Podcasts about Ghosting

Today's daily comedy episode proves two things: kids are expensive, and karaoke should absolutely require a permit.We kick things off with an email that had the entire studio arguing like a courtroom drama sponsored by Fisher-Price. A military family's kid chucks a Lego at a friend's 75-inch QLED TV (because of course it was a 75-inch QLED), leaving a tiny but permanent “oops” mark. They do the right thing and offer to replace it — $1,200 later — only to find out the “damaged” TV is getting relocated to the daughter's room. Wait… what? Is that justice? Is that capitalism? Is that just the cost of letting children exist in your home? Rizz, Moon, and King Scott debate responsibility, friendship, and whether the real solution is simply moving to a new town and changing your identity.Then we dive into the wildest dating trend we've heard in a while: “Alpine Divorce.” It sounds like a seasonal IPA. It is not. It's apparently when someone strands their partner in the wilderness as punishment. Romantic! Nothing says “I love you” like abandoning someone mid-hike because they forgot a water bottle. We unpack the psychology behind it and question how this is even a thing. Ghosting? Bad. Ghost-lighting? Worse. Alpine Divorce? Congratulations, you're on a watch list.And then — because we care about the people — we establish the official list of karaoke songs that should be considered arrestable offenses. Whitney Houston? Jail. Bohemian Rhapsody? Straight to court. “My Heart Will Go On”? Emotional felony. The crew breaks down the crimes, the charges, and the sentencing guidelines for murdering everyone's ears at your local bar. It's the kind of public service announcement only a true daily comedy show would dare to provide.Between parenting disasters, dating red flags, and musical war crimes, this episode has everything you expect from your favorite St. Louis daily comedy chaos factory.You've been warned.

Silicon Bites Ep294 | 2026-03-01 | Russia is the best ally, until things get real, and a response is requested. Is Putin ‘ghosting' the Iranian regime, and reneging on mutual security commitments? What is the value of an alliances when one side weasels out in the moment of dire need? And are the U.S. and Russia vying to see who can be the very worst of allies within their circle of ‘partners'? Russia seeming to dump Iran also brings up the question of whether security guarantees mean anything at all in this post-truth, post-order world. Geopolitics is purely transactional, and it seems that all alliances are contingent – no commitments solid or binding. Ukraine should also take note – that agreements and treaties mean nothing to Russia, and perhaps the U.S. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Reuters on Putin's response and absence of mutual defence clause (March 1, 2026).

What do you do when brand deals fall through, clients ghost you, and you start wondering… is it me? Behind the scenes of the last few weeks, things have felt heavy. Two brand partnerships pulled out last minute. A six-year partnership ended. Clients committed and backed out. Someone said she was ready to buy… and then disappeared without a word. In this episode, I'm sharing what it really looks like to build a seven-figure brand when success and rejection coexist in the same week. This is a conversation about business resilience, brand volatility, human inconsistency, online trust, and what it means to build something sustainable in 2026 and beyond. Tune in to hear: What it feels like when brand partnerships pull out unexpectedly Clients committing, paying, and then wanting to back out The emotional impact of being ghosted after a sales call Business rejection versus personal identity Why success and disappointment can coexist in the same season The pressure of decision-making in motherhood The future of online brands in the AI era Why likes don't matter but trust does Selling on social media in 2026 and what's shifting Building resilience instead of reacting to rejection Why mentorship matters most during uncertain seasons   Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy   Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale

