820. The Path to Lasting Love w/ Mark Groves
Happy Throwback Thursday and Relationship Week Heal Squad. For today’s Relationship week episode we welcome back the incredible Mark Groves to explore the fascinating world of relationships and love. As a Human Connection Specialist, coach, and emotional translator, Mark shares valuable insights into being proactive in dating, the complicated dynamic of situationships, the reality of a swipe right culture, and understanding our attraction to emotionally unavailable partners. We also discuss the importance of micro-celebrations, relationship agreements, and healthy boundaries.Healers & Heal-Liners
The real reason that relationships end is because we fail to create agreements at the beginning
A lot of us are afraid to confront the truth in relationships
People end up in situationships because they want relationships
Studies show that women get bored of monogamy faster than men
Any subordinate group needs to learn the needs and nuances of the dominant group
You’re not the hero you think you are

815. Big Brother’s Kyland Young Challenging Cancel Culture
Hey Heal Squad! Welcome to part 2 of my conversation with competition reality tv star Kyland Young, as he takes us behind the scenes of his experiences on Big Brother and The Challenge. We explore the alliance of the Cookout, the impact of cancel culture, and the contrasting dynamics and cast archetypes between Big Brother and The challenge. Kyland shares his unique perspective as someone on the autism spectrum and the positive aspects of participating in these intense games. We dive deeper into discussion about the passionate fanbases of both shows, Kyland’s desire to do more seasons of The Challenge, and his journey through the cutthroat world of reality television.Healers and Heal-Liners
What people miss is the nuance of the game, because it’s not chess, it’s chess mixed with poker
We make decisions emotionally, and justify it with reason afterwards
If you put people in high stress difficult situations you get the opposite of their normal response
Big Brother has more lasting marriages than from the Bachelorette and Bachelor franchise
