Reclaiming the Self: Uncovering the Link Between Love, Money, and Abundance
In this podcast episode, Mark Groves announces an upcoming event focused on the relationship between love and money. He emphasizes that people often feel they have to choose between abundance in one area or the other, but the workshop aims to show that it is possible to have it all. The event will explore how blocks in one area can limit success in the other, and will provide strategies for breaking through these limits. Effective communication, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-worth will be discussed as ways to enhance both love life and overall richness. The workshop will include interactive exercises and personalized guidance from Mark Groves and Selena Gray, a financial empowerment coach and CPA.
From Survival to Authenticity: Sarah Kuburic's Journey of Self-Discovery
In another podcast episode, Mark Groves interviews Sarah Kuburic, the millennial therapist, who shares her personal journey of self-discovery and transformation. Raised in a war-torn country, Sarah experienced a sense of self-loss and survival from an early age. She discusses how her childhood experiences shaped her mindset of survival rather than self-awareness. Sarah shares her realization that she was living an inauthentic life, making decisions based on external approval rather than her own needs and desires. A major turning point for her was a panic attack, which prompted her to deconstruct and rebuild her sense of self. Sarah emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's own happiness and healing, and highlights the empowering nature of embracing one's authenticity.
Understanding Self-Loss and the Path to Rediscovering the Self
Sarah Kuburic explores the concept of self-loss and the journey of self-discovery. She explains that self-loss is a state of inauthenticity, where one lacks congruence, resonance, and alignment in their life. Sarah emphasizes that the process of rediscovering the self is not a passive one, but requires active engagement and responsibility. She encourages individuals to embrace the trial and error process of self-discovery, allowing themselves to explore different aspects of their identity. Sarah highlights the importance of developing awareness of one's emotions, body, and mind, and how each component contributes to the creation of the self. She also discusses the significance of taking intentional actions aligned with one's values and desires.
The Transformative Power of Responsibility and Freedom in Creating the Self
Sarah Kuburic delves into the transformative power of responsibility and freedom in the process of self-creation. She challenges the notion of simply "finding oneself," stating that the self is not a pre-determined entity, but rather something that is actively and continuously created. Sarah emphasizes that taking responsibility for one's choices, cultivating a sense of freedom, and aligning actions with values are essential in creating an authentic and empowered self. She highlights the importance of self-acceptance, self-respect, and self-love as crucial steps in the journey of self-creation. Sarah encourages individuals to view self-creation as an ongoing process and to embrace the possibilities and growth that come with it.
