Join me live for 8 days https://cathyheller.samcart.com/products/born-for-this If you have ever pretzeled yourself to keep the peace, avoided a hard conversation, or woken up wondering how you got so far from yourself, this episode is for you. I sat down with human connection expert and author Mark Groves to talk about codependency, self abandonment, shame, and what it actually looks like to stop leaving yourself to belong to other people. We get into why telling the truth is the most radical act of self reclamation, how to know when you have outgrown an adaptive strategy, and why the boundary that feels like it will break everything is usually the thing that sets both people free. • Join me live for 8 days https://cathyheller.samcart.com/products/born-for-this • Follow Mark Groves on Instagram @createthelove • Visit Mark at https://www.createthelove.com/ • Get your ticket to Cathy Heller Live: Divine Download in LA, August 2-3 https://cathyheller.com/summit/ • Join Cathy's Circle https://www.cathyheller.com/cathys-circle/ • Follow Cathy on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cathy.heller/ • Want to work with Cathy? https://www.cathyheller.com/start-here/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro…
