• #489: Microdosing Change: How Small Choices Can Shift Your Entire Life

  In this solo episode, I drop in on what it really means to be powerful — not in the performative way we’ve been taught, but in the deeply embodied, self-honoring way that your soul has been nudging you toward. I talk about the invisible forces that keep us quiet, the fear of being seen, and the biology of why we stay stuck even when we know exactly what we need to do. Because let’s be honest: the gap between who we’re being and who we know we could be? That’s where all the suffering lives. And when we don’t live our truth, we numb, we scroll, we consume… anything to avoid the truth that we’re not doing what we know we should be doing. This episode is a wake-up call: an invitation to microdose change, to stop abandoning yourself in the small moments, and to start keeping the promises you make to yourself.

• #488: The Invisible Thing That’s Wearing You Out: Anjan Katta

  In this episode Mark sits down with Anjan Katta, the creator of the Daylight Computer, for a conversation that will completely shift how you see your relationship with technology. Together they unpack the hidden ways screens hijack your biology, through flicker rates, blue light, dopamine loops, and the silent extraction of your attention—and why most people don’t realize they’re being physiologically and psychologically overwhelmed until they hit burnout. Anjan shares the wild six-year journey of reinventing screen technology to honor the human nervous system, and Mark explores why reclaiming your attention has become a modern spiritual rebellion. This episode is a wake-up call about the cost of “processed light,” the rise of the analog revolution, and how healthier tech design could return sovereignty, presence, and actual choice back to our lives.Links: —Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daylightco/—Website: https://daylightcomputer.com/This episode is sponsored by:Institute for Integrative Nutrition: Certified Health Coach Training: Use code MARKGROVES20 for 20% off ALL courses from IIN & Chopra at http://bit.ly/MARKIIN—Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcast—Have a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?

• #487: The Power of Ritual & Congruence

  In this episode I explore the uncomfortable but necessary work of becoming congruent with who you truly are—because the gap between your truth and your behavior is where anxiety, shame, and self-betrayal are born. I talk about the power of ritual in healing our personal and collective fractures, why we must rebuild community if we want to feel whole, and how honoring our own contradictions allows us to hold the contradictions of others. I dive into what happens to the body when we live out of alignment, why authenticity is the antidote to chronic stress, and how every misstep is an invitation to return to integrity. This episode is a call to stop abandoning yourself, reclaim coherence, and live a life that matches the truth you already feel in your bones.Resources:—Get My Breakup 5 Day Audio Series and Workbook: www.createthelove.com/breakupaudioGet My Book!

• #486: The 6 Stages Of Relationships: Thais Gibson

  In this episode Mark welcomes relationship expert Thais Gibson to break down the six stages of relationships—from Dating and Honeymoon to Power Struggle, Rhythm, Devotion, and the Everlasting stage—and the exact rites of passage required to move through each. Together they expose why most couples stall (and split) in the power struggle, how to turn conflict into intimacy through vulnerability, needs-based communication, and trait integration, and why secure attachment isn’t a mystery—it’s a set of repeatable skills. You’ll learn how anxious partners can stop chasing, how avoidant partners can stop flaw-finding, and how both can build the habits that create a lasting “us.” If you’re ready to trade roller-coaster love for a relationship that’s rooted, resilient, and deeply satisfying, this conversation is your roadmap.Thais Gibson is the co-founder of The Personal Development School, a best-selling author, podcast host, Ph.D. recipient, and a leading expert in personal development and attachment trauma. With over 13 certifications in modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, and Somatic Experiencing, she spent nearly a decade in a high-demand client practice where a growing waitlist highlighted the need for more accessible tools for emotional healing. This inspired her to create The Personal Development School (“PDS”), which has since expanded into a global community of over 55,000 members across 145+ countries, supported by her extensive clinical experience and research.—Instagram: @thepersonaldevelopmentschool —Website: https://university.personaldevelopmentschool.com/ —This episode is sponsored by:Cozy Earth: Use code MARK for 40% off sitewide at http://www.cozyearth.comAvocado Green Mattress: www.avocadogreenmattress.com—Have a question For Mark to answer on the podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/TheMarkGrovesPodcast—Have a question for Mark and want an immediate answer?
