How to Co-Regulate: The Science Behind Relationship Harmony with Mark Groves
In this episode, I sit down with Mark Groves, a leading voice in personal growth, relationships, and authenticity. Mark is known for helping people navigate the complexities of love, connection, and self-awareness with radical honesty and compassion.
We Cover:
- The “vulnerability cycle” and how it shapes relationship patterns.
- Why defensiveness is the ultimate intimacy killer—and how to move past it.
- How to co-regulate and create harmony even in the toughest moments.
- Breaking free from inherited relational habits that no longer serve you.
- Turning relationship conflict into a powerful path toward deeper connection.
- The surprising wisdom behind wounds and how they can lead to the love you deeply desire.
Mark’s insights on embracing discomfort and co-regulation as a path to growth hit me deeply. The idea that “our defense strategies live beside our greatest wounds” changed the way I see not only my relationships but also my own triggers. By learning to co-regulate, we can turn relational tension into an opportunity for connection and healing.
If you’re ready to transform your relationships and yourself, this episode is a must-listen.

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.
Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.
Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?
In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values.)
If you’re reading this, you want to grow. Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
