• #451: The Body Knows: Reclaiming Health Through Natural Living with Samphire Hayes

  Once bedbound with chronic pain and told she'd be disabled for life, Samphire Hayes transformed her health not through surgery, but by embracing natural, ancestral practices—like ground sitting, mindfulness, and movement. In this powerful conversation with Mark Groves, she shares how reconnecting with her body and nature helped her go from mobility aids to walking marathons.

Through practices such as natural movement, ground sitting, mindfulness, nature immersion, and whole-food nutrition, Sam reconnected with the wisdom of human biology and the healing power of nature.

• #450: When Doctors Gave Up, She Didn’t—Ashleigh Di Lello’s Healing Revolution

  In this episode, Mark sits down with Ashleigh Di Lello for a jaw-dropping conversation about the power of the nervous system, the mind-body connection, and what it really takes to heal from the inside out. Ashleigh shares her extraordinary journey—from being told she wouldn’t live past her teens, to becoming a world-class dancer, to fighting through chronic pain and nearly losing her life again. What brought her back wasn’t medicine—it was rewiring her brain, facing unresolved trauma, and stepping into radical self-trust. We explore how the stories we’re told (and tell ourselves) shape our biology, and how healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning to work with your nervous system, not against it. This one is raw, inspiring, and a masterclass in turning pain into purpose.Ashleigh Di Lello is the founder and creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, a revolutionary method based in neuroscience that helps her clients around the world finally break free from emotional trauma, limiting beliefs, anxiety, and the effects of chronic pain and illness.

• #449: Why Avoidant partners NEED you to LEAVE them

  In this solo episode, I dive into the complicated dance between anxious and avoidant attachment styles—and why, sometimes, avoidant people actually need you to leave for real growth to happen. I unpack how chasing someone who’s always got one foot out the door pulls you out of alignment with yourself, and how the true healing starts when you stop over-functioning and learn to stand still. With personal stories (yes, even my not-so-great stick figure drawings), I share what it means to stop colluding with emotional unavailability and start building self-trust. This episode is a straight-up call to honor your nervous system, set boundaries that actually mean something, and break free from the anxious-avoidant loop that’s been draining your soul.Resources:—Learn the connection between Attachment Styles, how it affects the Nervous System, AND how you can heal it: .https://go.markgroves.com/nervous-system-opt-in-podcast —Join My Online Community: http://markgroves.com/community    —Get My New Book!

• #447: You’re not Stuck, You’re Afraid

  In this solo episode, I dive deep into the idea that you’re not stuck—you’re afraid. I explore how fear, comfort, and unconscious loyalty to old stories keep us from stepping into our full potential. I read my viral Substack article aloud and riff on why real growth feels risky, how we sacrifice truth for belonging, and what it really means to live in integrity with your values. This is a call to stop fixing yourself and start becoming—because your freedom lives in choosing you.Resources:—Ready to transform your relationships?
