Podcasts about Empty

Do you ever look at your life on paper and think, I should feel proud of this, while inside you feel trapped, empty, or quietly panicked? In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer a question from a listener who hates her career choice and feels crushed by debt, regret, and the belief that she ruined her life by making the “wrong” decision.In the second question, I address what it means to feel numb or disconnected inside and why that emptiness can make thought work feel pointless or hopeless. This episode will help you see how your thoughts, not your past decisions or your emotional state, are creating the suffering, and how learning to question what you're making your circumstances and feelings mean is the key to reclaiming agency, clarity, and self-trust.

Send a textStep inside Scientology's balance sheet and the picture changes fast: small, friendly intro courses up front, a steep climb of costly counseling and training behind the curtain, and one Florida powerhouse quietly bankrolling the whole machine. We break down how local orgs pitch low‑cost classes, enforce nightly study quotas, and celebrate tiny wins, even as their course rooms sit empty. Then we follow the cash to Clearwater, where Flag Land Base concentrates services, pressure, and status to pull in one to two million dollars a week, covering international management, massive events, and a constant burn of promo and mailings.We unpack the franchise‑style setup that sends rent back to an “International Landlord,” the weekly finance policy that slices income into rigid buckets, and the pivot from service delivery to pure fundraising for buildings and the IAS war chest. You'll hear how prepaid “up to Clear” packages become a revenue trap, why commissioned recruiters have powerful incentives to push harder, and how the 1996 Golden Age rollout coincided with deep declines across key stats. We also compare glossy claims of “unprecedented expansion” with a striking data point: an ideal org's two‑month completion list that could fit at a single table.The human story runs just as deep. We revisit Heber Jentzsch's final years, allegations of isolation at the international base, and a death certificate listing “Golden Era Homes-Hospice” at the very address of the Hole—raising urgent questions about elder care, licensing, and transparency. Along the way, we talk Sea Org labor at Flag, foreign recruitment, and the day‑to‑day grind that keeps the flagship humming while local orgs scrape by.If you value clear, sourced, and candid reporting on high‑control organizations, hit follow, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review with the one question you want answered next.

Segment 1 • Massive cultural moments, like last night's Superbowl, promise fulfillment but fade almost instantly. • The halftime show controversy shows us how our entertainment is driving moral numbness for our nation and world. • A sharp challenge: if the biggest moments don't last, why do we keep living for them? Segment 2 • Here's what suffering for Christ's sake in our life tells us about the character and attributes of God. • God values something more than your comfort - and this changes everything in your life. • First Peter's uncomfortable but hope-filled call to lift your eyes above temporary victories. Segment 3 • How sentimental slogans weaponize empathy and shut down moral clarity. • Phrases like “love is love” feel compassionate but smuggle in serious worldview assumptions. • A smarter approach: asking the right questions instead of taking rhetorical bait. Segment 4 • Bible sales are up—but biblical literacy may not be. • What church closures, entertainment trends, and AI-driven depravity reveal about spiritual decay. • A sobering reminder: sin never satisfies, no matter how advanced the technology gets. ___ Thanks for listening!

Pastor Andy Cass Before the big game, it all comes down to a coin flip—heads or tails, winner or loser. In life, we do the same thing more than we realize. We flip coins, pull straws, roll the dice, and leave decisions up to luck. But what if faith was never meant to be left to chance? TEXT: John 4:4–15, Genesis 28:12–15, 20–22, Matthew 27:35, Malachi 3:10, 2 Chronicles 16:9 NOTES: -The Problem: Too often, we leave our faith, generosity, and obedience up to luck. -The Plan:Put down the coin. Lower the first bucket. Give to Jesus strategically, in obedience, by the first-things principle. “Will you give me a drink?” - Jesus 4 Key Words: -Power- Even exhausted, Jesus is more capable than we are at full strength. Giving first is alignment, not depletion -Opportunity- If Jesus had not asked her for water, she might never have received what He came to give. The ask opens the door to transformation. The tithe isn't a loss—it's an opportunity for overflow -Trust- Will I trust myself, or will I trust God? Water was secondary; willingness was the goal -Possessions- Jesus asked the Samaritan Woman for possibly the only thing she could give. Water! A woman marked by reputation. Limited. Overlooked. Empty-handed by the world's standards. And yet, Jesus started with what was in her hand. Big Question: Will you flip your if—or will you trust God with your first?

