The content we have discussed has come from education and research; Scriptural foundations; and even more, from the 1000s of individuals and couples whom I have worked with in a therapeutic setting.   Relationships are a matter of the heart, as much and more than they are an experience of the brain: A woman experiences herself as chosen through the security the man creates for her by being a Redeemer, Protector, and Provider, in that order. She can offer her dependency to the man in an authentic way if he brings these qualities. A man experiences himself as appreciated because he has brought his whole heart to the relationship, allowing vulnerability, availability, and gentleness to lead the internal life of the relationship.  In this way, the foundational needs of belonging and mattering are met through relationship.   The connected couple can build on the foundation of security and appreciation.    This couple will experience the future together, come what may, because their connection and commitment are based in the “pain tolerance” of the heart, not the “pain intolerance” of the brain. The brain seeks pleasure; the heart tolerates the pain of love.   Super Practical “Response-Abilities” After creating a foundation for understanding the emotional and spiritual needs of the relationship, the following reality needs to be grasped: A man's primary job is “customer service”! A man is created to serve others, especially his family.    A man serves best when he does the following three actions consistently: TCB: A man needs to “take care of business.” He needs to pay the bills before the frills. He needs to attend to the place they live, and oversee the management of property and vocation. Stay on Mission: A man needs to stay focused on whatever calling, role, or position he has been assigned to fulfill. In this way, he reinforces his own self-respect and shows himself to be dependable and trustworthy. Do Not Overly Need a Woman: A man does not need to overly need a woman. He must not pressure his spouse to be his constant emotional support. He knows he needs to get his needs met from peers who have the same experiences that all true men risk experiencing. He knows what the woman cannot do for him. Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

After we yield to the ways of love, we still need to learn them.   So much that we miss in life has to do with our hearts not being available to be “touched”: We are often not present enough in heart to be receptive to change or admit need for change.  The vulnerability that moves us to yield to help is mostly associated with negative rather than positive outcomes.  Jesus, however, clearly supports us yielding our hearts so that we can be a part of a yield or bountiful harvest.  Having the vulnerability to change and grow can create an opportunity for great benefits.    In Matthew 13, Jesus shared the story of the “Parable of the Sower” that speaks to us about the power of yielding or being vulnerable, which produces benefits. All relationships of consequence can benefit greatly from our willingness to face, feel, and deal with our hearts so that we can give and receive the love we need and others need.    Jesus also shared the “Parable of the Sower.” “Then he told them many things in parables, saying: ‘A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.'” “The disciples came to him and asked, ‘Why do you speak to the people in parables?'”  “He replied, ‘Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables:'” Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

But we cannot live fully unless we do so in relationship with ourselves, others, and God.   * That statement means that we must bring our hearts to daily relational life and involve ourselves emotionally and spiritually with others.    Many of us have not learned or have refused to allow ourselves to be vulnerable with how we are created. We tend to “run” from how we are created as feeling, needing, desiring, longing, and hoping people.    Surrender is Good To live fully we have to admit that we are powerless over how we are created. We do not need to run from ourselves; instead, we need to surrender to how God made us.    Surrender actually means to “render over,” as in give something back.    The goodness of surrender is that it returns us to how we are created. It also returns us to needing others and God, who created us to find fulfillment in relationship.    Surrender paradoxically allows us to reclaim our “anger” for life as we face that we are desiring, longing, hoping, wishing, wanting, yearning, hungering and thirsting people. Read my book, The Voice of the Heart and listen to Episodes #19 - Episode #20.   For a woman, to surrender is to know that she hungers to belong and matter through experiencing herself as secure.   For a man, to surrender is to know that he hungers to belong and matter through experiencing himself as appreciated.   Being Chosen A woman's security requires that she experience herself as chosen, as discussed in Episode 65.  She is not chosen on the basis of her appearance only, but on the content of her heart and character. She is chosen for “her.” She is chosen for how God made her. If a woman experiences herself as truly chosen by a man she desires to be with, she will have a strong tendency to appreciate the man who has chosen her.    Security leads a woman to be Appreciative.   Men Must Be Man Enough to Create Security If a woman experiences the relationship as a secure place to bring her vulnerabilities, joys, desires, needs, and struggles, she will experience “heart security;” she will have the experience of being chosen consistently reinforced.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

