Podcasts about company you keep

Your phone is always there. Someone is always one click away. There's always noise, distraction, or something to scroll. But then you turn it all off. And suddenly it's just… you. No notifications. No escape. No background noise to hide in. And that silence can feel surprisingly uncomfortable.Why is it so hard to simply be alone with ourselves? And what if being alone isn't the same thing as being lonely? Join me as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.

I was listening to Alex Elle's most recent Insight Timer meditation series, and on day five of the series, she talked about ways of being and relationships being obsolete- not all in a bad way, but in a “ sometimes you evolve, and that makes things obsolete”.Or maybe this was my reflection as I did said meditation, based on her new book The Company You Keep. Either way, I went down a deep dive of what it means to be obsolete or be made obsolete, especially in this current moment. And since I do care a whole lot about how gentrification has played into that feeling of being obsolete, that's what I want to share with you this week.I share a lot of big thoughts around people, places, and things every week, with the aim to build a culture of stewardship and community, no matter your zip code. Make sure you're subscribed so I'm always in your inbox. And even better, help me get my last few books shipped and more ordered to be gifted by becoming a paid subscriber!So much of the concept of obsolescence is rooted in the idea of controlled or planned obsolescence, which forces us to give up things that are actually good, but not to capitalists and oligarchs that need us spending constantly.Reflecting back on my experience with losing jobs and contracts, which then made me too depressed to go to work, which then made so it was harder to pay our household bills, including our rent, then losing what I thought was a dream apartment, I came to the following conclusion.Gentrification is planned obsolescence when it comes to place and culture.Policy leaders can aid major developers in claiming that a neighborhood is a slum, then tearing it down and building over it, but only because said neighborhood has a lot of Black bodies doing well.Some Black communities have watched lands sit vacant for up to 30-60 years, because those who decided they were unworthy to have community wanted to wait to build on it when the money is “right”.And yes, even when someone loses access to income from a job, it's still gentrification because often the person who is being replaced at work is Black or another undesirable person of color, disability, or gender/sexual diversity. Many companies that think like this will hire someone for said diversity, until the money gets funny because it takes time to build on that diversity, or they do the work better than expected, but jealousy builds up because the racism of expecting your non-white employees to do worse than you was exposed. Then the company dumps everyone back out, and makes them struggle to pay their rent or mortgage; then the landlords and mortgage companies protecting their investments dump them out of their house.And before you claim that racism isn't always a factor, so much of our working world is built on white supremacist cishetero patriarchal capitalism. Anyone trying to contort themselves to fit that mold in the pursuit of not being obsolete, while not being fully embodied as a white cis straight racist patriarchal capitalist, is going to be obsolete, but then possibly spiritually bankrupt!So many of us who lost our jobs in 2025, many with stellar work records and without prior warning, are really feeling this pain. Especially if for a hot minute, you did try to contort yourselves a little bit and you're trying to regain your spirit and soul from the near purging.I'll admit that over the years, I had been taught certain ways of contortion, and they worked for a little while. But, later down the line, I've also been in situations where I've always done the right thing, and it still wasn't enough. Both are painful for us as Black folks.I wrote The Defying Gentrification Playbook especially for you, because I'm determined that none of us will be made obsolete, no matter what kinds of sacrifices we made to try to fit the mold.Take a moment to grab your copy and support my Bookshop storefront. Or ask your favorite Black and/or queer bookstore to order The Defying Gentrification Playbook. Those who ordered way back in November, we are finally shipping and hand-delivering; your wait is almost over!I also don't want us to be luddites, but the way this change is happening is similar to what the original Luddites went through, and it's tempting!Having had this lived experience of losing my job for saying no to being complicit, especially this past year, I often feel like a luddite in the midst of this conversation around how gentrification is supposed to be a net positive.I've heard for years from middle-class Black folks across the diaspora that gentrification is what we need, after we “tore up our own neighborhoods”.Never mind that tearing up came from a rage of being made obsolete, after already having been enslaved into labor that we didn't choose, denied reparations for how said system wreaked havoc on us across multiple continents.And in this current moment, we are supposed to be ok with not being needed at jobs, because we don't look or sound right or we do too much.How the machines are supposed to do us better, at work and selling products on and offline and on music streaming sites.And when it is a human involved, they better be as thin, light, white, and docile as possible.Somehow I'm supposed to make enough money to pay the rent, and then eventually qualify for a mortgage in this environment.If I do speak up for human rights, I need to do it as an ally, or I need to do it next to a white partner or with the bloodied flag of fighting for “my” country or with perfect grammar or diction. Stop stimming so much, so I don't look like one of those people.Or all of the above, all at once; otherwise I am obsolete.And said obsolescence is the plan.Again, I decided that I'm going to build my own plan as a shield. A Playbook. And even if no one else buys it, it's at least my spiritual compass.I'll hold it in the fiery furnace, and neither it nor me will burn down or be put out.We will emerge victorious, smelling nothing of smoke.The machines and their makers will be melted and of ash beside me.Our bellies will be full, and our heads will be sheltered, comfortably.And everyone who refuses to conform to obsolescence and everything that makes this Earth an ecosystem without extraction will continue to thrive!Until next time,Kristen Get full access to Defying Gentrification, Crafting Liberation at theblackurbanist.substack.com/subscribe

