Completely new universes and deeper awarenesses can arise when we gather in sacred intimate conversations. That's why this podcast is in its 13th season!  I knew how grateful I am for Marina's videography and photography at my last 4-5 retreats. I'm aware of how inspired I am at the personal, parental, spiritual and professional evolution I've witnessed coaching her and the gift of her vulnerability to our coaching community. I'm grateful for the contribution of her mastery in the realm of water rituals for my clients at retreats.  However it wasn't until we sat down for this podcast that we really felt the massive impact of all these years working together, the impact on our friendship, sisterhood, professional relationship, personal and collective evolution. It's so good to reflect! Without reflection, the profound impact of these experiences stay concealed, like a hidden ripe fruit that we never got to sink our teeth into! Syncing our teeth into our glorious journey together, we also discussed... -How the first time I hired her, a client had made unconscious comment that pierced Marina's heart and I made sure to address it, integrate it and include her in the group's transformation- she felt safe and seen. -How exquisite it was to have her lead a couples water ritual in Costa Rica utilizing underwater photography and community to further bond and celebrate sacred partnership (setting the stage for a secret engagement proposal!) -How a client also in the film industry, publicly honored all the work Marina had done, the work of 7 to 10 people, and how extraordinary she is flowing in and out of her masculine and feminine energies -How our trust has grown over the years such that she stepped into support a client during a process where I was helping someone else. We felt each other having each other's back in combined service to my community- what a gift. -How we are no different than any other relationship, having a rupture that we repaired that led to the deepest bonding we ever shared as if we were two goddesses in a temple, downloading wisdom from the cosmos sitting beside the infinity pool on the beach in Isla Mujeres. -How my mentorship as an entrepreneur, a woman several decades older than her, yet also a woman of great vulnerability, transparency and honesty, has been a safe place for her to continue to grow over time, ending an old pattern of leaving if things got uncomfortable. -How her commitment to stay year after year coaching in my community has supported her sitting in the fire in her current romantic relationship while deepening her own relationship with herself in the face of anything, so inspiring! ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could talk to my younger self, what vital lessons would I share about fatherhood?" "Is my 'tough guy' exterior actually holding me back from truly connecting with my kids?" "What does it really mean to lead my family with emotional authenticity?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an unfiltered, insight-packed conversation that hits at the very heart of modern fatherhood: modeling emotional openness, prioritizing genuine connection, and reimagining what leadership truly looks like at home. Today, Larry Hagner sits across the table from his son Ethan Hagner. Their deeply touching exchange is a powerful reminder of how universal the struggles of growing up and parenting really are, driven by Larry's determination to provide a steady, affectionate home—a stark contrast to his own chaotic upbringing. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this unfiltered, insight-packed conversation, we dig into: Asking for Help as a Strength: Why vulnerability and reaching out for support are ultimate acts of courage, challenging the traditional "tough guy" parenting narrative. Empathy Over Solutions: Ethan shares his journey learning to be a better listener, especially in his relationship with his girlfriend, recognizing that people often want understanding and empathy more than immediate fixes. The Power of Authentic Connection: Larry and Ethan emphasize that genuine presence and open communication are direct drivers of influence in the home, making attempts to motivate or discipline kids far more effective. The "Marriage-First" Household: A candid discussion on the profound difference a strong, loving parental relationship makes in children's development and present-day family life, even if it means "grossing the kids out with love." Don't Hold It In: The crucial message to express pain, stress, and affection openly, allowing your family to see the full, real you for true psychological safety and peace. This episode offers profound wisdom and practical takeaways for any dad looking to build a legacy of emotional health and connection. Here's what research and observation highlight about emotional openness in families: Children raised in homes with high parental emotional openness report a 35% increase in emotional intelligence and resilience. Parental modeling of asking for help is correlated with a 40% higher likelihood of children seeking support when needed, reducing feelings of isolation. Families in which parents prioritize and visibly demonstrate a strong marriage report children with 25% higher levels of emotional security and social adjustment. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

