Have an episode suggestion? Text us!A lot of people believe that once the drinking or drugs stop, life will finally start to feel better. But for many people in recovery, the opposite happens at first. The chaos disappears and what's left can feel like a huge void. No excitement, no purpose, and no clear direction.In this Mindset Monday episode, we'll talk about why that happens. Addiction hijacks the brain's reward system, which is why early recovery can feel flat, boring, and emotionally heavy. Sobriety removes the destruction, but it does not automatically rebuild a life.This episode also speaks directly to spouses and partners. Many of you think that once the addiction stops everything should go back to normal. Instead, you may find yourself staring at the life you've been surviving for years and wondering who you are without the chaos to manage.We'll discuss the science behind this stage of recovery, why both people often feel lost at first, and what actually fills that void. Community, purpose, contribution, and rebuilding a life that feels meaningful are what turn sobriety into something worth protecting.Sobriety isn't the finish line. It's the starting line for building a completely different life.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

The Seattle City Council has unanimously approved a plan requiring local police to monitor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during immigration actions. This plan, initially introduced by Mayor Katie Wilson, has now been codified into city law. The move comes in response to concerns about the conduct of federal immigration agents, particularly following incidents in Minneapolis. Under the resolution, Seattle police officers are directed to investigate, verify, and document any reports of immigration enforcement activity, including validating the status of federal agents and securing scenes of potentially unlawful acts. Furthermore, the city plans to install over 600 signs prohibiting ICE enforcement actions on city property. Critics argue that this is an overreach and pits law enforcement agencies against each other, while supporters maintain it's about ensuring accountability and upholding standards of conduct.

What does it actually mean to pursue excellence without losing your peace, your family, or yourself in the process?   In this episode, I sit down with New York Times bestselling author Brad Stulberg to unpack the tension so many driven men feel: the desire to achieve at a high level while still living a meaningful and grounded life. Brad shares insights from his book The Way of Excellence and explains why humans are wired to strive — but not necessarily wired to feel content once we achieve.   We dive into the trap many high-performing men fall into: constantly chasing the next milestone, promotion, or accomplishment while never feeling satisfied. Brad also shares powerful insights for fathers on how to help their kids develop a healthy relationship with effort, competition, and self-worth. If you're a driven man who struggles to slow down and enjoy the journey — or you want to raise kids who value effort and character over outcomes — this conversation will challenge how you think about success.   Timeline Summary   [0:00] Introducing Brad Stulberg and the idea behind The Way of Excellence [2:29] Why humans are wired to strive but not wired for contentment [8:57] The trap of "heroic individualism" and chasing achievement [11:04] Why success alone often leaves people feeling empty [20:08] The mountain metaphor for achievement and fulfillment [26:04] The importance of pausing to appreciate the journey [29:00] Helping kids avoid tying self-worth to results [34:46] Why youth sports should focus on development over winning [41:01] Separating identity from performance [48:55] The real goal of youth sports: helping kids want to play again next year     Five Key Takeaways Humans are wired to strive, which means the next achievement rarely brings lasting satisfaction. True excellence is about pursuing something worthwhile that aligns with your values. Focusing only on outcomes causes us to miss the meaning of the journey. Kids need to learn that effort and growth matter more than results. Fulfillment comes from aligning ambition with presence, purpose, and values.   Links & Resources The Way of Excellence (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Way-Excellence-Greatness-Satisfaction-Chaotic/dp/0063385945 Roommates to Soulmates Preview: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1448): https://thedadedge.com/1448   Closing If you're a driven man constantly chasing the next milestone, this episode is a reminder to pause and ask yourself an important question: What does excellence actually mean for my life?   Success without alignment will always feel empty. But when your ambition is grounded in values, presence, and purpose — that's where real fulfillment lives.   If this episode resonated with you, make sure you rate, review, follow, and share it with another dad who needs to hear it.   Go out and live legendary.

