Mark Groves

Mark Groves is a human connection specialist and the host of The Mark Groves Podcast. He left a career in pharmaceutical sales to study the science of relationships after realizing he was "a master of avoiding intimacy." Groves has since built a massive online community where he explores the complexities of dating, attachment theory, and emotional health. He is known for his "tough love" approach and his ability to articulate difficult emotional truths.\n\nHe is the co-author of Liberated Love: Release Codependent Patterns and Create the Love You Desire, written with his wife, Kylie McBeath. The book explores how childhood wounds and societal programming affect adult relationships. Groves advocates for "creating a life that is yours," arguing that you cannot have a healthy relationship with another person until you have a healthy relationship with yourself.
