Summary

Themes: Death, Breakups, Relationships, Boundaries, Learning to Let Go, Self-Reflection, Relational Endings Death. Learning to let go. It’s easier said than done. You didn’t fight hard enough for this relationship. These are words and phrases that haunt us when we shift towards a new phase of our lives, whether it’s professionally, romantically or both. When we find ourselves at the end of a relationship we often feel that we need to fight so we can preserve the relationship. We feel that we need to give that extra push to preserve the love that once was. But what if...the best way to fight for the relationship is to let it go? What if...the best way to honour each other is to honour yourselves first? When we find ourselves at these crossroads where do we go? What do we need to do to move on and grow? Discover: How we mistake letting go with giving up. Letting go of people, behaviours, patterns that are not in alignment is a superpower. Relationships are a potent invitation to your expansion and growth. We’re not honouring our worth when we don’t show up. Love is meant to teach us, to prepare us for connection that is within our highest alignment.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mark Rose podcast. So I was sitting down to have a coffee, a decalf,
0:14.6	just so we're clear. And I wanted to sit down and have a coffee with you, talk to you about
0:20.2	the things that have been sort of
0:22.2	flowing through my experience, through my mind, through my heart, through my soul, the things I've been sort of chewing on and exploring.
0:29.6	And I think that we all tend to be sort of collectively chewing on the same things at the same time, you know, processing similar things that are going on
0:39.2	not only culturally, but also due to the seasonality of our earth and, you know, fall where I am.
0:48.0	Currently, it's fall and, you know, you have the decay, the death, leaves falling off the tree,
0:53.5	but right before they do that, they just
0:55.4	provide this incredible light show, you know, this beautiful array of art just across the landscape.
1:04.2	Recently, I've just run into the term a larch hike. I didn't know. This is a new hipster term for
1:09.3	sure, because I was like, you mean like a hike
1:11.8	in the fall where you look at the trees? And it's like, yeah, and look at the larches. Like, I've never
1:15.7	heard of this. This must be a hashtag. Of course it is. And I did, I've gone on quite a few now and just
1:22.4	enjoyed the array of light. It's the array of color.
1:33.3	And as, you know, the news and the world can feel heavy,
1:37.2	it is so important that we immerse ourselves in nature and be reminded that life is actually quite light,
1:40.4	that the earth goes through these transitions and these periods.
1:46.3	And as a collective, we are definitely terrified of death. We're terrified of the ending. And sometimes I find myself in these
1:51.5	existential loops of like, wait, but I'm on this planet and I'm this being and I'm here for this
1:57.0	amount of time and wait, this ends, but where do we go? And, you know, I don't know if you get into those mind fuck loops where all of a sudden you're like, am I high, I'm not high,
2:04.9	like, but I feel this is weird. Then you watch the Matrix and then you watch the Matrix 2 and 3
2:10.4	and you're like, holy shit, there's a fourth one coming. I've been thinking a lot about
