Summary

In this episode I dive deep into the messy, beautiful reality of being human—our wounds, our patterns, and the radical responsibility it takes to break free from them. I share candid reflections on my own past mistakes, the lessons my father taught me about curiosity over shame, and how unresolved pain shapes the way we love, live, and even scroll. From betrayal and self-abandonment to the distractions of technology and the power of true presence, this conversation is a call to reclaim your sovereignty, rewrite your story, and create relationships and communities rooted in integrity and compassion. This is not just about listening—it’s about seeing yourself, healing, and stepping into a more powerful way of being. Resources: —Ready to transform your relationships?

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.
0:04.5	This is a solo episode coming at you, microphone only, no video.
0:10.6	I've really been feeling this call to sort of like retreat back from the masses to go deeper and deeper within myself and then really continue to develop a more,
0:25.1	I want to say, like intimate friendship and relationship with you.
0:31.4	I feel like this podcast has been along so much of my journey, you know, from 2018, I think, when the first episode came
0:39.8	out to going through breakups, talking about that really, very publicly. And really my
0:46.8	exploration of what happened during COVID and how community works and how fear works and how propaganda works and really
0:56.1	there's been sort of a living out loud a transformation out loud and I'm happy to do
1:03.6	that you know I'm I'm happy to be able to look back historically and be proud of a
1:09.6	lot of things they say or stand for
1:12.6	and some things that I'm like, well, I could have done that better.

1:31.6	of who we are, even in our most shadow expression, even in the hardest moments in our life.
1:38.8	Because you have to think that even the person within you who maybe manipulated someone's behavior or lied
1:46.1	or cheated or drank too much or didn't say this right or whatever it might be.
1:54.5	If you can't have gentle curiosity for what creates those circumstances within your own being,
2:02.5	then you sure as hell won't have any forgiveness or compassion for someone else who might
2:07.0	behave a similar way.
2:09.4	If anything, we will resist more fully the behavior of your of others that we have not fully