260223PC Stalking – Gaslightning - GhostingMensch Mahler meint am 23.02.2026Ich musste in den zurückliegenden Jahren viel lernen. Vor allen Dingen in der Psychologie. Alles hatte mit meiner Depression, der posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung, dem Tod unserer Tochter, meinem Krebs und der Fürsorge für die Jungs meiner verstorbenen Tochter zu tun.Einen Begriff kannte ich schon. Stalking. Dazu braucht man nichts zu erläutern. Der abgeblitzte Partner verfolgt und bedroht die Person, die ihn verlassen hat. Verflucht werden – das kannte ich nicht. Das ist massiv geschehen, dass ich verflucht wurde. Gott sei Dank habe ich einen starken Glauben und ein großes Selbstbewusstsein, so dass der Fluch an mir abgeprallt ist, bevor er seine zerstörerische Wirkung entfalten konnte. Neu war der Begriff Gaslighting. Gaslighting ist eine subtile Form der psychischen Manipulation und Gewalt, bei der Täter die Realitätswahrnehmung ihrer Opfer gezielt verzerren, um Unsicherheit zu säen, das Selbstvertrauen zu zerstören und Kontrolle auszuüben. Betroffene zweifeln zunehmend an ihrem eigenen Verstand, ihrer Erinnerung und ihren Gefühlen. Gaslighting war der Grund, dass meine Tochter im Wahnsinn endete.Einen anderen Begriff kenne ich erst seit ein paar Tagen. Ghosting. Ghosting bezeichnet den plötzlichen Kontaktabbruch einer Person, meist beim Dating oder in Beziehungen, ohne Vorwarnung oder Erklärung. Nachrichten werden ignoriert, Anrufe blockiert und die Person wird sprichwörtlich zum "Geist". Dies verursacht oft große emotionale Verletzungen, da ein klärender Abschluss fehlt. Es ist oft ein Zeichen mangelnder Reife oder Konfliktscheu des Verursachers. Und man selbst wird zum Opfer und kann sich nicht wehren. In drei Konfliktsituationen ist mir das in jüngster Zeit passiert. Um aus der Opferrolle herauszukommen, hilft nur eines: Trennung. Seit ich diese in allen drei Fällen zunächst innerlich vollzogen habe, fühle ich mich befreit. Man muss unbedingt das Heft das Handelns in der Hand behalten, sonst geht man kaputt. Hosted on Acast.

When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Heike Niemeier, Sexualberaterin, systemische Coach und Autorin, über ein Thema, das viele betrifft und doch selten offen besprochen wird: Lust, Sexualität und Sichtbarkeit von Frauen ab 50.Heike erzählt von ihrem eigenen radikalen Berufswechsel . vom internationalen Eventmanagement hin zur Sexualberatung und davon, warum Veränderung in jedem Alter möglich ist. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Frauen ihren Körper oft erst spät wirklich kennenlernen, warum Lust weniger mit Technik als mit Genuss und Selbstwahrnehmung zu tun hat und weshalb Sexualität im Alltag häufig durch kleine, unausgesprochene Verletzungen blockiert wird.Wir sprechen über Selbstbewusstsein, weibliche Lust und darüber, wie Frauen ihre Wünsche wieder spüren und klarer ausdrücken können in Beziehungen und für sich selbst. Heike teilt Praxisimpulse zu Kommunikation, Neugier und kleinen Ritualen, die Nähe und Lust stärken, und ordnet gesellschaftliche Tabus, Dating-Frust und Ghosting ein. Ein ehrliches Gespräch über Genuss, Selbstbestimmung und erfüllte Sexualität jenseits von Leistungsdruck.Zum Schluss sprechen wir über Heikes Buch mit einem Callboy und darüber, was es für Frauen bedeuten kann, Sexualität selbstbestimmt zu leben. Wir schauen darauf, welche Tabus dabei berührt werden . und worauf es ankommt, wenn jemand darüber nachdenkt, einen Callboy zu beauftragen. Es geht um Sicherheit, klare Absprachen und darum, sich selbst und die eigenen Wünsche ernst zu nehmen.Shownotes⁠Webseite von Heike Niemeier,⁠ Sexualberaterin, Coach, Autorin, sie bietet auch Einsamkeits-Workshops mit ihrer Kollegin Janet Friedel an ⁠Buch von Heike Niemeier und Callboy Kevin⁠: „Der Callboy und die Sexualberaterin: Eine überfällige Ermunterung für Frauen (UND Männer)“  über weibliche Lust, Selbstbestimmung und männliche Sexarbeit, Hg: Vast Chili Nova⁠⁠Plattform zur Suche von Callboys⁠⁠Dr. Ruth Westheimer, bekannte US-amerikanische Sexualberaterin und Pionierin der sexuellen Aufklärung im Radio: ⁠Spielfilm/Dokumentation über Dr. Ruth Westheimer⁠⁠Website zur Anzeige ⁠bei unerwünschten Bilderzuschriften (Screenshot melden und Anzeige erstatten)⁠Webseite von Annas Akademie:⁠Den Beziehungsboost bekommst Du über die Akademie, dort sind alle Kurse und Angebote sichtbar. 

