86. Standing at The Crossroads of a Major Life Change w/ Mark Groves

Are you in the midst of a major life transition? Or heading towards one? Have you ever felt both excitement and terror of change overtaking you? Are you comfortable with not knowing what’s next, as you let go of what was? In this episode, my guest, Mark Grooves, the Creator of Create the Love, and I mine these questions for valuable insights to make a meaningful difference in your life. Mark has been the awkward kid, the pretty boy, the brokenhearted guy, the womanizer, the corporate ladder climber, the white picket fence chaser, the partier, the intellectual, the poet, and now…becoming a Dad! Sparked by a pivotal heartbreak, he has learned with time to let go of the life that he was taught to want. Through curious vulnerability, he has unmasked his inner truths as a communicator, partner, and human. The journey hasn’t come easily, freely, or simply, but it’s been one hell of a beautiful ride. In today’s episode, we talk about the digitalization and disconnection of people on community connections. How transitioning into a new phase can be exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. He talks about his experience with Create the Love as a brand and how it has helped him connect with other people who share similar desires. He also shares his experience with transitioning to a new phase in life – being a dad.
