The Mark Groves Podcast

• #455 Becoming the Curator of Your Mind

  In this episode, I share a raw and reflective recording from a recent membership call where I explore what it means to truly surrender when life isn’t going the way we planned. I open up about personal struggles—from a home renovation disaster to deeper emotional reckonings—and unpack how resistance to reality often fuels our suffering. We dive into the complexities of relational dynamics, victimhood, shadow work, and the paradox of healing. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or at war with your own experience, this episode invites you to return to presence, self-honesty, and the power of simply “chopping wood and carrying water.” It’s vulnerable, unfiltered, and an invitation to meet yourself exactly where you are.Resources:—Learn the connection between Attachment Styles, how it affects the Nervous System, AND how you can heal it: https://go.markgroves.com/nervous-system-opt-in-podcast —Join My Online Community: http://markgroves.com/community    —Get My New Book!

  In this episode, Mark Groves dives deep into the intersection of health, personal sovereignty, and systemic deception with Brian Sanders, founder of the Sapien Center and creator of the "Food Lies" documentary series.

With compelling anecdotes, sharp insights, and a powerful call to reclaim individual agency, this conversation is a radical invitation to question everything and live more intentionally, rooted in what it truly means to be human.Brian Sanders is the filmmaker behind the Food Lies documentary, host of the top 5 nutrition podcast Peak Human, and an international speaker.
