Today, I am blessed to have here with me Mark Groves. He is a Human Connection Specialist - an emotional translator, writer, and speaker. Mark is endlessly curious about the human experience and shares what he’s learning as he learns it.

Mark helps people understand their emotional matrix by mastering themselves through their words. He takes what you think you want, finds out what you want, and gives you the tools to achieve your goals. 

In this episode, Mark speaks about the importance of authenticity on your journey of healing. Then, Mark dives deep into his past, including the challenging decision to call off his engagement. In society, we place a high value on our relationship status; Mark explains why the most important relationship you should have is with yourself. Plus, if you’re in a high-conflict relationship, it could be detrimental to your health. Tune in as we chat about healthy boundaries, learning to love, and how to avoid losing yourself in a relationship.

[01:00] Authenticity Will Be Your Best Path To Find Healing on Your Health Journey 

• When are you pretending to be someone you’re not? 
• Whenever you pretend to be someone else, you’re telling yourself that you’re not enough. 
• Authenticity is one of the most significant paths to healing. 
• You can only heal yourself by being aligned. 

[09:10] Value Is Placed On Your Relationship Status - It’s Time To Change The Status Quo 

• In society, your value is placed on your relationship status. 
• People ask why you’re single. They ask when you’re getting engaged. When you’re engaged, they ask when you will get married. 
• If you get divorced, then people think that means you failed.
• Well, one of the greatest gifts we can give is recognizing the value of goodbyes. 
• Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is leave. 
• After three months of engagement, Mark left his relationship. 

[17:00] Stress and High Conflict Relationships Are Creating Poor Health 

• High conflict couples have higher amounts of leaky gut. 
• There’s an inflammatory process that occurs when we're dysregulated.
• When you avoid chaos on the outside, you internalize it. 
• If you’re anxious about something, it can lead to a sick stomach. 
• The journey of relationships is teaching us how incredibly wise we are.

[22:10] Are You Going To A Job That You Hate? Stop Doing Things You Don’t Love

• Most heart attacks happen on Monday morning between 8 am and 9 am. Your body gives many warnings; it’s normal to live through those warnings. 
• When we perpetually do things we don’t love, it sends the message that we don’t believe in ourselves. 
• If you want to find what matters to you, then find what breaks your heart. 
• After Mark’s relationship ended, he felt so connected to himself. However, he was judged by everyone for it. 

[27:45] Please Avoid Losing Yourself In Your Relationships

• When a relationship ends, you’ll hear people say, “they took a part of me.”
• In society, we are taught that people complete us. 
• Also, it’s normal to give up everything for love. 
• However, if you lose your relationship, you end up losing yourself. 

[39:40] Why You Shouldn’t Feel Guilty About Expressing Boundaries

• When you are afraid to express a boundary, it comes from a beautiful place. 
• If you don’t want to communicate your boundaries, most likely, you are trying to protect other people from experiencing feelings. 
• When Mark quit drinking, he feared what other people would think of him at weddings, bachelor parties, and guys trips. 
• However, Mark had gone to his first wedding sober and had the time of his life. 
• If you’re not expressing boundaries, you are making other people’s feelings more important than your own. 

[47:00] Allow Other People To Be Disappointed Because Boundaries Will Preserve Your Wholeness

• Allow other people to be disappointed. 
• Don’t try and save people from disappointment, and don’t let their disappointment correlate to how you feel about yourself. 
• Boundaries will preserve wholeness. 
• When you declare a boundary, you have your own back. 

[57:40] Take The Time To Learn About Love 

• Love is a verb. 
• If we make withdrawals from our love accounts, we can also make deposits. 
• Great relationships don’t just come to people; they are created through behaviors. 
• We need to take the time to learn love, and everyone can learn it.
