In This Episode, Mark and Joey discuss the importance of taking back your power in relationships. They address issues like feeling stuck, dealing with affairs, and navigating pain and uncertainty. They guide you through four steps: clarification, setting boundaries, understanding the partner's perspective, and taking appropriate action. They emphasize the need to own your emotions while also recognizing what is not yours to own. They also encourage you to focus on personal responsibility and self-value, urging you to establish healthy boundaries and refuse to tolerate mistreatment.
