We all have a tendency to avoid things that are difficult. We make excuses. We blame. We bury it. THAT’S A MISTAKE!

Human Connection Specialist, writer, speaker and dating coach, Mark Groves, knows where there’s pain there’s gain. Life and relationship aren’t easy, so to be our best versions of self, we all need to know how to tap into our inner warrior. As Mark explains, that means getting in touch with our anger and recognizing anger isn’t all bad, it can be a kind of love.

If you listen to the Smart Couple Podcast and live in the real world, you know relationships aren’t just kisses and roses all the time. So, let’s take a look at our wounded, angry warrior sides and see what they can teach us about loving well!
