Summary

In this episode, I talk about adapting to change, setting boundaries, and valuing self in relationships. I explore the concept of self-worth detached from external validation and the importance of authenticity in relationships. I also speak about the process of confronting past traumas, the power of conversational role-play, and how to navigate grief and guilt as it arises.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.
0:07.3	Today I'm coming at you with an espresso shot of a solo episode.
0:13.8	You know, there's a saying that when someone won't change, you have to change how you orient to them not changing.
0:22.0	So if I've done everything I can, let's say I have a family member I want to speak to,

1:41.3	we will feel the hurt of that. But when we have shown up and we've
1:44.8	gotten into integrity with what we want to generate in a relationship, and again, we're
1:50.4	assuming that someone can even do it, right? Because a lot of people can't have these conversations.
1:56.1	If there's a part of you that feels unworthy because they can't show up, I want you to really love