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges look backward and forward at the same time — tracing the remarkable evolution of the Super Bowl while unpacking a franchise-shifting decision by the Dallas Mavericks. Norm begins with Super Bowl 60, revisiting how the game went from an awkward, half-empty afternoon in 1967 to the most powerful annual spectacle in American sports. From $12 tickets and $42,000 commercials to today's $8–10 million ad slots, Norm explains how the Super Bowl's growth mirrors the transformation of sports, television, and money itself. Along the way, he shares unforgettable history — including Max McGee's hungover heroics in Super Bowl I and the astonishing reality that neither network bothered to save the full game tape. The episode then shifts to the present, where Norm breaks down the Dallas Mavericks' decision to move on from Anthony Davis, effectively closing the book on the Luka Dončić era. Norm explains why the trade wasn't about talent — Davis was still productive when healthy — but about flexibility, criticism fatigue, and long-term cap strategy. With Dallas now projected to have $44 million in cap space, Norm outlines how the Mavericks may follow a patient, Oklahoma City–style rebuild built around flexibility, draft assets, and opportunistic trades. It's a thoughtful episode about growth, money, patience, and perspective — from the Super Bowl's unlikely beginnings to a franchise trying to find its next identity. Just Wondering_1.mp3 ⏱️ Chapters (YouTube-Friendly) 00:00 – Super Bowl Sunday questions and today's themes01:26 – The origin of the Super Bowl name02:10 – From $12 tickets to $10M commercials02:58 – 32,000 empty seats at Super Bowl I04:57 – Why the full game footage was never saved05:53 – Max McGee's hungover Super Bowl legend06:49 – Super Bowl 60 matchup and betting context08:02 – Why defense still wins Super Bowls08:56 – Transition to the Mavericks' big move11:09 – Anthony Davis traded and what it really means11:54 – Criticism fatigue and why Dallas wanted out13:20 – What the Mavericks actually received14:15 – The real prize: $44M in cap flexibility15:40 – Following the Oklahoma City rebuild model16:21 – Pieces Dallas still likes going forward17:18 – What Dallas ultimately got for Luka18:27 – Sponsors and closing thoughts19:19 – Final sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles as Trump predictably lashes out in the fallout from the Epstein files—targeting Wolff as his latest nemesis, threatening lawsuits he can't afford to file, and insisting the real conspiracy is against him. They unpack Trump's rambling, defensive response to questions about Epstein flights, island denials, and the newly resurfaced claim—now echoed in official documents—that Epstein introduced Melania to Trump, a detail Trump world once tried to bury with billion-dollar legal threats. From Bill Gates and elite denial to Epstein's role as an information broker, the conversation widens to Trump's current obsession: federalizing elections, re-litigating 2020, and quietly laying the groundwork to undermine the 2026 midterms.

He shares how chasing achievement without meaning leads to emptiness, and why intentional choices—especially in relationships—restore fulfillment.

On January 26, 2026, after 844 days, the body of Ran Gvili was brought home to Israel for burial. Of the hostages taken on October 7, his remains were the last still kept in Gaza. And when you factor in the hostages taken to Gaza before October 7, Gvili's return marked the first time since 2014 that no Israeli hostage or hostage remains are being held captive, to torture and torment Israelis, in the Gaza Strip.   The operation to recover him involved hundreds of soldiers, excavators, and dentists who examined hundreds bodies in a Gazan cemetery. When they found him, the soldiers gathered and sang the song Ani Ma'amin—arms around each other, voices rising together—"I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the messiah, and even though he may tarry, I will wait for him every day."   It's a song that Jews sang walking to the gas chambers during the Shoah. But there's something in that song, in its very structure, that speaks to how the Israeli soldiers experienced this moment.   Ani Ma'amin contains within it the hope for the eventual coming of the messiah, yes, but also the sober recognition that right now we live in pre-messianic times. Not outside of history, but within it. The soldiers singing that song were acknowledging that the relief and closure they felt was not an escapist delusion that they had suddently entered a new phase of history, or that, with the outbreak of peace, history had ended. No, while we hope one day to be at peace, we understand that this tragedy, and the hard-won deliverance that followed, occurred in history. The end of days is coming—but not yet. It was a note of hope and sobriety uttered by a war-weary army.   For two years, yellow ribbons hung from every street sign and telephone pole in Israel. Empty chairs stood at tables in restaurants and homes. The hostages were present in daily Israeli consciousness in ways that are difficult to convey to those who weren't there.   What can we learn about Israeli society from the psychic and social attention it paid to these hostages? Where does this commitment to bring everyone home come from? What does it cost? And what does this moment of closure—bittersweet, sobering, deeply felt—reveal about how Israelis understand their obligations to one another and their place in history?   To discuss these questions, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver is joined by Russ Roberts, president of Shalem College in Jerusalem. An American immigrant to Israel, Roberts has lived in Jerusalem throughout the duration of this war.