In diesem YouTube-Livestream beantworte ich live eure Fragen rund um Dating, Partnersuche, Frauen verstehen und moderne Mann-Frau-Dynamiken. Viele Männer haben heute das Gefühl, dass Dating komplizierter geworden ist als je zuvor. Trotz gutem Job, Bildung oder persönlicher Weiterentwicklung scheitern sie immer wieder daran, eine passende Partnerin zu finden. Genau darüber sprechen wir heute offen und ehrlich. Im Live-Q&A geht es um Frauenpsychologie, Anziehung aufbauen, Dating-Strategien für Männer, Online-Dating, Frauen ansprechen im Alltag, erste Dates, Bindung, Auswahl der richtigen Partnerin und die häufigsten Denkfehler von zu netten oder verkopften Männern. Ich erkläre, warum viele Männer trotz Einsatz keinen Erfolg haben, warum Frauen oft widersprüchlich wirken und wie man Dating heute strategisch, klar und planbar angehen kann. Der Livestream richtet sich besonders an Männer über 30, Unternehmer, Selbstständige, Akademiker und Männer mit wenig Zeit, die Dating nicht länger dem Zufall überlassen wollen. Wenn du verstehen willst, wie Frauen wirklich ticken, wie Anziehung entsteht und wie du als Mann souverän, authentisch und ohne Spielchen eine erfüllte Partnerschaft aufbauen kannst, bist du hier richtig. Du kannst deine Fragen live im Chat stellen. Egal ob es um Online-Dating, Ghosting, Friendzone, Frauen verstehen, Unsicherheit beim Ansprechen, Bindungsdynamiken oder die Auswahl einer passenden Partnerin geht – ich gehe direkt darauf ein und teile meine Erfahrung aus vielen Jahren als Dating Coach.

Für Betroffene ist es ein äußerst schmerzvolles Erlebnis: Eine ihnen nahestehende Person bricht plötzlich und ohne Vorwarnung den Kontakt ab, ist wie vom Erdboden verschluckt. Nachrichten und Anrufe laufen ins Leere. Da ist einfach nichts mehr. Wer "geghostet" wurde, bleibt meist ratlos und mit vielen Fragen im Kopf zurück: "Wie konnte es soweit kommen?", "Was habe ich falsch gemacht?", "Wieso tut er/sie mir das an?". Antworten darauf hat Ann-Marlene – und zwar reichlich. Denn wer ghostet, gibt mehr von sich preis, als es ihm oder ihr in dem Moment bewusst ist. Am Ende ist es, wie so oft, auch eine Frage der Reife und des Selbstwerts. Aber hört selbst.

Most sales opportunities aren't lost at the end; they're lost in the very first meeting. In this episode of Sales Lead Dog, Chris sits down with sales strategist and bestselling author Lee Salz, creator of The First Meeting Differentiator, to unpack why traditional “discovery calls” are broken and what top-performing sales professionals do instead. Lee explains why salespeople rely too heavily on logic, features, and self-focused questions… while buyers leave meetings feeling like they got no value. The result? Ghosting, stalled deals, poor qualification, and wasted pipeline time. You'll learn how to turn your first meeting into a consultative, value-driven conversation that builds emotional engagement, qualifies opportunities early, and creates clear next steps. If you're in B2B sales, sales leadership, or building a structured sales process, this episode is a masterclass in modern selling, qualification, and sales psychology.

They didn't leave. They just… disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. If you've ever been ghosted by a close friend or someone you loved, your brain probably didn't register a breakup. It got stuck. Stuck in a loop of ambiguous loss, searching for closure that never came. Today, we're breaking down the Psychology of Ghosting, why it hurts more than a normal breakup, why friendship breakups can cut even deeper, and why their silence is not a verdict on your worth. By the end of this episode, I want you to see something clearly: Their disappearance is not rejection. It's incapacity. Make Sense?

We're back for real for real this time, and giving you some depth to our hosts this week as we dive into who these women are.  In this engaging conversation, Dayna and Nina explore the evolution of dreams, the importance of living with purpose, and the impact of personal choices on their lives. They discuss the significance of self-expression through music, the challenges of ghosting in relationships, and the excitement of future plans. The ladies also delves into the lessons learned from a 75 Hard challenge, emphasizing resilience and personal growth.  takeaways Tailor-making your dreams is essential for personal fulfillment. Navigating career changes can lead to discovering your true purpose. Living with purpose means actively choosing what brings you joy. Ghosting can be a reflection of personal boundaries and self-care. Looking forward to small joys can enhance your overall happiness. Music can be a powerful form of self-expression and therapy. Lessons learned from challenges can lead to personal growth and resilience. It's important to prioritize your own happiness and interests. Self-assuredness is key to pursuing your dreams without fear of failure. Embracing change is a vital part of personal development.   We love dialogue!