Thank you!In this episode of "Distance to Empty," we welcome back Michael Koppy, a seasoned ultra-marathon runner, to discuss his recent experiences at the Arrowhead 135, a grueling 135-mile race through the icy wilderness of Minnesota. Michael shares his journey of redemption after a near-finish DNF in 2024, detailing the challenges of extreme cold, self-sufficiency, and the mental and physical endurance required to complete such a demanding race. The conversation delves into the unique aspects of cold-weather racing, the importance of preparation, and the inspiration Michael provides to others by achieving remarkable feats at the age of 75.

Young Millennials and Gen Z are currently spiralling over the ultimate 'Why Now?' question: To procreate, or not to procreate? To help, they’ve resurrected an unlikely guru from the 1980s — Merle Bombardieri — whose decades-old 'Rocking Chair Test' is currently trending as the ultimate fix for biological-clock-induced brain rot. We unpack whether a 40-year-old therapy book can actually solve the most high-stakes dilemma of our lives. Plus, Amelia Lester, Monique Bowley, and Stacey Hicks are diving into the rise of the 'Empty Parenting Weekend'. And, from Matt Damon’s viral 'don’t blink' dad take, to the obsession with Paul Mescal’s mum, we’re asking: Why is Hollywood parenting suddenly so wholesome? Our Recommendations:

In this episode of Conversations With Toi, I'm talking about what it really means to pour from an empty cup — not the cute Instagram version, but the real-life, real-time signs that you're running on fumes while still trying to show up for everyone else. We'll break down how to recognize when your cup is drying out, the subtle ways burnout disguises itself as “being strong,” and the emotional toll of constantly giving without replenishing.I'm also sharing practical, grounded ways to pour back into your own cup — not the generic “take a bubble bath” advice, but the internal work, the boundaries, the rest, and the self-honesty required to refill yourself in sustainable ways. You'll hear real examples from my own life, because if you've been here long enough, you know my life stays being the catalyst for these conversations.We're also getting into what I'm still learning: how to express how I feel without being petty, how to honor my emotions after going no contact with people who drained me, and how to navigate the messy middle between protecting your peace and communicating your truth. Growth isn't linear, and I'm sharing the lessons as I live them.If you're tired of pretending you're okay while running on empty, this episode is for you.Follow me across all social platforms at @toitimeblog, and stay connected on the blog at www.toitime.org.

Trying something new here! I interviewed three women authors on the same day whose novels took me through the full spectrum of motherhood — so I wanted you all to have the same experience. We start with Angela Brown's Ways to Find Yourself in which Grace Whittaker meets younger versions of herself as she mourns her mother's loss while attempting to get pregnant. We then move on to British “it girl” Saba Sams's Gunk which really throws you into the birth and baby experience. And then we fast forward to empty nesting in Lindsey Goldstein's Gap Year in which a middle-aged mom takes off on an adventure after being left by her husband.

In this episode of The Sesh, we're posted up with Sour OG, and we go full rabbit hole, in the best way.We start with Castlevania, metroidvania obsession, Switch OLED upgrades, and why older games still hit harder than half the “new” stuff coming out. Then it turns into a real talk about why people feel more isolated than ever, why connecting feels harder than it should, and why getting comfortable being uncomfortable is basically a cheat code for life.We also get into Days Gone, Zelda, Ghost Recon no-HUD chaos, Ready or Not, British shows, revenge movies that actually slap, and why laughter might be the most underrated mental reset we have.Question for the comments, what's your favorite random non-US movie or TV show?Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Do you succeed—but feel strangely empty afterward?Do you struggle to rest, celebrate, or slow down without guilt?If you grew up as a parentified child, this episode explains why.Many high achievers were the “glue” in their families—absorbing stress, preventing crises, and keeping everyone else safe. That unseen work often goes unrecognized, even though it took enormous strength.In this episode, I talk about:Why high achievers feel empty after successHow hypervigilance and over-responsibility develop in childhoodThe unseen labor parentified children carry into adulthoodWhy letting go of the role doesn't mean losing your strengthsI also share how the RPC Method (Reflect, Protect, Connect) teaches self-parenting skills so your strengths become sustainable instead of exhausting.

