Podcasts about despair

Here it is, the first chapter of my latest book Escaping Quicksand. I thought it was necessary for the reader to understand that I too have found myself in quicksand and realized there was no rock bottom to hit. Through escaping "the quicksand", I learned the lesson of the unpopular truth that you have to make yourself a priority.  How Did I Get In the Pit of Despair? I've always been a planner and organized. But the systems I brought into adulthood slowly started to break as the complexity of life increased by adding a spouse, a house, and children. I suppose it was around the time of the 2008 recession that life gave the final push into the pit of despair. My father had fallen which led to a decline in his health and ultimately his passing. My sister and I shared roles to care for him and then settle his estate but it was a lot financially, logistically, and emotionally. On top of that I had become a very negative person that no one really wanted to be around. The more I fought to not sink lower in the quicksand of the pit of despair, the deeper I fell.  Grandma's Car As I was getting ready to turn 40 I realized that no one was coming to save me. If it was to be it was up to me! I remembered all the inspirational and motivational speakers I'd heard in the back seat of my grandma's car and when I'd been in tow with my mother at events. Some of their one liners started popping into my head. It was at that point that I realized I needed to support myself in the same way I support my family members in their daily lives, with their diet, physical fitness, and education! It was up to me to fix my broken life. We are so busy taking care of everyone else that we get lost in the mix and never get put on the list. The first thing I did was organize my physical spaces and that's when I wrote Organization is a Learnable Skill.  Pampering Is Not Self Care Yes, a pedicure is nice, but we need to do so much more to take care of ourselves. There's child care and elder care — but when do we get to self-care? It's not selfish. When I realized no one was coming to save me, I was not ready to assume care for myself. My life was a mess, and I remember thinking, "How was this my life?" I had taken care of my family, of course, but something clicked and I knew, "If it was to be, it was up to me." That felt overwhelming because at that point I could only go day by day. I freed up time by quitting my job, and it became my mission to get out of the quicksand. This book explains how I took care of myself so that I could better take care of everyone else. We all know the cliché truth that on an airplane you have to put on your own air mask before helping a child. It's uncomfortable to focus on yourself — but you must.

It's the Bafta row that only deepens - sitting at the intersection of disability rights, broadcasting standards, the harm caused by offensive language, and the treatment of Black talent.A racist slur shouted by a guest with Tourette's syndrome was broadcast during the recent Bafta ceremony, despite the TV event airing on a two-hour delay. The incident triggered widespread criticism, urgent questions for the BBC and Bafta , and renewed debate about how broadcasters handle sensitive language and disability. The BBC and Bafta have both apologised for harm and offence caused, and have launched separate investigations into the incident.In this episode of The Fourcast, we examine how this moment has exposed deeper tensions around race, responsibility and broadcasting standards. Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Labour MP Dawn Butler to discuss why she has demanded answers from the BBC, and actor Eddie Marsan, whose son lives with Tourettes and is a patron of the charity Tourettes Action.This episode includes discussion around offensive language and suicide.

Just as it was starting to look a bit ropey for Arsenal at the top of the league, Doctor Tottenham arrives and gives them the boost of confidence they need.Even with a pretty convincing win, one of the main talking points coming out of the game was just how aware Arsenal and especially Declan Rice are of the eyes of the footballing world being on them.Spurs look worse than ever, and with the injury list and attitudes at the club showing no sign of improvement, could relegation actually happen?Preperation for the most cursed World Cup of all time continues, as cities in host country Mexico are now under hostile cartel control, including the city which could potentially host Ireland, if we make it.Speaking of Ireland, did you hear the one about the brand new €500,000 pitch that was set on fire seconds after being unveiled?Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

Four years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war shows no sign of abating, with mounting casualties, continued strikes on civilian infrastructure and faltering ceasefire efforts. As global tributes mark the February 24 anniversary, calls are growing for stronger international action to apply pressure to Russia and bring an end to Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II.

After the temptation in the desert, Satan waited "for an opportune time" to attack again: in Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. This was a different temptation: to fear, to despair. We share a message from Our Blessed Mother about how much he is attacking us today with this temptation. And how to resist it.

