• Ep. 16 | Mark Groves: Why you keep repeating the same relational patterns and how to stop.

  Are you caught in cycles of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, or relationships that mirror your pain? In this powerful conversation with Mark Groves, we explore what it truly means to live from your truth, even when it costs you comfort, connection, or the familiar. We talk about the physiological toll of betraying yourself, how to stop sabotaging healthy love, and the rituals that allow love to evolve. Mark shares his story of breaking off an engagement, walking away from Instagram at the peak of his influence, and how he and his now-wife rekindled their relationship through radical truth and sacred pause. We dive deep into the nervous system, anxious/avoidant patterns, cancel culture, AI, and how to cultivate self-trust in relationships that challenge us to grow. This is a transmission for anyone ready to stop sabotaging healthy love and start creating connection rooted in truth. 👇 JOIN INTEGRATE (next cohort begins June 29): https://www.xavierdagba.com/integrate-apply CONNECT WITH MARK GROVES Website: https://www.createTheLove.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createthelove Substack: https://humaning.substack.com Podcast: The Mark Groves Podcast EXPLORE XAVIER'S WORLD: → Newsletter: https://newsletter.xavierdagba.com → Website: https://www.xavierdagba.com → Membership: https://www.xavierdagba.com/elp-unleashed → Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6sxXNMfsN9FnK34glRnkFC → Podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enheartened-with-xavier-dagba/id1798866363 CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro: The Cost of Self-Betrayal 0:43 - Welcome and why truth matters in love 3:01 - Speaking truth in family & systems 5:03 - Being the truth-teller in your family 7:05 - Spine and heart: the archetypes of safety 10:08 - Mark’s personal story of breaking patterns 14:35 - Leaving social media and reclaiming power 18:00 - How notifications stress the nervous system 21:00 - Social media, self-abandonment & sickness 24:00 - The trait of truth-telling no matter the cost 27:00 - The spiritual price of betraying your knowing 31:00 - Rekindling love after rupture with Kylie 35:56 - The power of a conscious closing ceremony 39:00 - Rituals that transform endings into beginnings 46:01 - Relationship 2.0: starting fresh, together 49:00 - Trust, uncertainty & anxious attachment 53:00 - Mutuality and the power of saying no more 59:00 - Possession by the wound & interrupting patterns 1:04:10 - Why rupture can build deeper intimacy 1:10:13 - Upgrading our collective conflict IQ 1:12:00 - The Four Horsemen of Relationship Breakdown 1:19:09 - The rise of artificial connection 1:27:00 - Are we burned out from too much connection? 1:29:20 - Mark’s sacred scar of gold: premature birth 1:36:12 - What part of you are you still learning to love? #MarkGroves #XavierDagba #INTEGRATE #SelfLiberation #RelationalHealing #AnxiousAttachment #AvoidantAttachment #EnheartenedPodcast #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipRepair #PersonalGrowth #ShadowWork

• Ep. 15 | Xavier Dagba: The Golden Shadow: Before You Can Shine, You Must Claim This First

  What if the light you crave to embody, the power, visibility, and magnetism you long to live, are all hiding in the very place you’ve been taught to fear: your own shadow? In this potent solo podcast episode, Xavier Dagba unpacks the concept of the golden shadow: the radiant parts of ourselves that we unconsciously repress due to fear, trauma, and emotional conditioning. You’ll learn how to recognize your golden shadow through the mirrors of envy and admiration, how self-sabotage is often a love letter from a fearful self, and why integration (not just inspiration) is the true path to sustainable brightness. This is an invitation to stop romanticizing light and start embodying it.

