Summary

This is a very personal episode for me, this is my own journey with codependency. Throughout our lives we all become part of widely accepted social contracts through our childhood, religion, community and family. This is my story of breaking some of the social contracts that did not align to my own truth or integrity. It took a lot of vulnerability to break those social contract and also to open up on this topic, so I truly hope it resonates. Episode Highlights: 1min - My own personal story and learning about codependency in my own life. 2 mins - My relationship to alcohol. 4 mins - How I’d kept one foot in and out foot out with my commitments to change. 5 mins - What unspoken agreements do you hold onto that you don’t truly believe? 10 mins - If i loved myself what would i do? 16 mins - The addiction to trying to save others. 19 mins - I don’t “have it all together”, the power of compassion for self. 22 mins - Where have you been taught to hide your truth?

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another special edition of the Mark Groves podcast where I jam on a subject that you're interested in what you
0:22.2	want to hear more about and I really wanted to do more of these ones where I get to share
0:27.5	some of my own personal insights and thoughts on things and also things that I'm feeling called

0:40.0	I have this really great friend named Brian Reeves
0:41.9	who has a podcast called Men This Way.
0:44.1	And he's a brilliant writer.
0:45.3	And I remember asking him,
0:46.7	how do you write such amazing stuff?
0:48.9	Like it's always so, you know, pushes the envelope.
0:52.1	And he said to me,
0:53.5	whenever I press publish, I'm always
0:57.7	really fearful. And that's how I know that I'm writing from my edge. And I love that. As soon as he
1:04.5	told me that, that was about two years ago, maybe even three, I made a rule in my life that
1:09.6	everything would be expansive, that I don't want to
1:12.3	live in a comfortable space. I want to be safe and certain about some things, but I certainly
1:18.2	also want to be able to constantly be pushing my own envelope and stretching what feels scary for me
1:26.9	and what, you know, it's hard to ask other people to be
1:29.5	vulnerable and to live life a certain way if I'm not doing that and so I want you know the subject
1:35.8	that I'm sharing with you today is near and dear to my own heart in that I really wanted to