A woman's need to belong and matter is primarily met through security. A man's need to belong and matter is primarily met through appreciation.   A Woman Needs to Feel Secure in order to Appreciate a Man While each person is equally responsible, the man's initiation of security is crucial to create a healthy relationship. For the man to experience appreciation, the woman must first experience security.   Feeling Chosen Creates Security in a Woman The woman's primary security need is met through knowing, feeling, and having faith in experiencing herself as chosen. She is chosen above all other women.  She has confidence in knowing it, feeling it, and having faith in the future related to it.  To be chosen is to know that she has: A Redeemer: a man who can relate to her, grasp her needs, desire the full expression of how God created her, and treat her with gentleness, availability, and vulnerability. Episode #64   A Protector: a man who can create a place of safety and stability that is based on her trust in his integrity, allowing her to focus on being able to love without fear or demand.  A Provider: a man who can provide for her the necessities that quell the fear of her essential needs not being attended to.   This order is very important: It establishes a foundation of what a woman needs most.   It expresses a man's trustworthiness, his capability of relational intimacy, and his integrity. He is known as one who “says what he means and means what he says,” with an inner-focus on bringing his best to who he loves. He has a sense of his own dignity and self-respect.   This description is not about perfection; it is about growth and focus for a man. He cannot be more than perfectly imperfect. He can, though, live inspired to be the man God created him to be, by remaining dependent on God, and by relying on “growth-aid” from other men.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

What if the reason you're holding back isn't laziness or fear—but grief? In this episode, we explore the left side of the heart center through the lens of Biofield Anatomy, where unprocessed sadness and past losses can keep us from taking risks or opening our hearts again. We'll also talk about the “World Pain” construct—where empathic practitioners carry the weight of collective sorrow—and how harmonizing this energy can bring us back into flow.If your heart feels guarded, this one's for you.Join the Spring Reboot: Cultivate & Align collective Biofield Tuning experience on Saturday, April 26 at 9am PT.https://jillianfaldmo.com/springrebootAlso mentioned in the show:Eileen McKusick, Biofield TuningThe Dr. John Delony show podcast

Contact Bryan Barley for coaching at bryan@vothcenter.com.    We just concluded a podcast series called, “The Twelve Movements of a Man's Life.”   Although the series applies equally to women, I focused on men for three reasons: Men have a history of losing their focus as leaders, and not recognizing their importance to each other, their marriages, families, and society. There is a great need for men to be “response able” with their power, to avoid forms of being controlling and demanding and/or quitting when things become stressful. There is a need for men to continue to develop the capacities to live with integrity and passion, because society inherently depends upon the character of men to be vibrant.   Good men are essential and crucial to marriages, families, community and society. If good men don't rise, bad men multiply and societies crumble.    “The Twelve Movements of a Man's Life,” also presented a picture of the man that a woman needs and hopes will come into her life.    Every woman (who wishes to be with a man) seeks to: Be cared for by a man who can care. Be rendered secure by a man who is secure. Be protected by a man who will advocate for what is right. Be understood as a feeling creature, as a man knows himself as a feeling creature. Know that a man will give himself to a cause greater than her, without neglecting her.   Women and Men have to face certain realities in life: We are all works in progress. “Clumsy” or imperfect is as good as we will ever become. We are all like giraffes running on ice, as parents, spouses, children, leaders, etc. We have to live life on life's terms. We will have to learn how to struggle, deal with feelings, be in need, face loss and in spite of everything, love! We have to face that everything in life is about practice. Medical doctors are referred to as “practicing medicine,” just as lawyers practice law. We are all practicing daily, as parents, spouses, and people in general. We have to face that it really does take a lifetime to learn how to live. We never arrive at a place while we are living to say, “I know longer have to struggle with being human in an imperfect world.” Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

He steps into the mystery of the future with hope, fear, and faith.   Hope is the inextinguishable flame of life in all of us.   Fear is the feeling that lets us seek out and ask for help with life's struggles and questions.   Faith is the connection to God; and trust that our hope is not foolish, and our fear will be heard. Faith is “being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1 NIV)   Movement #1, “The Order of Love,” is the foundation for the other 11 movements. Episode 50    Movement #1 places the man in need of God, who created him and loves him. He is second, and he draws his strength, courage, and caregiving from God. One cannot give what he/she does not have. A man is created to deliver love to others, starting with his spouse and children (if he has them).   A man who trusts God will step into the future with hope, fear, and faith because he trusts that God wants to “grow” or develop him into all that he is created to become. He has also witnessed the experiences of God's presence in his life.   Movement 12 can take us in many directions; however, we will focus only on two: The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-10) show us the growth process of God. A process called Johari's Window show us what we need in order to grow.   The Beatitudes present us with a series of growth processes. Each “step” evolves into the next growth experience.    I wrote the book The Perfect Loss: A Different Kind of Happiness about the growth processes given to us in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5:3-10.   Two remarkable things about the paradox of the Beatitudes:   Jesus says that “Blessed” are those who surrender to and submit to a painful growth process.  The gift of the first Beatitude and the gift of the last one is the same gift, implying that a person has grown, much like an acorn grows into an oak tree.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

