#074: To Stay Or Go - Solo Episode

What happens when you wake up and realize you aren’t happy in your relationship? What if you feel like you’re outgrowing your partner? What if you’re outgrowing your old life? As we go deeper in our journey toward our inner truth we often find that our old patterns, habits and relationships need to shift. This can bring up a lot of anxiety and tension especially if we have had codependent patterns. Part of our healing is learning how to honour our growth while navigating our relationship with others. Part of our healing is leaning into the discomfort and uncertainty that comes up when we let our relationships shift, change and maybe even end.~Discover: Emotion is the currency of the future The success of your life will be determined by the quality of your relationships What does it mean to be a real man? How do you stay when enough is enough? Are you willing to dismantle your identity? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#072: Hurt People, Hurt People - Solo Episode

We have all been treated badly to some extent—by our parents, our partners, our exes, our old friends, by the narcissists of the world. But once we’ve identified where we’ve been victimized, our job is to step beyond being a victim of the world and reclaim our power. Our work is to look within and enquire into what it is within us that allows painful dynamics to continue in our lives. What is it that stops us from setting boundaries, from saying ‘no’ to things that make us feel unloved, from claiming our right to be fully worthy? This week we explore all aspects of waking up to our worth and importantly how healed people heal people.~Discover: The disease of unworthiness Looking for worthiness is a moving target Why we need to turn towards our pain Truthful answers require us to become someone else The connection between boundaries and worth Resentment is a sign you need to choose yourself Why are we a match to poor behavior? Why do we make excuses? Are you the match for what you want? What you attract is what you need need to learn What are you afraid to find in the space of silence? What unrealized potential are you not stepping into? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#070: All About You - What Do You Really Want? - Solo Episode

In the new "All About You" series, I am reading your letters and diving deep into tough questions from you about your relationships, love, and what you really want from life. To begin I touch on my current journey—how I am learning to let go of the future I thought I would have and give space to the new and unknown in my life. I then cover some challenging and common situations that you have written to me about: the ex that promises to change, the new partner that is still seeing their ex, the partner that works too much, and not feeling the same about marriage and kids as our partner. I so appreciate the opportunity to know what is on your heart and I thank you for sharing this with me and everyone who will benefit from hearing your story. I'm really excited about this new format, so please share with me your thoughts and feelings on how this resonated for you. If you have a letter for a podcast you can share it via the 'Ask Mark' tab at the link in my Instagram bio. Big love to you!~Discover: What do you want most out of this life? What are you not willing to give up? We cannot experience true love until we model it What to do when someone wants to change after we leave The real reason for resentment Repairing after workaholism and affairs Perfectionism, high achievers, and worthiness How to work with a "recovering defender" How to know if your needs didn't get met as a child Repair and atonement after betrayal Our core beliefs are always mirrored by the lowest choice we make Alone vs. lonely See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#069: This Is The Work - Solo Episode

This moment isn’t an obstacle—however hard it is, this moment is always the path and the opportunity to come home to yourself. We are all spiritual beings in human being bodies. So who are you when the masks are dropped? Who are you underneath the roles, jobs, stories and busyness of life? Who are you when you really sit in the truth of your existence? If we just sit in this moment we can finally rejoin our inner stillness—the silence that contains all the answers, the truth, the essence of who we are. I recorded this as an invitation for you to stop running, to be still and rejoin your soul on this journey home.~Discover: Why we shrink around our friends and family What does your life stand for? Who do you want to be? Why do we do the thing we don't want to do? When it's hysterical it's historical Why does rejection trigger us? Why you should get curious every time you get triggered When you become more connected to who you are, you experience deep reverence for yourself and other people Why we need to get sober from distractions Stillness is where you find yourself, silence is where you hear yourself See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#068: Mark’s First "Girlfriend" Tells Her Story with Michelle Dow

Okay, “girlfriend” might be a strong term…but either way, I am so grateful that Michelle Dow, the first woman I “dated”, agreed to come on my podcast and share her story. Michelle and I go way back to childhood and I’d like to say we were both each other's first love and heartbreak, but I think I that story lives a little more on my side than hers. Last year, I shared some of my feelings about our breakup, and today Michelle calls me out for not contacting her first to discuss it. So this episode is as real as they come. This is about Michelle’s story, how she experienced me and our breakup and how she feels about it all today. I super appreciate her being open to having this conversation, it was a lot of fun and I think you’ll enjoy it too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#066: Learning To Let Go with Emma Tait

When I was asked to speak on grief, I knew immediately Emma Tait would be the ideal guest for this show. Emma Tait is the driving force behind much of Create The Love, she not only keeps our team together but so much of my life too. Emma walks us through the essentially undefinable path of grief. In her gentle but clear way, she shows us how the answer is found in accepting there is no answer, that sometimes the only way to make sense of life is to see there is no making sense. Emma shares her personal story of loss and how much she has learned to surrender to grief and pain, and in doing so, letting it move through - allowing it to come and go - rather than becoming stuck in the storyline. If you are trying to make sense of any kind of grief this episode is full of lessons for you.Find Emma on Instagram here!Read Emma's article on grief here.Emma Tait is a writer, soul guide, woodsman, dog mom, and soon to be human mom - to name a few. Emma’s life’s work is to empower others to meet, know, love, and walk with their whole selves through all of life’s ebbs and flows. She believes the way forward is for each of us to come back to ourselves through mastering our emotional, physical, and spiritual wisdom. She guides others through her writing, 1:1 coaching, and speaking as they begin the inward journey of embodying the courage to show up and be seen, a journey which always begins within. Connect with her on Instagram.~Discover: The parts that we want to reject are the wisest, teach us the most and expand us the most The heaviness of grief and how to navigate through it Why grief wakes us up to feeling alive and deep pain creates gratitude Why we've been socialized to think grief is bad The beauty of loss, time and gentleness Sometimes it just doesn't make sense, and that's ok Give yourself permission to find joy again A different way to see death See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
