Let's Change How We Show Up to Love
As someone who has more of a public life, it’s really important that I keep some things private. Not just because privacy is obviously important in general, but because there are some things that deserve and must be held as sacred.
The last three years have really felt like a tremendous transformation. But with any transformation, one must stay suspended in the “goo” that is the space in between what “was” and what is “becoming.”
I don’t like the goo part… but part of my process of moving through the “goo” is actually sharing what it feels like to be in it. To share with you what I’m learning as I take each step forward, seemingly down a path, but not necessarily sure where it leads.
When it comes to my relationship with Kylie, I no longer feel like I have a map. I am walking a path with her, and our son Jasper, that we are creating anew each and every day.
I had not known couples, orienting to their challenges, grateful for how those challenges are bringing forward “material” to work with. That seems kind of odd to sit with, right? To consider that what comes up for you in relationships is actually a sacred invitation for you to change and step into the highest potential expression of your being.
But how could it be any other way? We are not meant to live in our suffering, but rather to be transformed by it.
As Victor Frankl said, “To live is to suffer, but to survive is to find meaning in our suffering.”
Kylie and I are firm believers that it’s time for a new way in relationships. A new way to navigate love… We call this Liberated Love, and we have a book coming out April 16th that guides you on how to walk that path, and everything we’ve learned and done to move through this transformation. (Side note — if you go preorder it now, you can get a free meditation we recorded on liberated love, and the accompanying workbook.)
In this week’s episode of the podcast we discuss the concept of Liberated Love and how we, as a couple steeped in our humanness, do our best to embody it.
I like to ride the line of what’s sacred and what’s meant to be shared, and I think this podcast is a good example of wanting to use the material that comes up in our life and relationship, in hopes that it will help you uncover patterns and change how you show up to life and love.
With love,
Mark