Come join us for the 3rd installment in this very special series dedicated to men's mental health. Come join me and three special men of my life, Walt McKinley, Lee Hite, Paul "Roscoe" White, as we get raw and vulnerable talking all things masculinity and the journey of healing and loving ourselves in spite of challenging and sometimes overwhelming circumstances. Now more than ever it's important and vital for strong men to share their real selves with one another as we breakdown and breakthrough our struggles with our own mental health. Come join what will be a powerful conversation as each of us shares our own respective challenges with finding balance between being masculine without the egoic toxicity many men suffer from. More importantly, the how, what, why, and everything in between to ensure our successful growth during challenging periods of our lives. Please bring your questions and engagement to the conversation! We're all in this together and our goal is to inspire you and your boys to get together and talk about your challenges without fear of judgment etc! We are four strong, successful, and very heart-centered guys who aren't perfect and have challenges just like everyone else. Together we can all raise awareness of the strength and resiliency all residing in our own selves in any moment we need it. REQUEST: Please please share this out so other men can see they are NOT alone in this life and together we can all rise stronger and more aware of the tools available when we need them!

In the continuation of their conversation, Mark and “El Paso” Sam Trimble continue their thought-provoking dialogue, exploring the intersection of AI, faith, creativity, and human connection. They reflect on how meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and small acts of kindness can ripple through communities and change lives. They share personal stories about love and legacy, the power of music in community bonding, and the value of long-form conversations in understanding complex ideas. The discussion also touches on overcoming fear, embracing change, and the significance of intentional conversations in fostering connections. Keep up with Sam on his webpage! Takeaways Faith is a deeply personal concept that varies for everyone. Every friend was once a stranger, emphasizing the importance of connection. Being open to conversations can lead to unexpected friendships. Differentiation in business is crucial for success. Small acts of kindness can create a butterfly effect. The universe provides opportunities when we are open to them. Creativity can be enhanced through technology and innovation. Personal touch in business fosters loyalty and repeat business. We are all capable of being the change we want to see. Graduation signifies a new beginning, not an end. Living authentically means embracing vulnerability. Constructive criticism can lead to personal growth. Mentorship plays a crucial role in guiding others. True love leaves a lasting legacy. Music has the power to unite communities. Long-form conversations provide depth and understanding. Embracing change is essential for growth. Fear often holds us back from taking the first step.

