About this episode

"What makes love so valuable is the grief that is accompanied with the possibility of losing it."

Episode #3 of May’s Mental Health Month.

All right, Besties, it’s time for part 2, and the title says it all – today’s episode is all about healing! Breakups are never easy, but you need to stop chasing someone who doesn’t want you and choose yourself. Choose yourself first. Love yourself first. 

Mark Groves is back on the podcast today, and he shares his tips for recognizing when someone isn’t right for you, how to spot patterns in your dating life, and how trust can be rebuilt after it’s been broken. Pull out a pen and paper and take some notes - they might just change your life. 


What to Listen For:

  • 00:00 Introduction
  • 01:28 This “I wasn’t enough!” lens
  • 05:42 Stop chasing someone who isn’t chasing you back
  • 06:46 When you feel like you can’t openly share your emotions
  • 09:10 How do you know someone is right for you?
  • 17:19 Awareness of your patterns when dating
  • 23:49 Relational outcomes are separate from our self worth
  • 28:19 There is no psychological safety in conflict
  • 33:04 Forgiveness is earned, trust is rebuilt
  • 39:05 “I should be looking at the pattern with my mother”
