Summary

What a great conversation with Mark Groves. Mark is a human Connection Specialist, Speaker, Author, Coach, Podcast Host and founder of Create The Love. Born with an innate curiosity and a hunger for truth, Mark’s journey of self-discovery and personal liberation has led him to spend the last decade coaching and inspiring millions worldwide to create the life and love they desire. Through his candid but compassionate, no-BS guidance, Mark has helped empower countless individuals, teams, and companies to step into their most authentic, effective, loving selves, transform how they relate to themselves and others, and create profound changes in their lives and relationships. Mark and I discuss many topics, among them authenticity, attachment, people pleasing and codependency. We also talk about his personal journey from big Pharma to his realization that we need to look at the whole person in order to find our way to wellness and vitality. Mark is an awesome human and clearly in my soul tribe. Loved this convo! Enjoy. xoxo n.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain podcast with me, Nicole Sacks.
0:07.6	You are here.
0:13.3	Hello, my friends.
0:15.0	This is Nicole, and you have reached my podcast, The Cure for Chronic Pain.
0:18.5	Welcome to it.
0:20.2	Happy to be here with you guys today. I was just
0:23.9	re-listening to an awesome conversation I had with Mark Groves last year when we were leading up
0:32.7	to my book launch for Mind Your Body. And something he said really got me.

1:29.8	think and feel and the codependency which goes along with that, that we're not being as good
1:36.6	a mother, partner, child, co-worker, friend, then we should be being. And so it's really interesting.
1:45.5	I know one of the things that Mark and I discuss in this conversation is autoimmune disease,
1:50.0	and the fact that there's a huge correlation between autoimmune disease diagnoses and people who feel like they don't align with the way they're living their lives. And you know, this is
2:03.0	something that the research is evolving and I will always keep coming back to in these conversations
