EP 259: MARK GROVES: How to be AUTHENTIC in LOVE + LIFE.

MARK GROVES is a Human Connection Specialist, founder of Create the Love, and host of the Mark Groves Podcast. Mark’s work bridges the academic and the human, inviting people to explore the good, the bad, the downright ugly, and the beautiful sides of connection. He is the real thing, as in authentically who he is. And you will feel it in this talk.  There are no shallow conversations here, this episode dives right into the deep end with potent emotional exploration + vulnerability that will accelerate your path to becoming the highest version of yourSelf. In this conversation, we talk about: How the authentic Self is often masked from early experiences of learning how to love, be loved, and belong What anxiety + depression are trying to tell us about our SELF-EXPRESSION and how to use those signs to uncover vital insights within us How to identify our authentic core values + discern which ones have been adopted from others The correlation between social media and unhealthy relationships  How to reclaim your autonomy that is lost from departing your authentic self The power of respect in romantic partnerships + the loving response to loss What it looks like to source power from a victim mindset vs. a growth mindset Mark’s new book: Preorder Mark's new book, Liberated Love, here!
