#350: Grieving Expectations & Embracing ...

MARK GROVES
About this episode
In this episode, I talk about adapting to change, setting boundaries, and valuing self in relationships. I explore the concept of self-worth detached from external validation and the importance of authenticity in relationships. I also speak about the process of confronting past traumas, the power of conversational role-play, and how to navigate grief and guilt as it arises. Join me as we get real about ourselves and our relationships in order to move towards healthier connections. —Follow me on Instagram - @createthelove: https://www.instagram.com/createthelove —Subscribe to my Newsletter: https://mark-groves.mykajabi.com/newsletter —Subscribe to my Substack: https://markgroves.substack.com —Follow me on Facebook - @createthelove: https://www.facebook.com/createthelove —Get My New Book!