Download The Discipline of Restoring, and more, to continue the journey of living fully, loving deeply, and leading well. A leader needs inner strength and inner resources. I offer these resources to help people succeed.   A Man Knows He is God's Masterpiece: Every man is created to lead and needs inner-strength to do so; he needs to know how to get the strength he needs to fulfill his leadership responsibilities. Every man needs God and others to succeed. For his own personal fulfillment, every man needs to attend to his tasks, mission, and/or callings—all synonyms. A “job well-done” is gratifying. Every man (and woman) is created to live fully, love deeply, and lead well lives that others can benefit from long after the man has finished his career. The greatest treasure of a man's life is the value he leaves behind. Every man needs to recognize his importance and dependency upon the God who created him. A man has inherent God-created worth, and he is created to be in need.   What stops a leader from succeeding? Usually, he does not know his value, and he does not know his neediness; therefore, he doesn't develop the inner strength and inner resources to “stay the course” of his mission.    We are God-created; we need to depend upon Him and how he created us.    God created us to live with heart.    God created us as emotional and spiritual creatures, created to live fully through relationship with ourselves, others, and Him, as talked about in The Voice of the Heart and Needs of the Heart, by Chip Dodd.   Addiction takes us away from the heart of how we are created, because addiction is all about “avoiding” and “silencing” the heart.    Four powerful scriptures speak to our worth, our dependency on God who created us, and the importance of the heart: Ephesians 2:10. Psalm 139:13-16. Proverbs 4:23. Psalm 8.   Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) says, “For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”   The word “workmanship” testifies to God creating us specifically.    The DNA of the human being is 99.9% identical to all other human beings. We are created 99.9% the same emotionally and spiritually, as well as biologically and physiologically. We have also been gifted with a .01% uniqueness.   Click here to continue to read the episode highlights.

In addition, he needs to be aware of what he doesn't know so that he can grow into becoming all he is created to be.    This man seeks out the abilities of others so that he can accomplish his responsibilities.    No one knows everything, and therefore, we all need others' abilities.   Four Categories of Practicing Appropriate Authority: Every man is a leader if he loves someone, and/or has a goal or mission in life. Therefore, he has authority, which is more about a responsibility than a form of power. A leader definitely needs certain skills to accomplish his responsibilities; just as important, a leader needs to be a competent human being. A leader truly needs to know what he doesn't do well and know his limitations, so that he can reach out to others who have the abilities he needs in order to fulfill his responsibilities. A leader needs to be responsible with the power that is inherent in leadership. The power of delegation. The power of truth-telling. The power of delivering consequences.   Authority comes from the word author, which means that you have been given the ability and responsibility to communicate your assigned “mission.”   There are two kinds of authority Healthy authority is invitational. It grows trust and confidence in the “followers” because they know two things about their leader. They believe he desires their good or benefit, and they know that he is as much a servant of the “mission” as they themselves are. For example, the president of the United States' mission is to serve the Constitution. The truest leader knows that he is serving God as the top authority. Healthy authority invites the full participation of heart, mind, and abilities of a person. Unhealthy authority is subordinating. It is about exercising power over someone. It is inherently threatening because it focuses on “lock-step” obedience even more than the development of a team that can accomplish a mission. Unhealthy authority focuses on “obedient” performance over the full of investment of a person's presence of heart, mind, and abilities. Heart doesn't matter too much in an unhealthy authority system, only abilities.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

He desires to offer himself as a source of love to the people he loves. He lives with passion, which is a willingness to be in pain for something that matters more than pain.   Because a man has entrusted himself to God's order (as discussed in episode #50, Movement #1), he draws his strength and courage from God. He has a passion that is purposed, and he forms plans of fulfillment accordingly.   Passion >>> Purpose >>> Plan >>>   In reference to Plans, they are as big as the Passion. This means that a man continues to rely on God, because just as his passion is “bigger” than he is, so are the plans that he makes to fulfill the passion. For example, a father, in his old age, wants to see his children living fulfilling and purposeful lives; however, if his children live into old age and live a fulfilled life, he will certainly pass away without seeing the fulfillment of his plans.   Olympians are good examples of expressions of passion with a purpose. They give themselves to something worth being in pain over. Olympians are not a special breed, though very often they are uniquely gifted with certain specific giftings that they multiply with passion and purpose. In other words, we are all meant to be Olympians. We are all meant to give ourselves to something worth being in pain over.   We are all created to give ourselves to something greater than ourselves; this is an expression of being fully alive: producing, creating, shaping, planting, growing, and pursuing.   The man who grasps what is worth dying for invests in so much more than just his name being remembered. He invests in what outlasts him, without the focus on just his name being remembered or honored.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

