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

Today's episode is such a stark reminder of the importance of relationship, the importance

of connection with others, the importance of how we develop those connections and learn about

them as we grow up and also how we nurture them in our romantic relationships and

in all of our relationships. This skill set that we highlight that we dive deep into today is so

incredibly important to the quality of your life, to the quality of your health. I mean,

that's the part that you can't say enough, that the

physiology, your physiology, your body will completely change when you change how you relate. Isn't that

crazy to think about? Because if you are boundaryless relationally, you will be boundaryless in so many things,

in the choices you make. When you have access to the level of discernment about something like,

you know, what type of person is going to be in your life, what kind of behaviors you're going to

have in your romantic relationship, how you're going to handle conflict, now there's a standard

that must make it into everything. And it can't not. your romantic relationship, how you're going to handle conflict, now there's a standard that

must make it into everything. And it can't not. This is why I've always been so in love

they are the magnifying glass to all the stuff we don't do well but they're also the place where we

might be most willing to do the work now today's guest is incredible mike elliott is one of the

top relationship coaches he is so incredibly bright and reflective and he does such the inner work

himself so what you experience in listening

to him, and I experience this in our conversation, is that he has such a high level of integrity,

and he has, this is what he does. He lives this. This is not something he preaches or teaches

that is not something that's embodied.
