Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this special edition of What's Your Spiritual Story?, philosopher Abigail Rosenthal sits down with her husband, Jerry L. Martin, for the most extended and personal telling of her spiritual story to date.Drawing on her memoir, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, Abigail traces the formation of her inner life from an Edenic childhood and early encounters with loss, to adolescent philosophical crisis, homesickness, and the search for a reality that could withstand time, absence, and illusion.Along the way, she reflects on formative influences, including Thomas Mann's Joseph novels, Homer's Odyssey, Gandhi, existentialism, political idealism, and the dangers of moral absolutism and ideological guilt.This conversation explores themes of time and impermanence, spiritual longing, innocence and disillusionment, femininity and intellectual life, and what it means to test ideas by living them.Abigail recounts her experiences in Paris, London, and the American academy, examining how philosophy, spirituality, and personal history intersect—and sometimes collide—in a woman's life.Rather than offering tidy conclusions, this episode presents a lived spiritual journey: one shaped by curiosity, risk, error, and hard-won clarity. It is a story about becoming—not only a philosopher, but a person capable of resisting illusion while remaining open to meaning.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your thoughts or questions at questions@godandautobiography.com

Ellen Kamhi, The Natural Nurse, talks with Dr. John Sanbonmatsu, author of “The Omnivore's Deception: What We Get Wrong about Meat, Animals, and Ourselves.  He is a Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he teaches Ethics, Existentialism, Philosophy of Technology, Critical Theory, Animal Studies, and other subjects.  In John Sanbonmatsu's view, killing and eating animals is unethical, regardless of whether they are "free range" or factory farmed. He reframes the question of animal agriculture from one of "sustainability" to one of existential and moral purpose, presenting a powerful case for the total abolition of the animal economy.

Cultivating happiness requires an active investment, yet some believe true personal growth only follows a "dark night of the soul." By navigating the tension between nihilism and existentialism, we transform an existential crisis into a search for fulfillment. Is discovering the meaning of life an individual pursuit, or is metaphysical life devoid of a moral truth? For a thoughtful exploration of meaning, happiness, and the human search for fulfillment, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with public policy professor, author, and thought leader in the science of wellbeing, Dr. Mark Fabian. Mark describes the existence of nihilism and existentialism within the social and political spectrum as well as the key differences in how they translate into happiness and personal growth. He highlights the beneficial effects of being of use in one's community. Like what you're hearing? WANT MORE SOUND IDEAS FOR DEEPER THINKING?

In this podcast we will be talking about 8 Life Lessons from Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre was one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism.  One of Sartre's key-concepts that is discussed or prevalent in almost all of his existentialist works is the notion of “Bad Faith”, which he uses to describe and critique how most people tend to deny their own freedom. Alongside his notion of Bad Faith, Sartre has discussed many aspects of existentialism and ideas on human life that are extremely helpful. So with that in mind, in this video we bring you 8 important life lessons derived from the works of Sartre.  01. Dare to act 02. Face your freedom 03. Take responsibility  04. Set an example 05. Embrace your fears 06. Don't let others define you 07. Don't follow a doctrine  08. Embrace your nothingness  I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 8 Life Lessons From Sartre will add value to your life.  Jean-Paul Sartre was a French playwright, screenwriter, political activist, literary critic, and one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism: the philosophy that says that humans are born a blank slate and are free to determine their own identity, behavior and goals. Sartre was born in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century and when he was around sixty years old, he was awarded the1964 Nobel Prize in Literature. He however refused the prize, claiming that “a writer should never allow himself to become an institution.” Sartre wrote many fictional and non-fictional books, essays and gave lectures on Existentialism. Some of his noted works are: Nausea, Being and Nothingness, Existentialism is a Humanism, and No Exit.

Yannick and Nicki have been facing some significant loss in their recent past and in this episode decided to discuss their journey of getting back into coaching clients. Grief and bereavement are experienced on a spectrum and everyone is ultimately navigating their own journey, but questions such as “When is it appropriate to see clients again?”, “Do I disclose what happened to my clients?”, “How do I stay focused on my client's issues?”, or “To what extent do I need to have processed my own loss before I can work with clients efficiently?” are certainly questions that many coaches are asking themselves after facing significant challenges. TakeawaysGrief is a universal experience that can deeply impact personal and professional life.Self-disclosure in coaching can create deeper connections and open meaningful conversations.Personal experiences of loss can enrich coaching practices by adding depth and empathy.Existential reflections on grief can lead to personal growth and resilience.Opening conversations about grief can help normalize the experience and support others in their journeys.ChaptersIntroduction and Context (00:00 - 02:30)Personal Experiences with Grief (02:31 - 08:45)Grief and Coaching (08:46 - 18:20)Existential Reflections (18:21 - 28:10)Concluding Thoughts (28:11 - End)KeywordsGrief, Coaching, Self-disclosure, Existentialism, Personal growth, Emotional resilience, Human connection, Loss, Reflection, Authenticity____If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, continue the conversation or generally support what we do: Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoachingSign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2cSupport the showSupport the show

What happens when a former military cop, existentialist philosopher, and Substack firebrand walks into a podcast? You get this riveting conversation between Corey and Christopher Armitage, who pulls no punches when it comes to democracy, resistance, and why “soft secession” might be the only sane response to creeping authoritarianism. Chris is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, prolific writer, and founder of The Existentialist Republic. From his early days in New Jersey wrestling circles to his transformation into an outspoken advocate for “soft secession,” Chris shares deeply personal reflections and bold policy ideas aimed at confronting rising authoritarianism in America. Through a mix of dark humor, philosophical grounding, and actionable insights, Chris breaks down: What “soft secession” really means (hint: it's not Civil War 2.0), How localism and economic independence can fortify democracy, What ICE agents, serotonin, and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common, And why writing with relentless truth might be the ultimate form of resistance. This isn't just another political chat—it's a defibrillator for the democratic spirit. ⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics [00:00] Welcome & Chris's multi-faceted background [00:04] Jersey roots, high school wrestling, and joining the Air Force [00:07] Serving as military police & navigating mental health in public service [00:13] From law enforcement to Substack: becoming a full-time writer [00:16] On Project 2025, ICE, authoritarianism, and systemic corruption [00:24] What is “soft secession” and why does it matter now?
