John is joined in this episode by Mel Clarke, a soul relationship coach. Mel shares her personal journey of self-discovery and healing, highlighting her experiences of being in a toxic relationship and the importance of setting boundaries. She reflects on the challenges of dealing with narcissistic behaviour and the impact it had on her self-worth and relationships. The episode delves into themes of empathy, boundaries, and the complexities of navigating toxic relationships while prioritising self-care and personal growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Boundaries are essential for self-healing, self-love, and self-worth.
Recognising patterns and defence mechanisms in oneself and others is crucial for understanding behaviour.
Empathy and understanding can sometimes lead to tolerating abusive behaviour for longer than necessary.
Setting boundaries and prioritising self-care is important, even when it means letting go of toxic relationships.
Personal growth and spiritual development often involve facing difficult situations and learning from them.

BEST MOMENTS

 "I have a real passion to help men and women that are settling in their relationships predominantly because millions, if not billions of people are doing that every day." 

 "It's all love and light, right? Higher consciousness and energy and the universe and all the rest of it. The rest of it is like ego-based defence patterns, things that we've learned from a kid when our own needs weren't getting met as a child."

"Mel, stop putting everybody else's feelings before your own. Get your fucking boundaries in place, love. And, you know, practice what you preach, basically." 

"It's interesting about your character, isn't it, that you keep trying to, or you kept trying to see his side of things. You kept trying to put yourself into his shoes, that empathy, yeah, kind of was well kind of too far, too much empathy." 

"But again, without prying too much into your personal life. Have you fallen out of it now? Because something that he's accusing you of that you've done wrong that he can't face up to?"
