Since the Fall, the differences between men and women have been a source of tension and conflict, shaped by how we interpret the other through our own perspective. But this very tension is a pathway to holiness—a chance to discover the gift, beauty, and wonder of the other. In this episode, we lay the foundation for understanding the masculine and feminine genius so we can go deeper into gender complementarity as part of God's plan. Discussed in this episode: The surprising connection between masculinity, femininity, and holiness through conflict and tension; A free preview of a CPMAP certification lecture on the foundations of masculine and feminine genius; How John Paul II's concept of “feminine genius” offers profound insights into gender differences; Why our biology as male or female is foundational to understanding who we are; Cardinal Ratzinger's thoughts on how sexuality marks us physically, psychologically, and spiritually; Why the battle of the sexes and gender wars date back to the fall of Adam and Eve; How Marxist ideology and feminism have shaped modern views on gender and equality; Why “fractional complementarity” can lead to a distorted understanding of gender; The role of Mary and St. Joseph in forming Jesus through their respective geniuses; The dangers of conflating equality with sameness in the modern cultural landscape; Why the Church's anthropology is uniquely positioned to respond to gender confusion; Why understanding gender differences can lead to complementarity and heal relationships.

Welcome to Episode 109 of the Being Human Podcast:  Converting the Culture with Love, w/ Sr. Agnus Dei, SV Roe v. Wade may have been overturned, but it doesn't seem as if much has changed in our culture, causing us to question if Love truly is winning. Rather than give in to despair, how can we help to change hearts and live in a truly pro-life way, beyond the argument against abortion?  Joining Dr. Greg on the podcast this week to break open these important topics is Sr. Agnus Dei of the Sisters of Life!  In this encouraging and hopeful episode, Sister vulnerably shares her personal journey to religious life and offers listeners a glimpse into what it means to live out a call to love and reverence the dignity of all human life.  Discussed in this episode: Get to know a real life nun: Sr. Agnus Dei's personal journey to joining the Sisters of Life, their mission, and the four vows taken by each Sister;  The importance of going beyond political arguments to the heart of what it means to be pro-life; How reverencing life is more than just an anti-abortion argument; Sister's experience as postulant director and the younger generation's discomfort with the commitment and devotion required of true love; Recommitting to love as a way to counteract the despair and suffering present in our culture;  Abortion as a wound in the lives of women;  Forces of our modern culture as disintegrating versus God's love and Christian life as oriented towards integration;  The importance of tapping into our natural orientation towards God and towards love in our core; Stories of hope from Sister's experience: illustrations of how she has seen Jesus win and heal hearts; The complementarity of the lay and consecrated vocations;  The importance of seeing the dignity of the person at all stages of life, and Sister's personal experience with end of life issues.

Welcome to Episode 96 of the Being Human Podcast:  Yes, I Was Wrong (Dialectic w/ Brian Butler) In Episode 76 of the podcast, while exploring a Catholic vision of complementarity between men and women, Dr. Greg proposed that a gift of self must be received in order for it to have been fully given. In this week's episode, find out why he was wrong!  In it, Dr. Greg is joined by Brian Butler, friend and founder of DumbOx Ministries/ECHO Communities, to break open what it means to become a gift to others and why we can find consolation even when our gift of self is met with rejection.  Discussed in this episode:   Introducing Brian Butler and DumbOx Ministries/Echo Community The difficulty and risk involved with authentic evangelization and giving of ourselves to others;  The way that sin and past rejection can cause us to either self-protect or develop an unhealthy dependence upon human relationships;  Why our gift of self is not diminished despite the rejection we may encounter;  All gift as finding its source, origin, and summit in the Trinity and Christ as our model of perfect self-gift; Recognizing others as an icon or a window into the infinite love of God and the importance of treating them as such;  Brian's story of rejection, and how his experience of femininity helped to heal him;  Healthy friendship and how it helps to call out the greatness in one another;  The challenges and joys of the “apprenticeship of marriage” and the importance of trusting that God is working in and through any mistakes made.  Resources mentioned or relevant: Learn more about DumbOx Ministries/ECHO Community;  Find out when the next ECHO Retreat will be;  Get to know more about Brian Butler and his staff;  For reference: Episode #76: Gender Fluidity or Complementarity (Part Two), in which Dr. Greg states “Gifts must be received in order for them to have been fully given.” A Meditation on Givenness by Pope John Paul II; Amoris Laetitia - an Apostolic Exhortation by Pope Francis; Mulieris Dignitatem - an Apostolic Letter by Pope John Paul II For an overview of our new Certification, check out Episode #82: Creating a Catholic Standard for Mental Health; Learn about IDDM (Mentorship) and how it can help you; Schedule a free 15-minute consultation call with our staff to discuss your situation and how we can support you!