If you notice yourself tightening just as things begin to flow—overthinking the next step, scanning for what could go wrong, or needing reassurance before you let yourself move—this episode is for you. I'm unpacking why we so often try to create expansion from the same survival-based identity that once kept us safe, and how that fear-driven system can quietly limit us even when life is objectively going well. We'll explore how the Inner Critic frames control as responsibility, why your nervous system reacts faster than your thoughts, and how old patterns shape what you label as "realistic," "smart," or "safe." ✨ Tune in to learn how to spot when fear is driving the decisions, reconnect with the steady wisdom of your Authentic Self, and start choosing from alignment instead of anxiety—so life doesn't need to be controlled, only experienced with presence, trust, and grounded clarity.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where am I saying "have to," and what happens if I shift to "get to"? Is this push (proving) or pull (calling) motivation? If I feel numb, what would reconnect me to meaning today?

Radical Compassion (Season 6 | Episode 223) with Ukumbwa Sauti Trading “Empty” for “Open”: The Courage to Speak Up Welcome back to the Open Nesters podcast, where we are flipping the script on aging and trading an “empty” nest for a life wide open. This month, we have been diving deep into the theme of courage, and I can't think of a more vital conversation than the one I recently had with Ukumbwa Sauti. Ukumbwa is a consultant, educator, and a leader in men's work who is helping us look at the “third act” of our lives through a lens of awareness and radical compassion. The “genesis moment” for Ukumbwa's lifelong mission happened decades ago when he realized that nearly every woman he knew had experienced some form of sexual assault or harassment. This shocking realization led him to dedicate his life to education and media literacy, focusing on how we define “normal” behavior. In our interview, he shared a powerful story from his days teaching higher education where a simple question about consent was met with a long, chilling silence. It's a stark reminder that we are still pushing a boulder uphill when it comes to understanding boundaries. One of the most profound concepts Ukumbwa introduced is “radical compassion”—the ability to respect the experiences of people we don't even know. For men in the open nesting stage, this means moving beyond the excuse of “I didn’t know”. It's about being willing to hold up a mirror to our own behaviors and the systems of patriarchy that have affected us all. As Ukumbwa noted, many women our age have reached a breaking point because their partners refused to grow and evolve alongside them. This lack of growth is a major contributor to the rising rates of “grey divorce”. It is a staggering reality that 40% of divorces now occur among those over 50, with women initiating two-thirds of these splits. Women are often simply “fed up” with partners who remain stagnant or dismissive of their need for equality and respect. Embracing open nesting means being brave enough to address these intimacy gaps and do the internal, spiritual, and emotional work required to sustain a healthy partnership. For the men listening, Ukumbwa's message is clear: learn to listen. Whether it's through joining a men's group, reading works by authors like bell hooks, or simply engaging in open, heart-centered conversations with friends, the tools for growth are available. He shared a beautiful story of his own men's group providing him with caretaking and “manicures in bed” during a hospital stay, proving that masculinity can include tenderness and mutual support. As we move into February and focus on love and relationships, I challenge you to consider your own legacy. What kind of role model are you for your adult children and grandchildren? True courage is not just about big adventures; it's about the willingness to be conscious, to admit when we are wrong, and to speak up for equality. Let's keep opening doors to better relationships and endless possibilities Ukumbwa Sauti Educator, Presenter, Facilitator – Cultural Media Studies; Counselor,initiated Dagara Elder Greetings! I’ve been involved in a dynamic and deepening process born out of many aspects of my professional, creative and spiritual work over many years.

We're pulling back the curtain on our own struggles—from the "should I text them?" anxiety to the realization that our roles have officially shifted from managers to consultants (and sometimes, the advice isn't exactly requested).

Righteous men are more visible than ever, but many still feel unseen, unknown, and empty.In this episode of The Uncrowned, Joe Buttice unpacks why so many men who love God, hit the gym, show up for their families, and even go to church still carry a low‑grade ache they can't explain. You'll discover how righteousness in Christ is an identity, not a performance (2 Corinthians 5:21, Philippians 3:9), and why that shift is the difference between constantly proving yourself and finally living from a place of grounded sonship. We'll also dive into what the data actually says about the so‑called “male loneliness epidemic,” why men are quietly returning to church in record numbers, and why so many still lack the brotherhood and discipleship they were built for.If you're a man who's done “all the right things” and still feels spiritually underbuilt, this conversation will help you name the gap, root your confidence in Christ's righteousness, and take your next step toward real community and calling.If this episode hits you, share it with a brother, leave a review so more men can find it, and join the email list at The Uncrowned to go deeper with resources, challenges, and upcoming coaching opportunities.