They are movements that we live in for the rest of our lives, continuing to grow and learn as we do so. We never finish; hopefully, we grow and learn until we die.   In order for all 12 of the movements to work, it is essential that a man orders his life, as we talked about in episode #50. Man must place God first in his life and himself second. Without connection to God, he will eventually wear out and/or burn-out.   Movement #6 - A man identifies himself with mercy: He knows that but for the grace and mercy of God, he would not be “where he is.” He would not be able to identify himself with The Twelve Movements, and he would not be able to implement them.  Because he identifies his own need for mercy, having received it himself, he tends to be merciful and gentle without being weak. The need for mercy assumes that the man has known/knows feelings and needs, and that he has the humility to admit having feelings and needs. This man knows pain, and he doesn't run from it.   Pain comes from the Greek word pathos, which means feelings.  From our willingness to feel, we develop three other important characteristics that come from pathos:  We develop passion, which is a willingness to be in pain (have feelings) for something that matters more than the pain.  We also develop patience, which means the capacity to wait on our hopes to be realized.  With patience, we can delay gratification.  With passion, we can remain in pursuit of the results we seek.   People who run from pathos become pathological, which means sick. Feelings don't harm us, but running from them does.   The great achievements of life in art, literature, science, medicine, in society in general, have their origin in passion and patience.   Love itself relates to our willingness to have pathos.   Luke 10:25-37 tells the story of The Good Samaritan, a man who identifies with mercy.  The Good Samaritan had empathy, which means he had experienced pain; therefore, he could identify with the another's pain. Since he could relate to pain, he could have compassion for another who was in pain.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

Contact Bryan Barley for coaching at bryan@vothcenter.com.    Movement #5 is a matter of the heart, like every movement of The Twelve Movements of a Man's Life.    When a man walks in the dirt daily: He faces that he does not have control of life, and he cannot see the future; even so, he bravely walks into doing his duty/calling one day at a time.  If he has a vision of love and care for the people he offers himself to, he will go face the daily struggles of not having control; he knows that he is in charge of dealing with life on life's terms.  He maintains and sustains an attitude of courage that requires humility, or healthy shame. He must need others and God.   Philosophy meets real life in tangible ways: Care and Courage: For a man to “walk daily in the dirt,” he must bring care and courage to daily life and expresses what matters to him.  Tangible Action: His philosophy, character, ideas and ideals must have tangible action to be real and true.  Consistently Does: He consistently does what he claims matters to him.   Basically and practically, he takes care of business one step at a time: He gets sweaty and tired, through action of output. He grasps that passion means a willingness to be in pain for what matters. He knows that if he pours out, he must re-fill and replenish, to keep going. He takes responsibility for his self-care, to be able to continue to care.   Without passion, a person cannot truly be successful. It is essential. It means that you are able to feel, care, and ask for help.   Healthy Shame means that you show up daily to do your duty/calling. This requires the help of others. Every man needs the support, wisdom, care, and encouragement of other men. And, of course, a man needs God. We have Healthy Shame when we become aware that we don't have all the answers and need the help of others. Humility is an outcome of Healthy Shame. (Episodes #19 and Episode #20).

He knows in his heart that God is always faithful to His promises and is always present in the man's life  He grows in his faith starting with fear, which God gave us to: recognize our need for help hope for an outcome that “saves” me speak our needs face our powerlessness over life express our hopes   By using fear as God intended it to be used (Episodes # 19 and Episode #20), we actually grow our faith, from an infancy to a maturity.    By using our fear to reach out to God with our feelings, needs, desire, longings and hope, we begin to develop a trust in God's presence and action in our lives.   Fear can initiate this equation:  Fear Expresses Hope + Expression of Desire + Risk of Action = Outcomes that Develop Faith   A man needs to grow in:  dependence upon God how God created us how one is uniquely created   As a man (or woman) practices the equation, he finds that “infant” faith grows. In other words, infant faith begins to become “memories” of God's presence in his life.    Through practice over time, a man (or woman) develops a more mature faith that we can call “certainty.”   Infant faith is Hope + Expression of Desire + Risk of Action = Outcomes that Develop Faith.   Maturing faith is having memory of God's presence in the past.   Mature faith is certainty of God's presence even in the most difficult times.   When we feed the roots of the heart (feelings, needs, desire, longings, and hope), we grow the fruits of: living fully loving deeply leading well.    The roots of how God created us are expressed at birth. The APGAR (Episode #2 and Episode #3) speaks to how we come into life with rudimentary faith. We naturally reach for connection, safety, and fulfillment with a desire to grow.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights. 

