“Each unconscious abdication of leadership in a relationship is a pin prick to her heart. Over the course of the years, thousands of these moments will scar or harden her. As time went by she and she felt your lack of presence, awareness, and attention to her body and feelings, she got angry.” – John Wineland

Power Quotes From The Show
What Love Wants
“There's what you want, what both of you and your partner want, and then what love wants. Tuning into what love wants may often be at the expense of what you want, sometimes at the expense of what your partner wants. Your capacity to tune into what love wants from a trustable place is a big part of masculine leadership.” – John Wineland
True Change
“No true change in behavior or thinking can come without an awakened body and an activated heart and a spacious mind.” – John Wineland
The Wisdom Of The Moment
“Stop doing, stop striving, stop practicing. Relax into receiving the wisdom of the moment through your body and wait for some intuitive thought, something to come through, some next move. Receive the wisdom of the moment. Whatever comes through you, it's coming from a deeper place than your habitual thoughts.” – John Wineland
