Accessing and Honoring Anger for Transformation
Kylie and Mark delved into accessing and honoring anger as a means to transform their relationship dynamics.

Mark emphasized the importance of clean anger as a tool for protecting oneself and others.

This supportive community environment allowed for growth and understanding during the relationship's transition.

Sabrina sits down with Mark Groves and his partner, Kylie McBeath, for a conversation on their dating journey, which leads them from breaking up to finding each other again years later.
When they first parted ways, they were confronted with the logic behind why it had to end and what they each had to work on. After their closing ceremony, a collective decision to end the relationship with a series of questions and reflections, they each worked on addressing their codependencies and why their relationship was not serving them as individuals.
Healing involved figuring out what Kylie began with sourcing from men or a relationship with Mark. They both reflect on the series of tools such as somatic therapy, financial competence, and creating a safe space for feeling a range of emotions as individuals and liberation that brought them back to one another.