Welcome to Episode 95 of the Being Human Podcast:  How Broken Is Your Family? w/ Dr. Bryan and Amy Grace (Certification Series: Part 12 of 12) The Church calls the family the “school of love” - the place where we are formed and where we learn how to be in relationship with others. But what happens when our “schools” do not provide us with a sufficient education? In this final episode in our Certification series (recorded live and in-person! ), Dr. Greg, Dr. Bryan and Amy Grace explore this topic and more while breaking open the content in the fourth-level anthropology course! (Note: Sound quality due to technical difficulties encountered while recording.)   Discussed in this episode:   What is meant by the term “school of love”; Why we all experience a feeling that things are “not quite right”;  Our resistance to blaming our parents for our miseducation in love; Can those who struggle with infertility or who remain celibate still be fruitful?  Why parenthood should not be equated with having a baby;  Dynamics of parental love that are meant to be an image of God's love for us; What happens when parents fail to provide selfless love to their children;  The psychological reason spouses should prioritize one another over their children;  The necessity of having both a mom and a dad, and how each is meant to serve as both a complement and a model to their children;  Answering the question “Is there something wrong with me if I grew up in a broken home or without a mom or dad?” Resources mentioned or relevant: Register for the next Open House - happening in January 2023!

There are some things you just have to know to keep up with the headlines. Things that, in some cases, provide crucial insights into who we are and how we and the universe we are part of work.   It might be that a big picture concept of the fundamental building blocks of reality is one of those things.   If you, like me, really want to understand something about physics, but find yourself thwarted at every turn by boring, overly-technical, confusing, and poorly organized presentations, allow The History of Being Human Podcast to throw its hat into the ring. What follows is my own boring, confusing presentation of some key ideas, presented as only a naive mind can.  All I can say in my defense is that you really just have to know this.  Or not.

On episode seventy-four of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I talk with Dr. Greg Bottaro about the importance of keeping Catholicism and Psychology together. Biography:Dr. Greg Bottaro is a Catholic Psychologist who directs the CatholicPsych Institute and developed Catholic Mindfulness. Before getting his doctorate, he spent four years living as a Franciscan Friar. Under the mentorship of Fr. Benedict Groeschel, this experience helped him form a spirituality based on Abandonment to Divine Providence which he now applies to psychological principles in his practice.To learn more about Dr. Bottaro and his work, check out his work at https://www.catholicpsych.com/.

I'm so excited about today's episode of The Being Human Podcast with Andrew Kap, author of the bestselling book, “The Last Law of Attraction Book You'll Ever Need To Read.”If you've ever wondered why manifestation hasn't worked for you, this episode is a must listen. The way Andrew simplifies the Law of Attraction is truly astounding, and he's more than willing to share how he used these techniques to reclaim his finances, his love life, and his health. We discussed the truth about whether you actually need to believe in the Law Of Attraction for it to work (Spoiler alert: you DON'T, and Andrew will explain why), The ONE piece of information you may be missing if the Law of Attraction hasn't been working for you, and so much more.This episode is so full of actionable tips and science-backed reasonings for the use of the Law of Attraction that I can't even begin to describe it all in these shownotes. Our discussion ranged from what was left out of the well-known work, The Secret to how we can interrupt negative realities and raise our vibration.

This episode of The Being Human Podcast is about one of the core things we, as entrepreneurs, need to be successful in our lives - to know yourself.Authenticity is a buzzword nowadays - rightfully so - because our audiences are attracted to who we are, not what we sell. If you don't know who you are, your people will be able to feel it and your business will fail, which is why I highly recommend a means of therapy on your self-discovery journey.Therapy was once taboo, but now the healing journey has become as critical to your success as your marketing plan - and in my experience, even more so.I'm going to walk you through some common themes I notice in entrepreneurs that slow them down or stop their happiness altogether, along with how working with a therapist can help.Let's dive in.Resources and Links from the Show: Take my FREE quiz to find out how well you know yourself and where to start using that to skyrocket your biz success: https://www.vasavikumar.com/takethequizJoin the MIND Your Own BUSINESS community here: http://vasavikumar.com/membershipConnect with Vasavi on Instagram: @mynameisvasaviKey moments to tune in for:[3:11] Common themes every business owner has (and you do, too)[10:08] How to reconnect with your true self and embrace authenticity[14:39] How to get started working on yourself (especially with a therapist)---------Vasavi Kumar leads the coaching industry with 10 years of experience and has helped thousands of women overcome major life obstacles to create new heights of success.

