In this episode, I am joined by Mark Groves, a human connection specialist, author, speaker, and host of 'The Mark Groves Podcast'. This discussion covers the role of boundaries in relationships, the importance of commitment to yourself, and the danger of self-abandonment. Mark shares his own personal journey from being a pharmaceutical sales rep to a motivator and communicator in the field of relationship health. Together, we explore the impact of societal messaging on women, the conditioning of abandoning yourself for the needs of others, and the healing potential when women gather in reverence and ceremony.
