In this powerful episode Leah sits down with her friend Mark Groves—human connection specialist, author, and host of the Mark Groves podcast—for an unfiltered conversation about love, liberation, and the patterns that keep us stuck.
Mark shares his personal journey from self-betrayal to sovereignty, revealing how external betrayal often begins with abandoning ourselves.
Together, they explore the difference between love and wounded attachment, why we recreate the same relationship dynamics, and what it truly means to be free enough to choose. This is a raw, honest dialogue about breaking generational patterns, honoring your truth, and learning to stop abandoning yourself for the approval of others. If you're ready to stop performing and start living authentically, this conversation will shake you awake.
✨Key Takeaways From This Episode:
- If you're not sovereign and free to leave a relationship, you're not free to choose it
- When you don't live a truth you know, you trade a truth you need
- Self-betrayal often begins long before external betrayal—it starts when we dishonor ourselves
- The thing you wanted most as a child but didn't get is often what you unconsciously seek in relationships
- Your emotions are not inconvenient—they're your soul's language and internal GPS
- Being out of integrity with yourself creates literal inflammation in your body and mind
- The shadow voice will always tell you to stay small—your job is to say "hell no" - Healing the suppression is in the expression of it
- There's nothing broken about you—your feelings of emptiness are your soul calling you home
- At some point you have to decide: will you keep playing victim or finally choose your life?
- The truth always comes for you—either as a whisper or a cosmic dump truck
- Liberation isn't comfortable, but staying small costs you everything