Send us a textFor the first time on Fairfax, northern Virginia criminal / DUI defense lawyer Jonathan Katz's podcast, we have one of his former clients joining us. Susan Crane has engaged in four Plowshares peace actions and calculates that she has spent nearly a total of seven years of her life in jails and prisons. Jon Katz was honored to have co-counseled with Ramsey Clark and Anabel Dwyer in defending Susan, Jesuit Father Stephen Kelly, Elizabeth Walz, and Father Philip Berrigan in Susan's third Plowshares action, in 1999 hammering on two A-10 military aircraft, to convert them due to the depleted uranium missiles they were equipped to fire. Pretrial, Jon convinced the judge to dismiss the sabotage and conspiracy to commit sabotage counts against the defendants, leaving pending property destruction and conspiracy to commit property destruction counts, and an assault count against Susan that she got dismissed when the jury could not reach a verdict on that count. When the judge prevented the jury from hearing testimony from defense depleted uranium expert Douglas Rokke, the defendants dramatically shut down their participation in the trial. When prosecuted, Susan and all other Plowshares activists admit her actions, but insists that they were necessary and permitted under international law. We hear Susan's lessons for beating the prosecution from her heart-centered, engaging approach that cares deeply about everyone, including those who arrest her. She was ready to share information about depleted uranium with a soldier who was exposed to it. When hammering on material at a Lockheed Martin facility, Susan's fellow Plowshares activist Steve Kelly suggested that the employee in the room call security, lest he face job repercussions otherwise. That employee whispered to them that their action was courageous, and a circle of employees arrived and observed their actions, without stopping them, until security arrived. That is engagement. Susan is an active member of the Redwood City Catholic Worker. She has devoted her life to helping others, from peace actions, to Peace Corps work, to helping renovate squats. Jon encourages people to donate to a Catholic Worker center of your choosing.

Perseverance is that and more; it is the ability to fight back.   We are created to persevere, but we need to learn how, and we need help to know how. We have to practice asking for help.   A Man Remembers How He is Made:   A man needs to admit every day, with deep awareness, that he is not God, and is created by God. He did not create himself. He was created.   An inspired man, versus just one who is ambitious, knows that he is in service of something greater than himself, a mission that his heart is “called” to.   A man humbly faces his need of God, and he does not attempt to take credit for what he did not create.   Therefore, a man serves a higher authority and a higher purpose than himself, and he orders his life accordingly as was discussed in Episode #52.   In serving a higher authority and purpose, a man contends with three areas of struggle, as part of the purpose of living with passion, intimacy, and integrity. He brings full hearted presence into a society and “world” that often lacks the heart leadership. He brings advocacy; he speaks up for issues and people who suffer in silence or suppression. He brings order into chaos or destructive influences.   No man succeeds alone. He needs the help of others; he needs their encouragement, wisdom, and strength. He also needs God's encouragement, wisdom, and strength to keep him inspired to persevere in his purpose.   Surrender is vital for a man to succeed and persevere. Surrender does not mean defeat. The word means to “render over,” or “give back.”    Much of our society teaches self-reliance and self-sufficiency, when actually a man needs to hand himself over to God, as in surrender himself to God, to be the strength and courage that he needs to live his purpose.   A man who attempts to live self-sufficiently or with self-reliance only needs to surrender to God who can do so much more with His strength in a man than the man can ever do on his own.   The “Living with Heart” podcast series on Codependency is vital to grasping the difference between self-reliance and God-reliance.

We all have to live life on life's terms. Life is tragic and God is faithful. We have to struggle with that conflict, without becoming resigned or giving up. Everything in life is practice. We never get to stop needing to ask questions and learning how to live. It takes a lifetime to learn how to live. Remember that the movements are not a “twelve steps list.” They don't work as an ordinal ranking, checking one off and then going to the next, and then assuming that you are done.   The Twelve Movements of a Man's Life: offer a “path” not a “pill.”  offer a process of how to live so that a man offers his best to who he loves and what he loves.  require that a man submits to the reality of how life works. No one “beats” life or changes how it works.  Samuel Beckett said, “We are on earth, and there is no cure for that.” However, the courageous struggle to succeed in the midst of life's realities; therefore, the twelve movements are not about perfection, but about living with passion, intimacy, and integrity.   A man will leave a positive legacy when he is:  living fully loving deeply leading well This man will exhibit: passion intimacy integrity  A man must bring these three characteristics to each movement.   Remember that God controls the process of life. Listen to Episodes 23 and 24, “Trust the Process” Parts 1 & 2 for a better understanding.   A man or woman, who lives with passion, intimacy, and integrity is a competent person; therefore, a successful person.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

They are about bringing your heart, head, hands, and habits to your relationships and life. We build a lasting legacy one day at a time and one step at a time.    The Twelve Movements of a Man's Life focuses on the invitations, “response abilities,” and opportunities for men to see who they are created to be, so they can do what they are created to do.    A Reminder: We are all created to live fully love deeply lead well.    Both men and women are created with the desire to live with: passion intimacy integrity   Questions to ask yourself about living fully: Am I courageous? Do I bring my “full-hearted” participation to what I am doing? Am I curious? Do I ask questions so that I may learn more? Am I teachable? Am I compassionate? Do I have enough awareness of my own feelings and needs to identify and relate to others? The desire to answer, “Yes” to all three questions means you desire to be a competent human being.    Courage + Curiosity + Compassion = Competence   Men are called to:  “stand-up” to bring order into chaos “speak up” when no one is speaking up for what is just or merciful. “show up” to fill the void or absence of what is good or right. The Twelve Movements of a Man's Life: Movement #1  A Man orders his life following love's code God has directed us, allows us, and moves us to live life with these priorities. The Man's Life The Woman's Life God God The Man (Self) The Woman (Self) Spouse Children Children Spouse Friends Friends Mission Mission If a person is going to love anyone or any place, then they must be willing to suffer and feel all the feelings that come with love.    They also have to ultimately recognize that they are powerless over life. We have choice-making powers, but we don't have power over all the outcomes.   Love is worth it, and it is a contract of a willingness to be in pain.    Love hurts. Think of raising a child—all the concerns, fears, heartaches, joys, struggles, worries, sadness, celebrations, daily difficulties, hopes, and dreams.    A man is given opportunity and a calling to  live fully love deeply lead well   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

