Summary

This espresso shot solo episode is an excerpt from Ky’s + my recent Valentine's Day Liberated Love Workshop. In this episode, I discuss the nuances of navigating relationships and breakups – emphasizing the crucial role of clear communication and intentional boundaries. Drawing from my personal journey of reconnecting with Kylie, I share the significance of well-defined guidelines post-breakup, explicit communication of needs, and mutual respect. I also explore topics such as infidelity, regret, and confronting uncomfortable truths for personal growth and transformation in relationships. The episode dives into the importance of embracing grief as a pathway to self-discovery and emphasizes the profound growth achieved by acknowledging our inner darkness.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast. Today I'm coming at you with
0:06.2	an espresso shot of a solo episode. For Kylie and I, when we broke up, we broke up. So it was over.
0:14.0	There was not like a intentional period. That's why we created it in the book because we saw
0:19.7	if someone could have guided us through
0:21.4	this, that would have been incredibly helpful. But the relationship had to end, the former
0:27.2	relationship. And when we came back to, so the time apart, we actually had no contact. Like for
0:34.1	Kylie and I, when we came back together, we created a dating container.
0:42.1	So the container had no penetrative sex, but we could be intimate.
0:46.7	Creating an actual container that also has guidelines about, are we seeing other people?
0:47.4	Is there content?

1:21.4	as being virtuous or a good person, quote unquote, they actually can't see that the very
1:26.4	gateway to their shadow is the belief that
1:29.3	they'd never do anything wrong. And so what we're really saying is, you're a human, you did
1:35.1	something that was unhealthy and hurt somebody. That's okay. But like let's learn from it. Let's use
1:41.4	the wisdom of the experience to transform our relationship.
1:45.3	We created a container of clarity of what we were creating. And then three, we did individual
1:50.2	and together work the whole time. There was no like, are we in this? It was like, does this
