Finding vulnerability

10/26/20 • 30 min

Vulnerability is often elusive and just within reach, however, fear has a way of keeping us from showing our soft underbelly. Whether it is fear of the unknown or fear of being hurt - that four letter word keeps many from asking for help or even just reaching out for a person to talk to. When you are walking through the darkness that fear is magnified as your back is already against the wall.... Ironically, that is when you need to be vulnerable the most.
Mark & Kyle delve into this and share what they learned as they each uncovered how to be vulnerable and still continue to learn today.
Kyle leaned into his family and school friends - citing his thespian 'Alvernian' family helped him and gave him that shoulder to cry on and be there for him.
Mark learned to lean on his extended family and discovered a brotherhood of legendary dads via the Dad's Edge Alliance - Where hundreds of men walk through their lives together using Vulnerability as just one of their many tools to support each other.

Self care is often overlooked... especially when you are caring for your child
We often overlook ourselves when our children are ill. We burn the candle at both ends and drive ourselves to exhaustion - When your child is fighting for their life, this situation is compounded 100 times. You eat last, if at all and what you eat doesn't serve your body or your mind. You opt to not move or exercise, even more so when you are waiting for your daughter to wake up from her 3rd coma.
There are consequences to a caregiver not taking care of themselves and the lack of self care can turn disastrous.
In this episode, Mark goes into his realization while caring for his daughter Brooke at home and especially in the hospital. He shares how he started making slight changes to better himself while caring for Brooke so that he can be present with a sharper mind so he could advocate for Brooke.
Kyle shares the importance of mindful daily practice, such as meditation and his focus on nutrition to level up. There are always better choices when poor nutrition through convenience is no longer an option.
The Heart Math Institute is an amazing organization that has done extensive research into the heart and mind connection through Heart Rate Variability (HRV). The Inner Balance tool , Mark uses, is simple and can be used anywhere.