They are twelve movements that are about a man's whole life. They are processes that interlock and “circles” that join and move a man into wholeness and love and legacy.    The 12 Movements are about a man's character of heart and having actions that match his character in order that he leaves behind a positive legacy.   Men are created to become someone who practices a lifestyle of: Living fully Loving deeply Leading well a life that is worth treasuring by others   These three territories integrated create a positive legacy.   It is vital for a man to practice healthy anger as part of the lifestyle that we will be discussing in the following episodes.    For greater clarity about healthy anger, listen to “Living With Heart” Podcast  episode #19 and episode #20.    Also, read The Voice of the Heart by Chip Dodd   Healthy anger is a feeling that moves a person to live with passion. Passion is the gift we receive when we live our lives expressing healthy anger.    Passion is a willingness to be in pain for something that is greater than comfort or pain. It communicates that a person values the heart and cares about something greater than his own self-protection, and vulnerability.   Healthy anger moves us to care, hunger, thirst, hope, want, and desire. It moves us to deal with and express the truths of the heart. It expresses our willingness to be vulnerable enough to care about something.    “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)   A man is created to live with passion, even in a world that belittles it and mocks it.   A man who has passion is going to be on mission to accomplish that which he is moved from within to do.    A man is created to be capable of intimacy, or “into-me-see.” In other words, he is capable of sharing the truths of his heart.  He will accept his needs for the sake of mission.  He will accept that he will need help to accomplish his desires.  He will need other men in his life to help stay strong to care for his family.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

 While a certain level of stress can serve as a motivator, chronic and excessive stress can take a toll on both our physical and mental well-being. It's essential to recognize the detrimental effects stress can have on our bodies, particularly its role in triggering an increase in stress hormones and inflammatory chemicals. Dr Alain Bouchard, MD discusses with Dr. Martha Gulati, Director of Prevention & Associate Director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center, and the President-Elect of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology.

We want women to learn and have confidence in seeing and expecting men to be who they are created to be.    I created these twelve movements over 15 years ago when I was in my early 50s. I knew that I was not old enough to present them with assurance, because I had not witnessed them as a “lived experience” yet—even though I knew they were true.    I am now more of a witness to how extraordinarily true and vital they are for our society, for families, for marriages, for mission, for men in community with other men, and for a man with God.    I learned these truths and concepts from the thousands of men, couples, and families that I have worked with while running my treatment center and in my own  consulting/mentoring practice that I started in 2019. This material is the culmination of work that began in 1988, if not before!   These twelve movements are not a list that a person checks off, completes the next step, and then gets his diploma. These movements are actually real processes, or interlocking circles that expand over a lifetime. They are never completed. They only end when the man's life ends.   This episode lays the foundation for the twelve movements to follow:   We are all feeling creatures. We feel, need, desire, long and hope; and we imagine our lives being fully lived related to our feelings. We are all emotionally and spiritually created to do one thing in this life, to live fully (all purpose in life begins from the desire to live fully). We are literally born to find full life in relationship with ourselves (our own hearts and heads connected), with others, and with God. We are not created to “do” life alone. Neuroscience has “caught up” enough to verify and validate what has always been true. We are connection seeking creatures. We come out of the womb looking for who is looking for us. We find fulfillment through connection. Unlike all other mammals, we as human beings can attempt to run from or deny how we are created. We can attempt to use our “heads” to deny our heart's makeup—to avoid vulnerability. We can use our minds to avoid engagement with the feelings, needs, desire, longings, and hopes of the heart. When we do so, we isolate ourselves from each other, our own makeup, and God. We all look to connect in three ways: (a) we all need to belong and matter; (b) we all seek safety and care; (c) we all crave the experience of being fully alive.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