Morgan Myles on ‘Laced': Turning a Broken Engagement into an Album, Surviving Nashville, and Staying Authentic in the AI EraIn this Curious Goldfish episode hosted by Jason English, singer-songwriter Morgan Myles discusses her upcoming album Laced (releasing February 13 on Galentine's Day) and the personal upheaval that shaped it, including calling off her wedding, buying and then selling a house with her ex-fiancé, and touring through the chaos. She explains how the album title shifted from Language of Flowers to Laced, describing lace as delicate yet resilient, and shares how she used her 20-foot wedding veil—taken to Joshua Tree two weeks after the breakup—as the album cover. Morgan compares Laced to her 2020 album Therapy, outlines the two-year process of writing 80 songs in five months and narrowing them to 12 for vinyl with producer Ross Hogarth, and talks about performing while dealing with stress, compartmentalizing, faith, and negativity on social media. The conversation explores how fans can support artists in streaming, emphasizing that actively searching for an artist and listening to full songs signals algorithms, and addresses the flood of AI-generated music and its impact on songwriters, demo singers, session players, and industry economics. Morgan shares her view of authenticity, discusses songwriting themes like gaslighting and the power of words, and explains protecting vulnerability by staying close to trusted people. She talks about writing with Gary Nichols, what she learns from his perspective, and highlights tracks including “Love Is Lonesome” and “American Sky,” which she wrote to evoke bipartisan hope while addressing phone toxicity, food chemicals, veteran support, financial education, school tragedies, and media hate. Morgan reflects on her positive experience on The Voice as valuable exposure, her goals of continuing to write, tour, and build her fanbase, and ends by sharing what she's curious about now—especially history and learning how to meditate.00:00 From ‘Language of Flowers' to ‘Laced': the veil that became the album cover01:09 Welcome to Curious Goldfish + quick listener survey on streaming & AI02:24 Meet Morgan Myles: survival, breakup inspiration, and authenticity in the AI era03:38 Ice storm in Nashville: weather chaos and keeping the lights on05:28 Laced release week + comparing the new album to Therapy10:32 80 songs in 5 months: choosing the final tracklist with Ross Hogarth11:55 The symbolism of lace: engagement, heartbreak, and women's stories13:33 Performing through pain: staying joyful onstage and handling trolls16:59 How fans can help in the streaming era: algorithms, full listens, and search intent21:06 AI in music: inevitable shift, lost royalties, and protecting the soul of songs27:29 Breaking Down the Album: Passion, Despair & Song Themes28:56 Why Words Matter: Songwriting, Gaslighting & Relationship Red Flags30:29 Vulnerability vs Self-Protection (and Handling Online Judgment)33:03 Pet Peeves & “Icks”: Attention, Alone Time, and Basic Respect34:09 Writing with Gary Nichols: Process, Perspective & Musical Authenticity37:24 “Love Is Lonesome”: When Love Hurts and How to Nurture It39:54 “American Sky”: Hope, Division, and a Bipartisan Message45:56 Where She's Headed Next: Career Goals, The Voice, and Staying Grateful49:55 Final Question: What She's Most Curious About (History, Meditation & Life)52:37 Wrap-Up: Album Release, Thanks, and Where to Stream

Click here to send me a quick message :) Last week I read some quotes from Dr Rosales Mesa. She said, "The prophecy of a new ancient world isn't something we wait for. It's something we EMBODY TOGETHER... Your ancestors prayed for you to awaken the wisdom in your blood and bones. You were not born for colonial submission... Despair keeps us in the colonial story. Hope is ancestral."And my goodness, they resonated. I really feel the truth in how the colonial story (of which essentially all of us except maybe the billionaires and world leaders are impacted by) causes us to retract our own embodied power and sovereignty.It's easy to feel small, and lose hope, when we are bombarded by deeply disturbing conditions and information. So what then can we do?It's not easy to find that inner fortitude, but we can't just give up. If you're reading this, my guess is that you are likely a person of the earth with a deep connection or interest in the generative potential within the womb. So, perhaps today's episode will offer a welcome invitation to reflect and connect on ways to deepen your relationship with your own ancestral resilience and hope.This ancestral resilience is inside all of us. Every single one. It's in our blood. And our bones. I hope this one supports you. Resources:Join Natural Contraception the Herbal Way!

