Summary

In this solo episode, I dive deep into the idea that you’re not stuck—you’re afraid. I explore how fear, comfort, and unconscious loyalty to old stories keep us from stepping into our full potential. I read my viral Substack article aloud and riff on why real growth feels risky, how we sacrifice truth for belonging, and what it really means to live in integrity with your values. This is a call to stop fixing yourself and start becoming—because your freedom lives in choosing you.

Hey, hey, Los Angeles. I am coming to do a live event in Santa Monica on April 24th in the evening.

0:08.5

I'm so excited to get to hang out with you again.

0:11.5

If you want to get your tickets, they are priced to sell out.

0:14.0

You can go to markgroves.com slash Los Angeles and go get them now.

0:19.0

And I can't wait to see you there.

0:20.4

We're going to hang out for an evening of intimate conversation live coaching all that jazz looking forward to it hello and welcome to another solo episode of the podcast for those of you who don't know me my name is Mark Groves and I'm obsessed with understanding ourselves, with understanding

0:40.2

what does it mean to be in this world and how do we use our relationships and the frictions

0:47.4

we have in our lives to become our highest self, to step into our greatest potential. And it is my

0:54.1

belief that the curriculum of our

0:55.9

life is in service of that. Should we agree to that? Should we say, okay, I'm going to use all of

1:08.2

that I can't become something or can't create something,

1:11.5

I'm going to actually use them as the curriculum to create that thing. So if you had a family

1:17.2

that didn't feel great, then that means you could either never create a family and live in the

1:21.9

pain of that, or you could create a family because you know what you don't want, which means

1:26.3

you know what you do want.

1:34.4

And so this podcast, I've been really feeling called to do more solo episodes and to dive more deeply into what I see as the translation of what goes on beyond the veil into what is

1:40.8

occurring in our lives, to try to put words to something that seemingly is impossible

1:46.3

to put words to. But hey, I'm going to, I'm going to do my damnedest. And it's always my greatest

1:53.2

intention to continue to follow my intuitive pull. So I'm feeling this call to have less guests on

1:59.1

and to have more conversations with you.

2:01.8

And that feels really important that I just get to riff.
