In this powerful episode of the Mark Groves Podcast, Mark Groves welcomes back Wellness + Wisdom host Josh Trent for a raw, heartfelt conversation on healing, fatherhood, and finding purpose through pain.

Josh opens up about the past three years of transformation, and how becoming a father challenged him to confront childhood wounds, addiction, and patterns of abandonment.

Together, they explore the emotional layers of self-abandonment, the power of nervous system regulation, and how community and presence can pull us through life’s hardest seasons.

This episode isn’t just about personal growth, it’s about spiritual and emotional rebirth. It’s about breaking free from generational pain, reclaiming your truth, and learning how to show up for yourself and the people you love.

If you’re in a season of change (or seeking one) this conversation will land deep.
