In this enlightening episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light sits down with Mark Groves, a human connection specialist known for his candid and practical approach to improving relationships. Mark’s journey from a successful career in pharmaceutical sales to becoming a relationship coach is a testament to his passion for helping others build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Mark dives deep into his personal experiences, sharing how his father played a pivotal role in shaping his emotional intelligence. He reflects on how these early influences, along with the ups and downs of his romantic relationships, have guided his understanding of love and emotional vulnerability.

One of the key concepts discussed is the idea of a “sacred pause” in relationships—a practice Mark believes can be transformative for healing and growth. He also opens up about the difficult decision to break off a five-year engagement, offering valuable insights into recognizing misalignment in relationships and having the courage to make tough choices.

Listeners will also learn about Mark’s transition into relationship coaching, his focus on breaking codependent patterns, and the practical tools he uses, such as cold exposure and breath work, to enhance emotional regulation and relationship health. Mark and his wife, Kylie, recently co-authored Liberated Love, a book that explores these themes and offers actionable advice for creating authentic, liberated relationships.