If you want to keep your heart safe, you must give it to no one—but it'll cost you life's deepest fulfillment. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how Bhakti Vedanta reveals vulnerability not as weakness, but as the key to spiritual growth and the soul's highest potential. They reflect on a striking quote from C.S. Lewis and discuss how the fear of emotional exposure drives many toward impersonalism, while the path of Bhakti embraces risk as sacred. Real love always carries the risk of pain—but in the fulfillment of Bhakti, that pain transforms into something divine. #BhaktiYoga #Vedanta #SpiritualPath #WisdomOfTheSages #CSLewis #DivineLove #VulnerabilityIsStrength #LoveAndSpirituality #BhaktiVedanta SB 10.3.28-35 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this insightful episode of "Father and Joe," Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks delve into the complex yet enriching journey of cultivating trust and fostering meaningful relationships with ourselves, others, and God. They explore the intricacies of trust—how it's built step-by-step through integrity, dependability, and consistency, and how it's intrinsically linked to vulnerability. The hosts candidly discuss the challenges around rebuilding trust, especially for those who have experienced trauma, and highlight the importance of being open to growth in relationships.Father Boniface provides a profound perspective on how our daily, seemingly simple interactions are rooted in unexpected levels of trust. Whether navigating a complex journey through a foreign market or simply shopping at a local store, trust silently governs many aspects of our lives. Joe emphasizes that understanding trust starts from within, analyzing our past interactions, and being conscious of the behaviors that foster or hinder relational growth.Listeners are invited to envision their relationships as a canvas, where the practice of mental preparation can be as impactful as the actions themselves. Drawing parallels from sports, Joe illustrates how champions attain mastery not only through physical prowess but through mental agility—foreshadowing their moves and understanding their counterparts' strategies. This analogy extends into relational dynamics, where understanding others' preferences can significantly enhance our interactions and emotional bonds.The conversation further deepens into self-reflection's role in improving relational and spiritual lives. It highlights Pope Francis's teachings on losing touch with our hearts due to societal distractions, advocating for a slower pace that allows for introspection. The two hosts reiterate the need for reflecting on questions of identity, purpose, and divine relationship to maintain a more fulfilled and engaged life.Father Boniface and Joe eloquently conclude that just as much—or even more—growth occurs through thoughtful reflection and genuine communication. They underline that life's challenges invite us to continuously learn, adapt, and nurture our relationships spiritually and interpersonally.This episode serves as a compelling reminder that opening our hearts and minds can transform relationships, weaving trust into the very fabric of our lives. By integrating these elements into our daily practices, we not only enrich our connections with others but also create more space for a profound union with God.Tags: Spiritual Direction, Relationship Building, Trust Development, Self-Reflection, God, Faith Journey, Mental Preparation, Personal Growth, Prayer Practice, Relationship Dynamics, Emotional Intelligence, Trust in Relationships, Vulnerability, Integrity, Dependability, Spiritual Growth, Building Trust, Emotional Connection, Mindfulness, Personal Relationships, Communication Skills, Trustworthiness, Self-Awareness, Reflection, Spirituality, Overcoming Trauma, Religious Guidance, Heartfelt Conversations, Everyday Trust, Relationship Skills, Emotional Growth, Connection with God, God's Will, Christian Faith, Relationship Analysis, Spiritual Practices, Church Life, Engaging Faith, God's Teachings, Podcast SeriesHashtags: #FatherAndJoe #SpiritualDirection #Trust #RelationshipBuilding #FaithJourney #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #Communication #EmotionalIntelligence #TrustInRelationships #Vulnerability #Integrity #Dependability #SpiritualGrowth #Mindfulness #PrayerPractice #ConnectionWithGod #ChristianFaith #EmotionalConnection #UnderstandingOthers #GodsWill #RelationalDynamics #ReligionAndFaith #HeartfeltConversations #PersonalRelationships #SpiritualPractice #EverydayTrust #RelationshipAnalysis #SelfAwareness #GodsTeachings #FaithAndLife #FaithPodcast #ReflectiveLiving #BuildingTrust #OvercomingTrauma #EmotionalGrowth #EngagingFa

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine.

Was I too vulnerable in my recent homily? I always debate about the wisdom of sharing stories that involve my personal life. I only preached this homily at one Mass but now it's out on the web and anyone can listen. What will people think of me?

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Thom Barrett—author, adventurer, former PwC partner, and terminal cancer survivor—on what it really means to live while dying. Thom shares how facing Stage 4 prostate cancer has deepened his purpose, strengthened his emotional clarity, and opened a path of profound vulnerability and meaning. From redefining masculinity to writing his way through grief, Thom reminds us that joy is a choice and adventure isn't just about climbing mountains—it's about how you meet each moment. This isn't a story about survival. It's a conversation about living deeply, even when the clock is ticking. About the Guest: Thom Barrett is a storyteller, former PwC partner, cancer warrior, and author of five soul-stirring books including Living While Dying and The Strength of Surrender. With a background in business and a heart rooted in service, Thom now spends his time writing, mentoring, and living intentionally. His mission is to inspire others to embrace life's uncertainty with presence, gratitude, and courage. Key Takeaways: Adventure is a mindset—not a location. It's about engaging with life, especially when it gets hard. Vulnerability is strength. Thom redefines what it means to be a strong man—one who shares, connects, and asks for help. Journaling can save your life. Writing helped Thom process grief, depression, and ultimately transformed into published books. Purpose doesn't end with diagnosis. Thom lives each day to give back, speak truth, and inspire others on their path. Joy is a choice. Unlike fleeting emotions, joy is cultivated through intention and gratitude, no matter the circumstances.   Connect with Thom Barrett:Website: LivingLifeWhileDying.comSubstack: Living Life While DyingEmail: 123.thom.barrett@gmail.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
