0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.
0:04.2	So I've been really interested in why we get stuck in change in transformation
0:09.2	and also our journey as coaches, therapists, healers, interventionalists of any kind,
0:15.2	and how it demands that we do personal work.
0:18.2	Like, look, you don't have to, but if you want your work to be embodied,
0:22.2	and, you know, there's that saying that you can only meet someone as deeply as you've met
0:26.0	yourself. And so when you're navigating a challenge with someone who has come to you to be
0:31.8	supported with that, you know, we have to have explored or no tools that have walked us through something like that

1:30.4	There is shame that is healthy, that comes from the violation of our own morality, that we've