Today's episode of The Being Human Podcast is all about that pesky guilt we feel when we set expectations and limits for ourselves and the people in our lives.The truth is setting boundaries is one of the major factors that plays into the guilt we may have.We've lived for so long without addressing what we need that when we ask for it, not everyone may react well and there's often guilt that comes up when we define how we want to be treated. However, there's a difference between earned and unearned guilt.So in today's episode I'm diving into exactly what these two types of guilt look like and how we can address them without the unnecessary guilt clouding our mind and slowing us down.Let's dive in.Resources and Links from the Show: Take my FREE quiz to find out how well you know yourself and where to start using that to skyrocket your biz success: https://www.vasavikumar.com/takethequizJoin the MIND Your Own BUSINESS community here: http://vasavikumar.com/membershipConnect with Vasavi on Instagram: @mynameisvasaviKey moments to tune in for:[5:48] Why we feel the guilt[8:49] When you feel like you have to say, “yes”[19:40] Strategies to deal with unearned guilt[22:23] 4 Things to remember the next time you set boundaries and feel guilt---------Vasavi Kumar leads the coaching industry with 10 years of experience and has helped thousands of women overcome major life obstacles to create new heights of success.

Trust is the number one most important piece of well... everything and today's episode of The Being Human Podcast we're talking about 5 reasons why you don't trust yourself.You might be thinking “Psshh… I don't need to rebuild trust with myself, Vasavi.” The truth is, most of us have broken our self-trust and we do it almost every day. It's the subtle moments when you don't keep your word, when your emotions overtake you, or even when you switch between personas throughout the day (like who you are at work vs who you are at home).Rebuilding trust takes time and not having trust in yourself isn't an option. It's a requirement. It's the only way forward.But to do that, we first have to acknowledge where we aren't trusting ourselves, so in this episode I'm going to tell you 5 reasons why you don't trust yourself and give you a few tips to rebuild that trust muscle.Resources and Links from the Show: Take my FREE quiz to find out how well you know yourself and where to start using that to skyrocket your biz success: https://www.vasavikumar.com/takethequizJoin the MIND Your Own BUSINESS community here: http://vasavikumar.com/membershipConnect with Vasavi on Instagram: @mynameisvasaviKey moments to tune in for:[3:55] Reason 1 why you can't trust yourself: Happiness and Misery[10:05] Reason 2 why you can't trust yourself: Weakness and self-control[3:55] Reason 3 why you can't trust yourself: Logical thinking[11:38] Reason 4 why you can't trust yourself: Too emotional[13:40] Reason 5 why you can't trust yourself: Too many masks---------Vasavi Kumar leads the coaching industry with 10 years of experience and has helped thousands of women overcome major life obstacles to create new heights of success.

On today's episode of The Being Human Podcast we're taking one step closer to getting what we want.Sometimes we don't get what we want because we simply don't ask for it. It happens way too often (especially for women) for many fear-based reasons, like seeming too pushy. But we can't not ask for what we want.It's how we get our needs met - but when we feel like speaking up is being “pushy” we run away or hide at the possibility of being uncomfortable. This is a big issue, y'all, and I can't stress enough how important it is to learn how to ask for what you want, which is exactly what I'm going to show you in this episode.Resources and Links from the Show: Take my FREE quiz to find out how well you know yourself and where to start using that to skyrocket your biz success: https://www.vasavikumar.com/takethequizJoin the MIND Your Own BUSINESS community here: http://vasavikumar.com/membershipConnect with Vasavi on Instagram: @mynameisvasaviKey moments to tune in for:[2:15] The age-old story that keeps us stuck[7:25] A few questions to ask yourself about how you get your needs met[13:05] Stop being afraid of being perceived the wrong way---------Vasavi Kumar leads the coaching industry with 10 years of experience and has helped thousands of women overcome major life obstacles to create new heights of success.

Today's episode of The Being Human Podcast is a true introduction to why I started Mind Your Own Business, my private membership community for online business owners and those of us trying to figure out who we are.I wanted to create this episode because while many entrepreneurs build a membership as an easy way to increase their income (and still be of service), the real reason I started MYOB is a much deeper need for me.I see people, like you, all the time who are experiencing loneliness in business, or who want to join a community but are afraid of getting lost in the sea of people, but I set MYOB up to combat exactly that and give you so much more.Listen to how it can work for you in this episode. Resources and Links from the Show: Take my FREE quiz to find out how well you know yourself and where to start using that to skyrocket your biz success: https://www.vasavikumar.com/takethequizJoin the MIND Your Own BUSINESS community here: http://vasavikumar.com/membershipConnect with Vasavi on Instagram: @mynameisvasaviKey moments to tune in for:[1:54] The real reason I started MYOB[7:48] How the MYOB community is different ---------Vasavi Kumar leads the coaching industry with 10 years of experience and has helped thousands of women overcome major life obstacles to create new heights of success.

