I was like, whoa, I feel powerful. You need access to this anger because it says like, no, that is not okay.

Or no, that doesn't work for me. Or that's a no for my body. Or maybe that's even a yes.

Because that no, having access to that embodied no is what really opens the doorway to a true yes.

And we talk about that all the time in our work.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.

This week, I dive into the subject of Boundaries with Kylie.

This is an excerpt from the audiobook where we have unscripted discussions after each chapter.

And this is after a pretty in-depth chapter on boundaries, which is chapter 8.

If you follow my work for a while,

you know that boundaries are at the core of a good life. They are everything. They're so important.

I can't think of a skill set that will make more of a difference in your life.

Because, you know, when we ask someone what predicts a great

relationship or someone being successful at relationships, almost 100% of people will say good

communication. That is true to be able to communicate a boundary, to be able to communicate

and explain how we're feeling, to be able to listen, obviously, a core part of communication.

And really at the core of good relating is boundaries, because boundaries are this delineation

between us and other, where, as that saying goes, where you end and I begin.

And so we dive more deeply into the nuance of this conversation of why they're important,

why they're so important

relationally, how they impact attraction, how they impact safety. All these are such

important pieces of the relational puzzle. And if you master boundaries, you will master life,

like full stop.