Stocking Classrooms, Building FuturesA first-year teacher stands in an empty classroom with a key in her hand and a knot in her stomach. Twenty-six desks. Bare walls. One loud thought: School starts soon, and the room has almost nothing.Dr. Megan Brown, an associate professor of education at Cedarville University, knows that moment well. Coursework can cover research and best practices. Training can shape strong habits. Still, the first year in a real classroom brings a different kind of weight — especially when the space begins as a blank slate.Megan teaches literacy courses to future educators, and she talks plainly about what teaching requires. Learning is hands-on. Students need materials in their fingers so ideas can stick in their minds. Yet school budgets only stretch so far. Families can only do so much. Teachers often fill the gaps with their own money: pencils, tissues, notebooks, cleaning supplies, even backpacks. For a new teacher, those costs add up quickly.That's where Malena Ball comes in. A 2022 Cedarville graduate with a degree in strategic communication, Malena now serves as marketing director for Crayons to Classrooms. In that role, she helps connect educators to practical, personal support. The Dayton-area nonprofit provides free classroom supplies for teachers in 144 schools, reaching more than 50,000 students through the teachers it serves.Malena has watched teachers push carts down the aisles and still expect a bill. “How much do I owe?” they ask, looking at the price tags left on some items to show their value. Volunteers smile back. “Nothing.” Relief softens shoulders, and gratitude shows up as tears. Being seen does that.Crayons to Classrooms stocks the consumables that disappear by October — glue sticks, erasers, paper, pencils. But Malena calls it more than a resource center. It's a care center. Teachers find air filters, hygiene products, Band-Aids, sanitizer, and tissues. Those supplies don't just serve learning. They support dignity, comfort, and confidence.Megan watched one new teacher arrive after visiting her classroom for the first time. Empty room. End of July. No paycheck yet. She left with two full carts squeezed into a small car and a face filled with relief. Now there was something to build with.That “something” reaches far past academics. A spare notebook helps a student keep up. A backpack handed quietly to a child in foster care says, “This is yours.” A pencil offered without a lecture says, “You matter here.”Megan and Malena shared these stories on the Cedarville Stories podcast. Their message? Equip teachers with training, care, and supplies. When teachers feel supported, students feel it too. And that feeling can shape those students' futures.https://share.transistor.fm/s/7fa1e2bdhttps://youtu.be/_4X2P8hjSuk

There's a tension at the heart of modern banking that technology doesn't seem to totally resolve: how do you be both, digitally excellent and deeply human at the same time? Most banks have picked a lane: either betting on digital efficiency or doubling down on relationship banking. But consumers aren't asking for one or the other. They want both. They want their banking app to work flawlessly when they need it, and they want someone who actually knows them when it matters. My guest today is Dontá Wilson, Truist's Chief Consumer and Small Business Banking Officer. He leads 20,000 teammates serving clients through both digital channels and more than 1,900 community banking branches. His portfolio spans core deposits and loans to mortgage, auto, credit cards, and the full stack of consumer products. He also oversees Truist's multi-year growth plan that's reimagining both their digital experience and their physical branches using insights and AI. We talked about how AI is redefining consumer expectations and trust, what it takes to innovate inside a highly regulated industry while keeping client purpose at the center, and why Dontá believes innovation without empathy is empty.

Are you running on empty spiritually? ⛽

Sermon by Pastor Corky Calhoun

Empty egg cartons have taken over Tammy's house. Her husband Kurt has been saving them for years, claiming he has uses for them or that he's going to bring them to a farmer. Yet, they are still sitting by the door waiting. What are the items that your significant other hoards? 

He worked the night shift in an old Colorado school, cleaning long after the final bell rang. From the first day, he was warned the building had a reputation.At night, the hallways felt occupied. Footsteps trailed behind him when he knew every exterior door was locked. Something once ran down the corridor, turned the corner near his office, then ran back—just out of sight.He learned to keep music playing. Silence made the school louder. One evening, he set up his phone to record in the main office. He didn't see anything. But later, tiny rocks appeared in the lobby—and his boss wanted to know where they came from.He no longer works there. But sometimes, when a building feels empty… it isn't.#HauntedSchool #NightShiftStories #ParanormalActivity #DisembodiedFootsteps #UnexplainedNoises #ShadowSightings #GhostlyEncounters #CreepyHallways #ParanormalPodcast #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

Empty nets. Exhausted workers. A normal day. Then Jesus steps into the workplace. In Luke 5, Peter has nothing to show for a full night of effort—until the voice of Jesus breaks into the "normal rules" and invites him deeper. What follows is more than a miracle; it's supernatural progress—favor that accelerates what should take months, and abundance that can't be traced to performance alone. Alan reminds us that God is moving beyond the sanctuary—stories in the streets, in small groups, and in your Monday morning world. If you've been stuck in "labor mode," this is your invitation into a new day: One day of favor > a life of labor.

"Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God."Lesson 189Visit the website for information on these meetings, the online community and information on paid private mentoring with Keith:https://www.acimwithkeith.com/You can watch many older meetings on the YouTube Channel here:https://www.youtube.com/@acimwithkeithOur meetings are organised in the Facebook group, "A Course In Miracles With Keith" Please ensure you read and agree to the group rules on application to have membership approved.

Ever heard of Tasmania? It's Australia's giant green island — almost the size of Sri Lanka — and yet, barely half a million people live there. Why? That's the mystery we're solving. Tasmania is like Australia's cooler, quieter twin, from its wild Roaring Forties winds to lush rainforests and untouched coasts. It's less fiery, more forested, and runs on clean energy — so why do people still see it as remote? We're diving deep into Tasmania's weird climate, rugged geography, and what really makes it so different from mainland Australia. Watch now — this is the Australia nobody talks about, but absolutely should. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Scripture: John 3:1-17A wise one called Nicodemus comes looking for Jesus, but perhaps uncertain if he can leave his position and power behind.

This week on Alley Oop, Juju and Trysta welcome Zach Harper from The Athletic for a full-on NBA debate episode — and things get SPICY. We kick things off with the big question: • Is Cade Cunningham an MVP candidate… or are we getting ahead of ourselves? Does he deserve praise for carrying Detroit — or shade for the results? From there, the besmirching spreads: • Are the Spurs the second-best team in the West? • Can ANYONE beat Team USA in Olympic basketball? • Who are the true powerhouses — East vs West? • Why won't Luka shoot when he's WIDE OPEN?! • Kelsey Plum does an Aliyah Boston elbow impression and we cannot recover. It's debates, hot takes, chaos, and a LOT of shade. If you love NBA debates, spicy basketball takes, and zero chill analysis — you're in the right place. Learn more about your ad choices.

Susan Rice, former U.N. ambassador and national security advisor under Obama, made some very threatening statements directed toward Republicans and business elites on a recent podcast episode.    On “Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara,” Rice said she wanted Trump supporters to know that the Left won't forget if they've allowed Donald Trump “to bully” them in their respective academic, corporate, or institutional worlds.   Victor Davis Hanson breaks down Rice's comments on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” and explains why nothing she, and her fellow Democrats, say can hurt the U.S. president and his supporters at this point.   “Your entire career of the Democratic Party—your career, Hillary Clinton's career, Barack Obama—has been to destroy Donald Trump. So we don't need lectures on retribution. You've already tried to practice retribution against Trump. And I don't think you're going to be in a position of power necessarily in the Congress in 2026, and I have a pretty good idea you won't come back to power in 2028.”

If anyone can keep track of how many times Kerri says "yeah" or "man", we would love to know what the final tally is. Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat Podcast. This episode is going to be a mix of topics -- we realized too late that the podcast bank was empty and we needed to wing thing one. But that's pretty on par for us and it seems to keep working somehow. 

Downtown Portland is full of vacant lots, surface parking, and struggling storefronts—and every one of them has a price tag. Sam and Jeremiah break down how they estimated the city's road and pipe costs, modeled new tax revenue from redeveloping a downtown highway, and started pushing for a vacancy fee. Their approach offers a clear template for linking land use to your city's bottom line.