In today's episode we explore Jennifer's multiple and equally strong yet seemingly unrelated careers. We ask how she balances the different skills needed and how she makes spaces for them inside herself? As a soprano, Jennifer is used to being in the spotlight, so we are curious how she manages to equally embrace the role of the silent observer. Being busy keeps Jennifer interested and thus allows her to accomplish more. But how to organize the workflow so that the thought-making process is given the deserved space and time? Jennifer also reflects on the highlights of her PhD project, which led her to writing a book, and on the unique working conditions that only academia can create. Listen to the episode to get energized by Jennifer's vibrant approach to life and research.Mentioned in Podcast:The Royal Anthropological Institute, Illustrating Anthropology,    https://illustratinganthropology.com/jennifer-cearns/Being Human Podcast, https://anchor.fm/public-anthropologistsWebsite - https://www.jennifercearns.com/

Today's episode is all about how Shayda's personal journey has shaped her priorities, and we're diving into some amazing perspectives on how we spend time in our lives.Shayda has been called one of the most influential Women in WordPress and now she's one of the women leading the cannabis reformation conversation building one of Texas' premier CBD brands.

Introducing the Being Human Podcast from Dr. Gregory Bottaro and the CatholicPsych Institute! It's a year of big changes from CatholicPsych, one of which is this podcast - tune in to hear all the news!

Today's episode of The Being Human Podcast is the fourth and final part in this letting go series during December, where I'm sharing the Top 4 Things to Walk Away From in 2020, and we're going to chat about the number one mistake we ALL make: Not trusting ourselves.Your intuition is your inner compass, the decision-maker that nudges you in the right direction, and the solution to every problem you face, but we can't access that superpower when our boundaries are in ruin and we aren't listening to what our intuition is telling us.We aren't trusting what it's saying or where it's guiding us.Trust. Is. Key.That's why this is going to be the year we see what happens when you finally start accepting yourself, walking away from the things that don't serve you, and making what you need non-negotiable.Resources and Links from the Show: Listen to Part 1 of this 4-Part SeriesListen to Part 2 of this 4-Part SeriesListen to Part 3 of this 4-Part SeriesTake my FREE quiz to find out how well you know yourself and where to start using that to skyrocket your biz success: https://www.vasavikumar.com/takethequizJoin the MIND Your Own BUSINESS community here: http://vasavikumar.com/membershipConnect with Vasavi on Instagram: @mynameisvasaviKey moments to tune in for:[3:12] What happens when you finally start accepting and trusting yourself[7:06] Assessing value in your life and how your priorities are contributing to it[10:20] Trusting your intuition and solidifying your foundation---------Vasavi Kumar leads the coaching industry with 10 years of experience and has helped thousands of women overcome major life obstacles to create new heights of success.

Let's be honest - we know there are things that have been weighing us down, especially in the year we've had. Well, today's episode of The Being Human Podcast is the first in a 4-part series during December, where I'm sharing the Top 4 Things to Walk Away From in 2020.We're always talking about setting goals for 2021, which is very important. I'm all for goal setting, but if we're still carrying baggage (especially from the havoc that was this year and the stories of our past), it's a lot harder to accomplish those goals. It's harder to even set those goals when you have so much weighing you down. So many of us stay in bad situations when we're dying on the inside. We want to run the other way, but we are so psychologically and emotionally dependent on the (false) sense of security that this thing - this person, this place, this job - gives us that we think we can't leave. But we can.You CAN.It sometimes feels terrifying, but I know that deep down, you know you deserve more. You deserve to walk away and right into something better.Today I'm sharing what I personally walked away from (that I may have stayed way too long in) and how to start figuring that out for yourself. Let's dive in.Resources and Links from the Show: Take my FREE quiz to find out how well you know yourself and where to start using that to skyrocket your biz success: https://www.vasavikumar.com/takethequizJoin the MIND Your Own BUSINESS community here: http://vasavikumar.com/membershipConnect with Vasavi on Instagram: @mynameisvasaviKey moments to tune in for:[5:00] Knowing your self worth: Walk away from feeling like it's your job to stay[11:00] Assessing value in your life and how your priorities are contributing to it[19:42] How to be okay with walking away and focus on the areas of life that you've been neglecting---------Vasavi Kumar leads the coaching industry with 10 years of experience and has helped thousands of women overcome major life obstacles to create new heights of success.

How can you bring more structure and discipline into your life?In this episode, my guest, Jordan Gill, highlights the importance of prioritizing oneself and getting to know what's essential or non-essential in one's life - be it with love, career or friendships. She stresses how vital it is to sort your work by date, urgency and sections. It is better to work with a few files that are essential, than with a year's worth of outdated papers and notices. Getting organized and knowing your essentials might just propel you to your goals sooner than you imagined. Jordan Gill, an operations consultant and founder of Systems Saved Me, helps overworked “one-woman shows” become streamlined solopreneurs. She is all about creating a cohesive operating system to organize your tasks, files, and inbox. Jordan helps women think differently about getting organized and being a well-directed, goal-oriented entrepreneur.