One of the team members to consider on your menopause journey is a preventive cardiologist. While your GP or internist may be ordering annual labs for you, they are not experts in lipidology. Most women will see their cholesterol increase steadily during the menopause transition and not have the proper labs taken to assess their cardiovascular disease risk, which is the leading cause of death among women (and men). That risk increases significantly after menopause. This phase of life brings not only physical and hormonal changes but also heightened vulnerability to heart disease. In this episode, we explore how menopause influences heart health and why it's essential for women to be proactive about their cardiovascular wellness. We discuss the hormonal shifts that affect everything from blood pressure to cholesterol. We will also discuss the impact of family history, and genetics and what labs and tests are crucial for assessing your risk. We discuss the ongoing debate over using estrogen as a tool for heart disease prevention versus statins. Dr. Martha Gulati, MD is a preventive cardiologist with a long, impressive list of accolades. To name a few, she is the Past President of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology, professor of cardiology at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, and the associate director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center. She holds the Anita Dann Friedman Endowed Chair in Women's Cardiovascular Medicine and Research. She is the author of the best-seller, “Saving Women's Hearts”. Her exceptional commitment to studying women and cardiac diseases has won her numerous awards and distinctions, including being named by Crain's Chicago Business as one of Chicago's Top 40 under 40. She was a co-investigator in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). She has published articles in peer-reviewed publications, including The New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation, and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Contact Bryan Barley for coaching at bryan@vothcenter.com.    Welcome back and Happy New Year's Eve!   We are talking about the real meaning of resolution, what many us set our minds to focus on in the first of every year. We often fail not too long after we commit ourselves to some New Year's resolution. There is a reason we often give up on our promises and commitments to ourselves.    We deal with that today: What sets us up to fail, and how do we actually succeed.   New Year's Day is often a marker day, one in which we look towards the future and ask significant questions: What do I want to happen? What do I want to achieve? What do I imagine? What do I desire?   Out of the answers to the questions, we set up markers and set our sights on getting to the goal lines of our hopes and dreams.    We often fail, not because we lack desire or good intentions. We fail because we attempt to achieve certain things with tools that do not work, starting with a mistaken understanding of what a resolution is.   We have been trained to think that a resolution means that I need to become hyper-focused, and that I need to become bound and determined through will power to achieve the goal. The mistaken teaching actually sets us up to fail.    Failure occurs in the following way: The phrase “bound and determined” literally means to be “tied up” or “bound,” by being constricted, or not free.  I actually become deterred (discouraged) by the very determination I think will bring success.  Being bound means to be tied up, and determined becomes deterred, or stalled, from the very success I have resolved to achieve.  Being tied and deterred is not the way to success.   By going back to the word resolution and grasping its real meaning, we can start down a path of accomplishing what we seek.   Resolution actually means: To re-solve, literally to untie what has become a knot.  Resolve means to re-decide, to untie myself from something that binds me or stops me from having the life I seek.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

We are very grateful to you and also grateful that so many of you have shared this podcast with family and friends. We hope for many more listeners in the coming year because we deeply believe in what we are offering and how it can do for people.   I have never tired of or even thought I knew all the depths of The Spiritual Root System, even after all the years that I have been talking and teaching about it. We truly are created as emotional and spiritual creatures, created to find fulfillment in relationship. What seems so basic now, to almost everyone, sounded foreign to many, many people in 1991 when I began to communicate the power of surrendering to how we are created.   About 15 years ago, neuroscience research began to validate the material I have been talking about. The material I talk about is ancient, has always been true from the beginning, and is amazingly Biblical.    It is a reliable scientific material, and yet even more, it is faith-based proof of the existence and goodness of God.   We are “heart” people who have the addition of intellect that develops over time after birth.    We are born as “heart” people, and we are all created the same way.    This fact sets the stage for the actions of a loving and moral people. When I look at you, I am looking at myself, in terms of being a feeling, needing, desiring, longing, and hoping creation.    This factor allows me to recognize the benefit of practicing the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12). As our sameness allows us to develop conscience, we can bless each other.    The more we deny our sameness, the more we harm each other. Of course, no matter what, we are going to still need to seek forgiveness; we are going to harm each other.    We have truly entered a new era, one of the heart.    Click here to continue reading episode highlights.

This wonderful book deals a lot with gratitude that can come from loss and grief.    Gratitude Works and Little Book of Gratitude by Robert Emmons. These two very practical books were written by Emmons, a researcher who has studied the benefits of gratitude, how to develop it, and sustain it.   When we experience life as a gift, then we, as the receivers of the gifts in life, naturally have gratitude. Emmons and others have shown that having gratitude benefits our emotional and spiritual lives, as well as our physical well-being and our prosperity. Gratitude multiplies itself with its impact. When we yield to being in need of others and God, and experience the effect of needing, we receive a yield, or a harvest of benefits.   Not only do we have an expectation of good things in our lives, we also are able to recall good things in times of trouble. For example, recalling or remembering times when we received something good can help us persevere in troubled times. We can hang on to hope because of remembering.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