Send a textIn this episode of Letters to the Sky, Stephan and Adam speak with Dave Biggs, a UK-based nondual teacher whose path grew out of a highly controlled religious upbringing, childhood trauma, and years of anxiety, panic disorder, addiction, and a bipolar diagnosis. Drawing on his experience supporting others in distress through the NHS and Samaritans, Dave explores why awakening can become a subtle escape when intense suffering makes the idea of “no self” feel like a final hope—and how that denial eventually crashes.Together, they unpack the overlooked work of post-awakening integration: the way emotions can become more raw and intense when resistance falls away, why kindness and gentleness still matter, and how labeling and story-making can trap sensations instead of letting them move through. Dave describes an “absolute” ground of unconditioned awareness as a stabilizing landing pad—like a starter before the main course—that makes it possible to face trauma without bypassing the human experience. The conversation closes with Dave sharing brief details of his childhood split between Jehovah's Witness fear and his father's atheism, his long search to disprove a malicious God, and the eventual recognition of an unconditionally loving presence, along with ways to connect with him at dualitydetox.com.00:00 Welcome 01:00 How They Met Dave: Voice Memos, Nonduality Groups & Shared Language02:07 Dave's Background: Trauma, Mental Health, and Teaching Without Bypassing05:53 The Trap of ‘No One Here': Spiritual Bypassing, Denial, and the Crash11:54 Real Self-Realization: Ordinary, Subtle, and Noticed by the Absence of Suffering13:46 Integration Mechanics: Momentum After Awakening & the ‘Last 5%' of Work16:41 Emotions After Awakening: Anger, Grief, Tears, and Feeling It Fully19:24 Letting Emotions Move: Disney Tears, Accessibility, and Dropping the Labels22:58 The ‘Child Catcher' Metaphor: Stop Netting Feelings and Naming Them27:02 Mind's Story-Making vs Witnessing: Grasping, Aversion, and Waves Passing Through30:18 Groundlessness & Ultimate Truth: Returning to What We Are32:00 The “Landing Pad”: Unconditioned Awareness as the Base34:08 Starter vs Main Course: Letting Experience Move Through You37:02 Macbeth, Despair, and Finding the Ground Beneath the “Sound and Fury”40:32 Post-Awakening Reality Check: Emotions Don't Disappear41:49 Why the Ground Makes Healing Possible (and the Hand Analogy Explained)44:14 Healing Is Reachable: Safety, Integration, and Trauma Unraveling46:23 When Pain Becomes Identity: The MS Patient Story49:30 Dave's Lived-Experience Work & Dropping the Trauma “Performance”54:40 Dave's Childhood & Awakening Turning Point (High-Level Story)59:27 Wrap-Up: Keep Doing the Work + Where to Find DaveSupport the showCopyright 2025 by Letters to the Sky

You're scrolling LinkedIn and see a colleague got promoted. Someone else just keynoted at the conference you've been dreaming about speaking at. Another peer seems to effortlessly command every room they walk into, and that familiar knot starts forming in your stomach that makes you feel like you're falling behind." What if that singular thought pattern is the exact thing blocking you from the success, influence, and visibility you actually want?

People in our church had a big disappointment in this last election. We prayed. We showed up at City Council meetings. We spoke. Yet, when the votes were counted, all the godly candidates we supported for office were wiped out. Despite these losses, our response must not be despair, but prayer—not withdrawal, but intercession: “first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority. . .” (1 Tim. 2:1). This must be our default position. Even as we witness our foundations crumble before our eyes, God is not surprised or absent. He’s taught us to pray for our civil magistrates and for laws that honor Him—so let’s keep praying!

