    #409: Never Enough: Unpacking The Father Wound
    Sep 19 2024
    Our relationships often carry the imprints of our childhood, especially when it comes to the complex and generally unspoken father wound. In this first episode of a four-part series, I dive deep into how early experiences with our father figures — whether through absence, emotional distance, or even subtle disconnection — shape our adult relationships in powerful ways. We explore how these wounds manifest in patterns like seeking unavailable partners, feeling inadequate, or grappling with the fear of never being enough. By understanding these dynamics and the relational cycles they create, we can begin to shift from a place of pain toward healing and deeper connection.

  • #408: Can We Have Different Beliefs and Still Be Friends? with William Reusch

    #408: Can We Have Different Beliefs and Still Be Friends? with William Reusch
    Sep 16 2024
    Critical thinking is an essential skill in today's divided world and in this conversation with educator and podcaster, Will Reusch, we explore why it's more important than ever. Will shares insights from his years of teaching – discussing the challenges of encouraging students to think critically about complex topics instead of passively accepting dominant narratives. We dive into controversial subjects like left-right dynamics, Trans rights, and the role of social media in shaping perspectives – highlighting how echo chambers and ideological capture fracture communities. Will's mission to create safe spaces for open dialogue and his upcoming initiative, Patterdox, are central to fostering curiosity and empathy in our increasingly polarized society. William Reusch has taught high school social studies in Los Angeles for nearly two decades in several schools that served very diverse populations. He is a University of Austin Mill Institute Teacher Fellow, has worked with organizations like Heterodox Academy, FAIR (Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism), Civic Spirit, and others in his pursuit to bring critical thinking to the world of K-12 & high school education. He is the host of the Cylinder Radio podcast and has expanded his educational reach to utilize social media as a way to promote viewpoint diversity and intellectual inquiry. William is now the founder and lead teacher of the educational platform Patterdox to serve homeschool communities as well as offer supplemental education for all teenagers in the area of social science. —Will’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willreusch —Will’s Website: https://williamreusch.com/ —Patterdox: https://patterdox.com/ —Will’s Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cylinder-radio/id1448662116 Resources From The Episode: —Julia Malott Podcast Episode: Transgender Politics and Gender Dysphoria: https://markgroves.com/episode/transgender-politics-and-gender-dysphoria-with-julia-malott/ —Harville and Helen's Podcast Episode: The Couple Who Changed How I Relate: Lessons from the Godparents of Love: https://markgroves.com/episode/the-couple-who-changed-how-i-relate-lessons-from-the-godparents-of-love/ —Harville and Helen's Book: Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples: https://amzn.to/4bPqOuK —Michael Easter Podcast Episodes: From Scarcity to Intentionality: https://markgroves.com/episode/from-scarcity-to-intentionality-with-michael-easter/ & Why We Need Discomfort To Thrive: https://markgroves.com/episode/why-we-need-discomfort-to-thrive-with-michael-easter/ If you want to dive deeper into Mark’s content, search through every episode, find specific topics we’ve covered, and ask him questions, go to his Dexa page: https://dexa.ai/markgroves Themes: Critical Thinking Skills, Will Reusch Podcast, Viewpoint Diversity, Education Reform 2024, Overcoming Political Divides, Left vs Right Debate, Breaking Echo Chambers, Ideological Capture Explained, Open Dialogue in Education, Fostering Curiosity in Students, Social Media Echo Chambers, Political Polarization Solutions, Free Speech in Classrooms, Empathy in Education, Imago Dialogue Model, Patterdox Critical Thinking, Bridging Political Differences, Thought-Provoking Conversations, How to Encourage Critical Thinking This episode is sponsored by: —BON CHARGE: Use code MARKGROVES to save 15% at http://boncharge.com/MARKGROVES —Organifi: Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off sitewide at http://www.organifi.com/createthelove Contact us at podcast@markgroves.com for sponsor product support, questions, comments, or just to say hello!

    #407: How to Navigate Transitions: From Fear to Freedom
    Sep 12 2024
    Explore the profound challenges of personal transformation and the unpredictable nature of growth as I reflect on my own journey of change. From navigating transitions like ending relationships or feeling stuck in a career, to confronting fears, insecurities, and imposter syndrome, this episode invites you to shift your mindset from seeking fixed outcomes to embracing uncertainty. I share powerful insights on authenticity, self-expression, and how our gifts are meant to serve others, culminating in a discussion on the importance of truth and vulnerability in a world of societal pressures and self-censorship.

My 8 year old

I listen to Mark groove on my car ride. My car doesn’t have a way for me to give him 5 stars with the Tesla app. I pretty much listen to him everywhere I go whether it’s on Apple phone, Instagram or mined. Now my 8 year old says, “is the Mark”. Love him and how he owes who he js. Thx uu💝🙏

Excellent Person and Advice

I found Mark as I was going through my breakup with my long term girlfriend. A LOT of what he said resonated with me and helped me make sense of what I feeling. My ex girlfriend even listened to him as well. He has really been a key to unlocking a lot of personal growth for me and I am so grateful for that ❤️