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. But what happens when you decide to live a healthier, happier, and kinder life, and you realize your current circle isn't on that same path? In this episode, we are going to explore the profound psychological influence our 'tribe' has over us, how to recognize when a group is holding you back, and how to finally find the people who reflect the life you actually want to live.

We're talking about what it looks like to actually care about the things of God again. Not just saying we do, but living in a way that shows it. It requires a hard and honest look at our lives, our habits, our relationships, and asking, “Is this pulling me closer to Jesus or further away?”We get into John 14 and 15 and the reminder that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that apart from Him, we can do nothing. Not “not much”… nothing. It's a wake-up call and an invitation at the same time. Staying connected to Him isn't just a nice Christian phrase. It's the only way to have a life that actually feels rooted, peaceful, and purposeful.We also talk about cleaning house in a practical way. Boundaries. Saying no. Stepping back from environments that make it harder to stay close to God. Being more protective of your inner circle and more passionate about time in the Word. Not in a legalistic way but in a life-giving way. And here's the shift I'm learning: if something falls away because you chose obedience, you didn't lose it. You made room for something better. Sometimes following Jesus feels like pruning, but it always leads to growth. If you've been feeling a pull to go deeper, simplify, and get serious about your faith again, this episode will feel like a conversation you didn't know you needed.Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/hopemoquin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsoredBook a call - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://stan.store/hopemoquin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/hopemoquin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TIKTOK - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@hopemoquin

"Unentitled" It's hard to think of anyone who writes with as much tender ease as John Gorka. The New Jersey-born singer/songwriter has been doing just that since his first album way back in 1987. Over the course of nearly twenty albums, including Jack's Crows, The Company You Keep, Old Futures Gone and his brand new one Unentitled, Gorka has gracefully asserted himself as one of the most vital folk artists around. He's traveled the world, he's played with Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin and Cliff Eberhardt and he formed the folk supergroup Red Horse with his pals Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson. Unentitled is yet another winning entry into the Gorka discography--a stirring collection of songs like the elegant "First Snow On The Mountain," the ruminative "A Light Exists In Spring" and the deeply assuring "Hope Doesn't Fall," Unentitled is filled with poetic and philosophical grace. And what I was saying at the top of the show is that Gorka is a thoughtful and humble guy who's generous, humble and kind. You're going to love him. www.johngorka.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

