353. Mark Groves: Boundaries Are Love + Other No-BS Advice
THE INTERVIEW 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.

349. Baring It all with The Birds Papaya
THE INTERVIEW Known as @thebirdspapaya on Instagram, Sarah Nicole Landry unpacks what it means to be out there in the world with confidence and love. Being super honest, open, and vulnerable with yourself is hard enough. Embodying that around other people is a whole different level of uncomfortable… but it’s such a transformative way to live your life! It’s hard to slow down and think of the effect that having eyes on our social media all the time has had on our emotional and mental wellbeing—the spiral of comparison or self-doubt—but she puts it into such a clear perspective. She is still, like all of us, in process, and that’s part of what’s so beautiful about her and her story. We also talk about: Being honest about your growth and transformation instead of ashamed of your past The shame of wrapping your value up in external circumstances Hitting rock bottom and healing Having your own opinions instead of being a sponge for everyone elses Learning to heal in relationships and love The difficulties of vulnerability Find more to love at almost30.com!