In this final episode, we will look back over our first year of “Living with Heart: From Birth to Death.”   We will start the new season December 31 with a new episode that focuses on New Year's Resolutions.   What is gratitude and how do we experience it?  Three factors play a part in experiencing gratitude.   Gratitude begins with our needs. God created us with an abundance of needs.    Whether we like it or not, we are “needy” creations of God.   Having our needs addressed and fulfilled is how gratitude occurs.     Our needs cannot be fulfilled without being in need of God and others.   Gratitude is experienced through relationship.   Needs are covered in great detail in: Needs of the Heart by Chip Dodd “Living with Heart: From Birth to Death” podcast, episodes 2-16    The 3 factors that summarize our essential needs are: We all desire to belong and matter. We all seek safety and care. We all crave to experience a full life.   Being in need or being “needy” is not a bad thing or a weakness. It is a human experience over which we are actually powerless.   We are created in ways that we cannot change. We can run from how we are made, but that does not change how we are created.    Many of us are trained to believe that having needs means you are weak.   Most people see having needs as: a weakness. putting yourself in danger of being rejected. a negative experience that can keep them from belonging and mattering. a negative experience that can keep them from being safe and cared for. an experience that will keep them from having a full life.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

Order now, the devotional begins December 1st.   The reason for this podcast is because for people to have more life, more fulfillment. The things  talked about here, and the materials referred to, are about knowing the language and content of your heart, and what that can do for you. It won't stop pain, but helps you know what to do about it. It certainly doesn't promise perfection or even happiness. But knowing the language and content of the heart helps people develop the ability to live life on life's terms, with all of its heartbreak and heartache that conflicts with our craving for life without tragedy.     Our goal is for people to experience time in this life as Kairos, which means to experience your life emotionally and spiritually, fully participating in living, rather than Chronos, which means just getting life over with, letting the clock run down.   If we don't allow ourselves to live emotionally and spiritually connected, then we have to find an escape or addiction.    Without living in Kairos, we are simply on a race to the grave. Codependency recovery moves us into Kairos.    Because there has been so much misunderstanding about the proper use of feelings, there is a rising backlash against the importance of facing, feeling, and dealing with life by being able to be “response-able” with feelings.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

It also allows us to rediscover our true self and how to live out of it. The ego is the mask we wear to cover up our vulnerability and neediness, and our boundaries.   This episode particularly focuses on the path of recovery, returning to how you are created and to the God who created you.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

We have to admit that we are actually powerless over the symptoms we have talked about. We must admit that we need an emotional and spiritual “makeover.”   We must face that codependency is not a habit, one that we can just change by conscious action only, or mindfulness. It actually fits into the criteria of an illness, a disease.   Medical Definition of Disease: A morbid process (meaning destructive to health), with a characteristic chain of symptoms, of known or unknown origin, that are chronic, progressive, and can be fatal.   The disease of codependency is driven by stress. Many physicians have reported to me that the causes of most of the illnesses that are presented to them are stress-based sicknesses of not knowing how to live. In other words, the patient does not know what to do with or how to process feelings.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

There isn't a quick, easy “fix” for overcoming codependency. The reality of having to take a path, rather than have a “pill fix,” is sad. The reality is that it takes a lifetime to learn how to live.   Codependency recovery is a great path to move us from surviving to thriving.  The question is, “How are we going to live?”   Symptom #13  Restricted Emotional Development Restricted emotional development is grounded in the fear of being labeled as inferior because of what we do not know or have not learned.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

Contact Bryan Barley for coaching at bryan@vothcenter.com.    Episode Highlights:    “Confusion about Toxic Shame and Guilt”   Codependency is not your fault, but it is your responsibility to deal with. Even though we have been “taught” to rid ourselves of how God made us, it does not give us permission or the right to stay there. It is a sickness that we have, and we have the responsibility to find the healing.   Codependency is the loss of how God made us, with self-awareness, self-trust, self-care, being sensitive to our own true feelings, loss of learning how to respond to our feelings in a healthy way; it is the loss of self-worth—given over to the needs of significant others who are uncomfortable with themselves, or self-rejecting.    Codependency recovery is not selfishness; it is “Self-fullness.” Self-fullness is having enough of who God created us to be that we have the ability to give our gifts to a world in need.   The need to belong and matter is so powerful that we are going to find a way to get those needs met—through suppression or expression.   Expression has to be grown and matured, so codependency recovery does take time and investment.   Each of the symptoms that we have discussed in this podcast is from the work of Timmen Cermak, in his book Diagnosing and Treating Codependency. The descriptions and following work are from my own experiences.   Codependency is pervasive, a pandemic, and all the relief-seeking addictions we can name have their origin and influence in codependency.   Symptom #12  Confusion About Toxic Shame and Guilt Toxic shame is grounded in never being able to do anything “right enough,” or be right enough to be loved, or have the “right” to receive mercy.   In toxic shame the confusion between shame and guilt is birthed in the mistaken belief that I should be able to not mess up; not make mistakes; should not have to need mercy; should be able to be perfect. It is the belief that only perfect people can be loved. If I am not perfect, I am “worth-less” and cannot be loved.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.