The REAL Cause of Low Desire & ED (It's Not Just "Low T") | Prime Podcast Ep. 348 This is the "hard conversation" about men's sexual health that most people are afraid to have. In this powerful episode of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies argue that the mainstream focus on "Low T" and "Erectile Dysfunction (ED)" medication is just a band-aid for a much deeper, more alarming epidemic: a crisis of low arousal and desire. This problem is no longer just for older men; it's affecting men in their 20s and 30s, directly linked to plummeting men's infertility rates and ruining relationships. Dr. Skip pinpoints overstimulation and desensitization from pornography as the primary cause, creating a "disease in the mind" that real-world intimacy can't compete with. Learn the steps to break this cycle, re-sensitize your brain, and reclaim genuine intimacy. Key Takeaways / In This Episode: * (04:06) Why "Low T" pills and ED medication don't fix the core problem of low arousal. * (04:46) The #1 cause of psychological desensitization in men. * (07:18) How overstimulation (starting with video games and social media) creates unrealistic expectations and destroys intimacy. * (09:57) The downward spiral of desensitization and its devastating impact on marriage. * (12:38) The simple, direct solution: How to "quit" artificial stimulation and re-sensitize your brain to your partner. * (22:05) The surprising link between long-term stimulant (ADHD) medication and men's infertility. * (24:00) It's okay to talk about this: How to have the "hard conversation" and get help.

In today's Morning Manna, we study Proverbs 13:16–20, where Solomon teaches that wise men act with knowledge while fools expose their folly. We see how a faithful messenger brings health, while rejecting correction leads only to poverty and shame. The passage also reveals that fulfilled desire gladdens the heart, but fools loathe to leave their sin. Finally, Solomon reminds us that the company we keep shapes our destiny—walking with the wise brings wisdom, but companionship with fools ends in ruin.  Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart You can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.

Robert Redford prägte über fünf Jahrzehnte die amerikanische Kinogeschichte, von „Jenseits von Afrika“ bis „Souls at Night“. „Er war der Sunnyboy, weich, schön, dabei nicht dumm – kein Hippie, eher ein Beachboy“, sagt SWR KULTUR Filmexperte Rüdiger Suchsland. Redford selbst sah sich nie nur als Leinwandikone. „Ich habe mich immer als Schauspieler gesehen, vielleicht sogar als Künstler“, sagte er einmal, „aber für andere war ich nur der Filmstar.“ Mainstream und Autorenkino „Prägend war Redford als Schauspieler der unabhängigen Produktion, der Autorenfilme des New Hollywood.“ Zwar drehte er weniger Filme als andere Kollegen, doch die Auswahl war entscheidend. „Mit diesen wenigen wurde er schon unvergesslich und hat ein neues Männerbild geprägt.“ Politische Stoffe und Regiearbeiten Viele seiner Rollen spiegelten die amerikanische Gesellschaft. „Richtig politisch fand ich ihn in seinen eigenen Filmen als Regisseur“, so Suchsland. Filme wie „Die drei Tage des Condors“ oder „The Company You Keep“ verbanden Unterhaltung mit Zeitgeschichte. „Da hat er gestanden für ein, vielleicht für das bessere Amerika, den amerikanischen Traum.“ Alterswerk und Selbstreflexion Auch im Alter blieb Redford präsent, ohne sich zu wiederholen. „Es ist ihm gelungen, weil er authentisch war und weil er nicht zu viel gemacht hat“, sagt Suchsland. Besonders in „Souls at Night“ oder „Spy Game“ zeigte er Facetten des Altwerdens und eine Reflexion seiner eigenen Karriere. Sundance und das Independent-Kino Neben der Schauspielerei war Redford ein entscheidender Förderer junger Talente. „Dieses Sundance Festival ist in den 90er Jahren total wichtig gewesen“, betont Suchsland. Dort erhielten Regisseure wie Quentin Tarantino oder die Coen-Brüder ihre erste große Bühne. Vermächtnis einer Legende Redford starb nun im Alter von 89 Jahren. Sein Einfluss auf das amerikanische Kino reicht weit über die eigene Karriere hinaus. „Er hat Macht und Einfluss nicht für sich genutzt, sondern für die Jungen, für die Unbekannten“, fasst Suchsland zusammen. Damit bleibt Robert Redford als Künstler und Förderer unvergessen.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside Friday dances with the idea that we are always keeping company internally AND externally. It's challenging us to take stock of the stories that we're allowing ourselves to tell AND the remarks, experiences and relationships that we're marking our lives with. Are we feeling expanded by being with ourselves? Are we feeling encouraged by those we spend time with? Leading at the level of our soul asks us to begin by facing inward and really examining how the company we're keeping is either fostering our flame or snuffing out our light!