In a world that focuses on the numbers and the 'ninety-nine,' God is looking for the 'one.' If you've felt lost in a layoff, stuck in underemployment, or broken-hearted over a business venture, this call is for you. You aren't just a statistic; you are a high priority to God!Career Coach Crystal shared a message about "Walking by Faith, Not by Sight," relating the biblical scripture to a Coors Light Super Bowl commercial, and reminded the community about the forward focus career fast on Thursdays in 2026. The central message, "God will leave the 99 for the one," was inspired by the song "Omemma" by Chandler Moore and a Sarah J. Robert's Woman Evolve podcast. Crystal interpreted the Parable of the Lost Sheep to emphasize God's personal love and high priority for every professional, especially those struggling with career circumstances.Click the link to hear the entire new single: Monday Morning Prayer Call-https://youtu.be/2IrNMp5MPj0?si=PjDxggE0QSBBNZ9P#CareerTransitionNote: Use the song as background music on your shorts on FaceBook, TikTok or YouTube or Snap Chat….when you do that or  add the song to your library or playlist this will monetarily support this growing career empowerment ministry!!#LayoffSupport#JobSearchEncouragement#CareerClarity#OvercomingFear#ChristianProfessionals#KingdomLeadership#ExecutiveFaith#CareerProsperity#ProfessionalBreakthrough#MarketplaceMinistry#FaithAndWork

God Sees a Jesus Follower as Being “In Christ”; Therefore, God Sees a Jesus Follower as His Son or Daughter MESSAGE SUMMARY: As Followers of Jesus, you are "In Christ" -- God looks at you, as a Jesus Follower, and He sees Jesus in you. Throughout the Epistles we find: "In Christ" or "In Him". In Galatians 3:14, Paul tells you that your faith in Jesus makes you “In Christ” and a recipient of God's Covenant with Abraham: “so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.". Also, Paul goes even further, in Galatians 3:25-28, to tell you that, through your faith in Jesus, you no longer need any kind of intermediary because you are “In Christ” and you have a personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe: “But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.”. When God sees you, “In Christ" as a Jesus Follower, He sees Jesus, the Son. Therefore, God sees you as His son or daughter.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power.

“Everything is blowing up around us, but there are still those who care about a broken lock, and others who are dutiful enough to try to fix it … But maybe that's the way it should be. Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can, is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.”― Haruki Murakami, Desire: Vintage Minisassess your capacity (energy, time, resources, boundaries, expectations)prepare for challenges (doomerism protection)set intentionsget connected with your community, assess who is already there, and how you can contribute to those relationships. take the first step in improving your relationship with your community. take personal actions, collective actions, or share resources in the direction of your goal. reflect and learn from your experience. celebrate all progressrestprepare for the next action stepsRead episode scripts on Julie's Medium Blog.SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!)DONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund AND THE Sudan Relief FundGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM AND YOUTUBESUBSCRIBE FOR BONUS CONTENT ON PATREON.The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Episode 695: How fast is the ISS traveling? By what factor is it calculated? Is parallax for pooping or a method of measurement? Andrew learns hydronics so he can heat his floor before he shoots a wolf in the face with rock-salt. A PGH bus runs over another student.

Alan provides a new Thursday Thought episode. In today's Thursday Thought is compare and despair. It's in our nature to compare ourselves with others. But as an inventor, comparing your success - with that of any other inventor is unfruitful. Compare yourself today - only with yourself yesterday - for best results.  Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, so you won't miss a single episode.

What does it mean to truly protect something you love? And, what are you willing to sacrifice to do it? Today's guest has gone farther into the wild than most people ever will, not for thrill or ego, but to defend one of the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. From the depths of the Amazon rainforest to the front lines of conservation, this is a conversation about courage, responsibility, and confronting fear head-on. My guest today is Paul Rosolie, a renowned explorer, conservationist, and storyteller whose life's work is rooted in protecting the Amazon and the creatures that inhabit it. We talk about what the jungle teaches you about yourself, the modern war on nature, and his powerful new book, Junglekeeper, which challenges us to stop outsourcing responsibility and start defending what matters, personally and globally.

Is the real crisis today economic — or architectural? In this episode, we challenge the idea that loneliness and despair come from a broken ladder of upward mobility. What if the problem isn't that we can't climb… but that we were taught to measure our worth by climbing in the first place? Drawing from Middlemarch, modern work culture, and personal experience, this conversation explores why craftsmanship, authorship, and daily building may be the antidote to vertical despair.In this episode:Why the “career ladder” mindset fuels anxiety and comparisonThe difference between climbing and buildingHow craftsmanship creates internal pride (and hunger)What Lydgate's crisis in Middlemarch teaches us about collapsed ambitionWhy being seen — not promoted — can save a lifeThe power of asking: “Am I actually in danger right now?”Moving from passive consumption to generative actionHow to build meaning even when the system feels unstable
