34.4

this. And the subject of that email was that I lost my heart in my business. Before I read it,