Thank you!Patrick J. Yalon was training for Moab 240 when a routine surf at Ocean Beach in San Francisco went catastrophically wrong—his board stopped, his body didn't, and he broke his neck, drowned, and was revived on the sand before undergoing a nine-and-a-half-hour spinal fusion and learning to move again one toe at a time. Just three months later, still battling nerve pain and fear of re-injury, Patrick toed the line at Moab anyway—finishing 144+ miles before making the hard call to stop, knowing the difference between “good pain” and “bad pain.” In this episode, he walks us through the mental darkness before the accident, the identity reset that followed, and why Moab became his North Star—then returns in 2025 for redemption, fighting brutal weather, river crossings, shredded feet, and soul-level lows to finally earn the finish. It's a raw conversation about gratitude, grace, and pushing forward “aid station to aid station”—and why Patrick believes he may never find his distance to empty.

This week on Paranormal Activity, Yvette Fielding is joined by friend of the show Glen Hunt to dive headfirst into one of the most controversial and mind-bending topics in the paranormal world… modern time travel.Are we really seeing visitors from the future?Or are these viral cases simply clever hoaxes wrapped in digital-age mythology?Together, Yvette and Glen dissect four extraordinary cases that have divided believers and sceptics alike:

The mother, the partner, the colleague, the carer. Your whole identity is wrapped up in what you do for others. But what happens when the kids leave, or the career changes, or you just stop long enough to ask… who am I underneath all of that?In this episode, Steven shares a personal story from his time as Mayor of Truro, where former mayors warned him about the strange emptiness that comes when a defining role ends. He explores why losing a role can feel like grief, why that "who am I now?" question is not a sign of ingratitude but an invitation to go deeper, and how you can start the quiet, beautiful process of meeting yourself again.If you've ever felt lost in the space between who you were and who you're becoming, this one is for you.In This EpisodeSteven talks about the identity we build from doing things for others and what happens when those roles shift or fade. He explores why this transition hurts so much and why grief and gratitude can exist side by side. He shares wisdom on sitting in the uncomfortable "in between" space rather than rushing to fill it. And he offers a simple five minute practice you can try today to begin reconnecting with who you really are beneath the roles.Key ThemesIdentity and midlife transitions. The grief of losing a role. Empty nest and changing family dynamics. Finding stillness in the not knowing. Meeting yourself again after decades of caring for others.Memorable Moment"You are not your roles. You never were. The mother, the carer, the professional, the person everyone depends on: those are things you do, and you do them beautifully. But they are not who you are. Who you are is the one who remains when all of that falls away. And she is still there. She's been waiting for you."Try This TodayFind five minutes of quiet. Sit with a cup of tea, go for a short walk, or sit somewhere peaceful. Ask yourself: "What would I do today if nobody needed anything from me?" Don't judge the answer. Just notice what comes up. That's a thread. Keep pulling gently on it and it will lead you back to yourself.Support This PodcastStillness in the Storms is completely free with no adverts and no sponsors.

What happens when a body arrives at a hospital morgue without any record of how it got there? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro examine a disturbing class of real-world cases involving unidentified bodies that appear in hospital morgues with no paperwork, no chain of custody, and no clear explanation. The episode begins with a firsthand email from a night-shift worker who briefly stepped away from an empty morgue—only to return to find a body placed neatly in the room, as if it had always belonged there. From that moment, the discussion expands into documented incidents across U.S. hospitals and medical examiner offices, where decedents entered official custody before they technically existed in the system. Drawing on acknowledged cases in California and Illinois, professional standards from the National Association of Medical Examiners, and historical precedent, Kat and Jethro explore how modern medical systems quietly normalize these unexplained arrivals by assigning case numbers and moving forward—without ever addressing the moment something appeared where nothing had been before. The episode then shifts to a seemingly unrelated but deeply connected subject: how human societies remember lives at all. Long before databases and paperwork, entire civilizations relied on living memory. Kat and Jethro explore the tradition of griots and other oral historians across West Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia—individuals entrusted with preserving genealogies, histories, and identities entirely through story, music, and performance. Backed by neuroscience research, the episode examines why rhythm and narrative are so effective at preserving memory, even when written records fail. Together, these two topics form a quiet, unsettling question at the heart of the episode: what happens when systems designed to document human existence fall short—and who remembers us when they do? Grounded in documented cases, historical tradition, and modern science, this episode blends true mystery with cultural insight, revealing how bodies can arrive without histories, and histories can survive without bodies.
