518. Ask Yourself Hard Questions

Author: Almost 30 August 19, 2024 Duration: 13:22
Mark Groves has one of those stories that just makes you go WOW. He spent years working in the finance and pharmaceutical world in jobs that he hated, filling his life with relationships with people that didn’t serve him. So when he hit rock bottom, he used it as an opportunity to create a life of power, love, + purpose. Now, he’s a human connection specialist who gives no-BS advice. We talk about quarantine, being open to your partner’s truth, the psychology of Instagram models, men and women’s programming, how women often bear the emotional burden in their relationship, codependency, giving words to feelings, and the hottest damn thing anyone can do in a relationship. This message is so necessary right now - all we ask is that you are open. We’re sure there is a message for you in this conversation. Morning Microdose is a podcast curated by Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik, the hosts and founders of Almost 30, a global community, brand, and top rated podcast. With curated clips from the Almost 30 podcast, Morning Mircodose will set the tone for your day, so you can feel inspired through thought provoking conversations…all in digestible episodes that are less than 10 minutes. Wake up with Krista and Lindsey, both literally and spiritually, Monday-Friday. If you enjoyed this conversation, listen to the full episode on Spotify here and on Apple here. 

Finding this space might feel like a happy accident, but there's a reason you're here. Morning Microdose, from the team at Almost 30, is a daily practice designed to replace that initial, often mindless, scroll through your phone with something that actually nourishes you. We recognize how vulnerable our thoughts are in those first waking moments, and how frequently we surrender that time to digital noise instead of our own intention. This podcast offers a concise, sub-ten-minute experience crafted to consciously prime your mind, body, and spirit for whatever the day holds. Each episode weaves together perspectives from education, culture, fitness, and holistic health, creating a short but potent blend of ideas for self-improvement. You'll hear reflections on societal trends, practical wellness tips, and thoughtful insights that challenge the usual morning routine. It's about making those first few minutes count, setting a tone of awareness and purpose that can ripple through your entire day. Tune in and discover how a small, consistent dose of mindful content can fundamentally shift your morning-and by extension, your outlook.
