Imagine having a blueprint for love that empowers you to design the kind of love that fulfills you, lifts you up, and sets you free. In this Language of Love Conversation, I’m sitting down with two remarkable guests. Joining me is  Mark Groves, a human connection specialist and founder of Create the Love, and Kylie McBeath, a certified health coach and host of the Journey Home podcast. Together, they form a powerhouse couple who have co-authored the book “Liberated Love.” Mark and Kylie introduce us to the concept of liberated love, a term that encapsulates a commitment to truth, transparency, and honoring each other's individual paths in a relationship. This approach to love is about not trying to fix or control one another but rather supporting each other's growth and authenticity. Their personal journey, which they candidly share, took them from a phase they refer to as relationship 1.0—a time marked by unconscious dynamics and codependency—to a transformative period they call the sacred pause. This mutual uncoupling allowed them to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, which eventually led them back to each other, ready to begin relationship 2.0, a renewed and more conscious partnership. Here is what we unpack with Kylie and Mark: The concept of “liberated love” and its principles The significance of the “sacred pause” in relationships An exploration of codependency in relationships Recognition of blind spots and masks in relationships Self-awareness, healing from codependency, and personal growth before entering new relationships Intergenerational patterns and societal influences in shaping beliefs about relationships Check out Liberated Love by Mark Groves and Kylie McBeath.