Maybe you've had that moment too. The one where burnout shows up quietly, and you sit in your car before work holding back tears, wondering how your life became so small. For anyone experiencing career burnout or questioning their sense of self, this conversation may feel familiar.For Lin Yuan-Su, that moment was a quiet breaking point. She had the job, the title, the security. But none of it felt like her. What began as a career built to please others became a life that asked her to finally listen to herself. That morning became a line in the sand moment where she realized success alone was not enough.Her story is about what happens when you stop performing and start trusting your own truth. It's about learning to make peace with the child who only knew how to survive, and letting her grow into the woman who can finally breathe.What You'll Hear:The hidden pressure of living up to other people's expectationsThe breaking point that began in a silent parking lotHow cultural and familial stories shaped her sense of worthThe moment she chose to walk away from success that no longer fitReconnecting with her inner child after years of silenceBuilding a life that feels aligned instead of approvedGuest Bio:Lin Yuan-Su is a transformational success coach who helps high-achieving professionals simplify their path to success so they can create lives they love without burnout or hustle that no longer serves them.

Jason never expected anything unusual from the small cemetery he helped maintain. It was quiet, forgotten by most, and easy to treat like just another job site. But over time, a handful of moments began to stand out—subtle, easily dismissed at first, and impossible to explain later.A photograph taken on an ordinary workday didn't look quite right. Then, while working alone weeks later, Jason witnessed something that made him stop what he was doing and question whether the environment around him was as inactive as it appeared.What finally pushed the experience beyond coincidence came from someone else—an observation that raised more questions than answers and tied the moments together in an unsettling way.The cemetery was still quiet. Still peaceful. But Jason was no longer convinced it was empty.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #LParanormalActivity #HauntedCemetery #Unexplained #ParanormalEncounter #GhostPhoto #TrueGhostStory #Hauntings #CemeteryStoriesLove real ghost stories?

In a so-called k-shaped economy, higher earners head up on an upward angle, but lower earners, on the lower leg of the “k” drop behind. This bifurcation is also playing out in some corners of the travel industry as ultrahigh-net worth travelers spend to snap up the top level suites, but travelers with less resources are slower to book entry-level rooms. In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin talks with hotels editor Christina Jelski and Jon Makhmaltchi, the founder of J.Mak hospitality, about how hotel companies are physically configuring their properties to appeal to those at top of the k, the pitfalls of over-relying on one market segment and how hotels and advisors are working to attract entry-level and aspirational luxury travelers. This episode was recorded Jan. 22 and has been edited for length and clarity.

Civilizations don't usually collapse overnight — they erode quietly, through comfort, distraction, and forgotten values. In this reflective episode, we explore what history reveals about meaning, drift, and inner decline through stories like the Roman Empire and the Maya civilization. But this isn't just about the past. It's about the subtle ways we lose our own sense of purpose while life looks “fine” on the surface. You'll also walk away with five simple practices to rebuild meaning, return to what matters, and stay steady in uncertain times.

Nothing short of an absolute brawl at Davos. President Trump storms the globalist stronghold with a nationalist message that leaves the UN, NATO, and Europe reeling. From Greenland to Ukraine, China to Russia, this speech rips the mask off the so-called “international order.” Seats left empty. Deals ripped up. And a world order on the brink of collapse. This wasn't diplomacy — it was a warning shot.

College dorms are meant to be temporary places. You move in, you move out, and eventually, someone else takes your room. But some spaces don't seem to let go quite so easily.In this story, a quiet, introverted student is living far from home, sharing a nearly empty dormitory built decades earlier. Late one night, while doing something ordinary—something almost no one else is awake to do—she hears a sound that shouldn't be possible. Then a laugh. Then a question, spoken clearly, from a place she has already confirmed is empty.What makes the experience harder to dismiss isn't just what she hears, but how familiar the voice sounds—as if it knows the rules of the building, the habits of its residents, and what should or shouldn't be done after midnight.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #DormRoomHaunting #CollegeGhostStory #TrueParanormal #HauntedDorm #LateNightEncounters #TrueGhostStory #UnexplainedVoices #ParanormalExperience #DisembodiedVoicesLove real ghost stories?

Home alone with a babysitter, she looked out a window and saw something that shouldn't have existed… and learned years later that the house next door had a disturbing history. She was just six years old, standing at her bedroom window late at night, waiting for her parents to come home. What she noticed instead was the abandoned house next door… and two figures standing on its terrace.They didn't move. They didn't speak.  They shouldn't have been there at all.What followed wasn't a haunting filled with sounds or shadows—but a lasting sense of fear that reshaped how she felt in her own home for decades. As she grew older, small pieces of information surfaced about the neighboring house, the land it stood on, and the unsettling reputation that surrounded it.#trueghoststories #paranormalencounter #hauntedhouse #unexplainedphenomena #realparanormal #creepystories #ghostsightings #paranormalpodcast #trueparanormalstories #hauntingexperienceLove real ghost stories?