• Ep. 14 | Dan McLintock: The hidden force controlling your emotions - and how to find true inner peace

  In this raw and revelatory conversation, Xavier Dagba welcomes Dan McLintock, co-founder of the Kiloby Inquiries, for a powerful deep dive into the hidden force controlling your emotions: emotional repression. Dan opens up about his personal journey as a lifelong anger repressor — from childhood trauma and chronic self-doubt to addiction and disconnection — and how reclaiming his full emotional range transformed his life. Together, Xavier and Dan unpack the difference between anger and aggression, how repression drives suffering, and why most nervous system regulation techniques only soothe symptoms without addressing the buried emotional roots. Whether you tend to repress anger or vulnerability, this episode will help you uncover the unconscious stories running your life and show you how to work with your repression rather than against it. Here is what you’ll learn in this conversation: Why emotional repression is the true cause of inner chaos How “being good” is often a trauma response The key difference between clean anger and violent outbursts How to somatically test your dominant repression Tools to dissolve shame, self-doubt, and addiction Why peace is found through permission, not perfection And how to reclaim your power without becoming the very thing you feared ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 – The buried emotions that drive suffering 01:01 – The epidemic of emotional repression 02:06 – Dan’s experience as an anger repressor 03:33 – How beliefs and programming trap us in confusion 06:00 – Childhood roots: “I have to be good” 08:49 – Becoming the nice guy & disowning anger 10:19 – Addiction and deficiency stories 11:20 – “I think I might be angry” — the beginning of his healing 12:04 – Developing the repression work with Scott Kiloby 13:18 – How repression expresses as sarcasm, ghosting, people-pleasing 15:23 – Anger repression vs vulnerability repression 18:19 – How to tell which one you carry 20:16 – How expressing anger changed Dan’s relationships 22:20 – How Dan’s relationship with his parents evolved 26:00 – The moment Dan told his parents he was furious 28:11 – Baby steps toward healthy expression 29:29 – The embodied power of a true “no” 30:51 – Cleaning anger from the rageful edge 33:20 – The power of counterintuitive permission statements 35:37 – Spiritual bypassing as a form of repression 37:00 – The messiness of healing repression 39:25 – Reclaiming the part of you that agreed not to be like “them” 44:36 – Tools for somatic testing and reverse inquiry 48:45 – When regulation becomes sedation 51:02 – The fear of emotional overwhelm 54:26 – Why affirming repression often works better than resisting it 58:35 – “I have to suffer” – how unconscious beliefs feed anxiety 1:00:04 – How repression mechanisms behave like an illusionist 1:01:00 – Addiction as emotional regulation 1:04:11 – Shame, sobriety, and letting go of self-punishment 1:07:58 – How shame perpetuates the cycle 1:08:57 – When drinking becomes as neutral as eating broccoli 1:09:48 – Spiritual fallacies and weaponized virtue 1:11:00 – Dan on what he’s still learning to love 1:15:08 – Scars of Gold: transforming self-doubt into trust 1:20:00 – Where to find Dan 1:21:18 – Final wisdom: your back is never against the wall Connect with Dan McLintock Website: www.Kiloby.com/dan Instagram: @dan.mclintock YouTube: @danmclintock1980 TikTok: @dan.mclintock Listen to ENHEARTENED with Xavier Dagba on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6sxXNMfsN9FnK34glRnkFC Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enheartened-with-xavier-dagba/id1798866363 Join Xavier’s newsletter: https://newsletter.xavierdagba.com/ Explore The Embodied Light Project: https://www.xavierdagba.com/elp-unleashed #EmotionalRepression #ShadowWork #KilobyInquiries #SelfHealing #AddictionRecovery #SomaticHealing #TraumaHealing #CleanAnger #SpiritualBypassing #ReverseInquiry #HeartCenteredLiving #InnerPeace #ReclaimYourPower #NervousSystem #EmotionalLiberation #EnheartenedPodcast #XavierDagba #DanMcLintock

• Ep. 13 | Christopher August: Unlock the Divine Intelligence Hidden in Your Breath

We explore the breath not just as a physical function, but as a sacred portal into divine intelligence, emotional alchemy, and true inner freedom.
