The Mark Groves Podcast

In this episode I dive into how the beliefs you hold about the world quietly shape your entire life. I explore the idea that if you don’t consciously choose how you see the world, you’ll end up living inside limits someone else programmed into you. I talk about what it means to believe life is working for you rather than against you, how even painful experiences become curriculum when you choose growth, and why accepting where you are is the foundation for creating something different. This is a call to question the systems, stories, and expectations that have defined who you think you’re supposed to be and to start trusting the voice inside you that knows there’s more available for your life.

In this episode Mark sits down with Andy Mant, founder of Bon Charge, to explore how the modern world is quietly hijacking our biology through light. We talk about how artificial lighting, screens, and constant stimulation are disrupting our circadian rhythms, driving stress, poor sleep, and metabolic dysfunction and why something as simple as getting morning sunlight and managing blue light at night can radically shift your energy and health. This conversation is a deep dive into how our environment shapes our nervous system and how reclaiming your relationship with light might be one of the most powerful and overlooked ways to change your life.

Andy Mant is a global leader in the wellness technology industry, known for building BON CHARGE into a multimillion-dollar direct-to-consumer brand focused on red light therapy, PEMF, circadian lighting and other cutting edge wellness technology targeting longevity. With a personal and professional journey deeply rooted in performance optimisation, mitochondrial health, and innovation, Andy brings easy to understand science- backed insights and no-BS truth to every interview.

In this episode I dismantle the prison of regret, resentment, and anger and show you how those very emotions can become the fuel for your greatest transformation. I unpack the paradox of regret, why your past can educate you without defining you, and how to channel heartbreak, betrayal, and disappointment into a comeback that is personal, powerful, and aligned.

In this episode I mark 500 conversations by pulling back the curtain on the most important lessons I’ve learned about integrity, humility, codependency, leadership, and evolving out loud. I share how studying the masters taught me to become one in my own life, how people pleasing quietly leaked into my business and lowered my standards, and why restoring integrity—again and again—is the foundation of peace, power, and exceptional relationships.

In this episode I go straight at the truth most of us avoid: if you don’t decide who you are, someone else will decide for you. I unpack how people pleasing, codependency, and the fear of saying no quietly steal your dreams, your health, and your self respect, and how every external betrayal usually starts with an internal one. I challenge you to audit where you’re abandoning yourself, where you’re choosing belonging over authenticity, and where you’re consuming instead of creating.  If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your identity, stop living for approval, and finally build relationships that help you grow instead of shrink, this conversation will light a fire under you.

In this episode I speak directly to anyone stuck in a manipulative or emotionally abusive relationship and wondering why leaving feels so impossible. I unpack how empathy, hope, and old attachment wounds can keep you bonded to chaos, and why compassion without boundaries turns into self-abandonment. This episode offers a clear, empowering truth: the moment you recognize where you’re still consenting to the dynamic, you regain the power to choose differently. If you’ve been doubting yourself, questioning your reality, or waiting for someone else to change, this is your invitation to reclaim your agency and become the safety you’ve been searching for.

In this episode I share a deeply personal reflection on how a recent therapeutic psychedelic experience helped me untangle inner conflict, release resentment, and reconnect with a clearer sense of purpose. I unpack the realization that I was pouring energy into the wrong battles and how parts work revealed a more life giving path forward focused on presence, integration, and truth rather than reactivity. This episode explores identity, belonging, trauma, and technology and invites you to stop fighting yourself, reclaim your life force, and redirect it toward a life that actually feels grounded, meaningful, and whole.

In this episode Mark sits down with acclaimed therapist and author of It Didn’t Start With You, Mark Wolynn, to unpack the shocking science and lived reality of inherited trauma. They dive into research showing how war and partner violence can leave epigenetic “fingerprints” across generations, and why so many high-functioning people still wake up with panic, loneliness, or a sense of not being safe, often without knowing why. Learn the powerful “worst fear” question that helps pinpoint whether you’re dealing with attachment trauma or inherited family trauma. This conversation offers a radically clear map for where the pain actually starts and how to finally resolve it.

Mark Wolynn (accent on second syllable) is the director of the Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco. He is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma. His book It Didn’t Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle is the winner of the 2016 Nautilus Book Award in psychology, and has been translated into 17 languages. His articles have appeared in Psychology Today, Mind Body Green, MariaShriver.com, Elephant Journal and Psych Central, and his poetry has been published in The New Yorker.

In this episode I deliver a no-BS reminder that you’re not stuck, you’re actually choosing, and the moment you stop owning your choices is the moment you hand your life over to resentment, helplessness, and disconnection. I break down why radical responsibility is the gateway to real freedom (without denying grief, pain, or the ways you’ve been hurt), and why “pretending you don’t know” is one of the most self-destructive habits we normalize. This is your call to stop playing small, stop colluding with old identities and addictions, and start treating failure as feedback, not a final verdict.

In this episode I take a hard look at our addiction to speed, noise, and constant consumption—and how it’s quietly pulling us out of our bodies, our relationships, and our lives. I unpack why silence feels so uncomfortable, how technology and blue light are reshaping our nervous systems, and why choosing slowness, reading, and presence has become a radical act. This is an invitation to stop outsourcing your awareness, reclaim your attention, and build a conscious relationship with technology that actually supports your humanity. If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or restless, this episode will call you back to what’s real, grounded, and life-giving.