What if clients aren't ghosting you… what if you're just not giving them a reason to stay engaged? This is Episode 2 of our Coaching Q&A series where I answer real questions from brokers in our community. In this episode, I unpack why clients go cold after discovery calls and what you can do to prevent it. From fixing how you frame your value to setting better expectations, this is a tactical deep dive into earning trust early and staying in control of the process. If leads are going quiet after the first call, this episode will show you what to change. We'll cover: Fixing the First Call – How to frame your value so clients actually follow through. Giving Them a Path – Why clients disappear when you don't clearly outline the next step. Removing Uncertainty – How ambiguity creates hesitation and how to eliminate it. Using Deadlines Strategically – When and how to give clients a decision window. Building Micro-Commitments – Small yeses that keep momentum going. Clients don't ghost when they feel clear, supported, and led. Take control early and watch your follow-through skyrocket.

Jeremy Au breaks down how venture capital really works after the check clears. He explains how VCs silently re-rank startups every year, why most companies get deprioritized, and how a tiny number of winners carry an entire fund. The discussion covers angel buyouts, secondaries, IPO strategy, and the tension between founders and boards during exits. It's a candid look at portfolio math, hidden incentives, and the survival rules founders rarely hear out loud. 01:47 The Hidden VC Scoreboard: Investment does not end evaluation. Partners continuously judge companies and shift attention toward expected winners. 04:45 The Brutal Portfolio Math: Most companies fail, a few return small wins, and one or two generate the 50x outcomes that power the entire fund. 06:20 Every Round Is a New Test: Each funding round resets conviction as investors decide whether to double down or step back. 13:25 Founder Vision vs. Board Incentives: Acquisition decisions split control from economics  founders want long-term vision while boards optimize for return timing.

Die Zeit zwischen der ersten Nachricht und dem Status "In einer Beziehung" ist ein wilder Ritt. Es ist das emotionale Niemandsland, in dem man sich fragt: Ist das jetzt ein Date oder "hängen wir nur ab"? Was macht eine gute Kennlernphase eigentlich aus? Reicht ein simpler Spaziergang oder muss es das ausgefallene Dinner sein? Wie findet man heraus, ob das Gegenüber die gleichen Zukunftspläne hat oder nur ein Profi im Ghosting ist? Und die wichtigste Frage: Wer traut sich heute eigentlich noch, den ersten Schritt zu machen?

When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

Is God really silent—or is He just preparing you for something greater? In this episode of Continuing the Conversation, Craig and Colin are back and unpack the often misunderstood "silent seasons" of our faith journey. From the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments to the quiet in our own lives, we explore why God might seem distant and how to navigate those moments with wisdom and trust. We also dive into Psalm 27, discuss the power of biblical rhythms, and share personal stories of waiting, confusion, and clarity. If you've ever asked, "Where is God right now?"—this episode is for you.

Posting great content isn't enough anymore, and that's where most brands are getting stuck. "Posting and ghosting" is a too-common approach that signals disinterest to both your audience and the algorithm, limiting your reach and stalling growth. In this episode, Emma breaks down the often-overlooked power of community management and why engagement is just as important as the content you post. You'll learn a simple, sustainable daily engagement system designed to help you grow visibility, build real relationships with your followers, and tactfully monetize your presence if you desire. From understanding inbound versus outbound engagement to learning why this work should always stay human (never automated), this episode offers practical, realistic guidance for founders at every stage. Even 30–60 minutes of intentional engagement can compound over time, driving reach, trust, and sales. If social media growth feels harder than it used to, this episode explains exactly why and what to do about it.

When God feels silent, Psalm 27 reminds us that steady faith can hold both confidence and confusion at the same time. This message invites us to choose to seek God's presence, trusting that even in the quiet, he is still here and he's not going anywhere.

Ever wish you could drop a problem account without triggering a one-star review? We dig into a step-by-step method for ending service gracefully, using clear language, respectful timelines, and smart psychology to leave on good terms and protect your reputation. If you've battled heavy debris, unpredictable seasonal leaf drops, or customers who won't fix failing equipment, this guide lays out exactly what to say and when to say it.We start with the real reasons pros let accounts go—bad access, nonstop leaves, heavy use, and chemical instability—and then show how to frame the exit around route consolidation instead of blame. You'll hear why “I'm out of your area” backfires, how a simple 30-day notice cools emotions, and how giving space can nudge reluctant owners to finally replace worn-out pumps and filters. We talk through the psychology of timing, the difference between standards and excuses, and the surprising power of leaving the backyard spotless on your way out.We also tackle sales and reputation risks most service businesses overlook. Ghosting leads and failing to deliver bids are magnets for angry reviews, so we share a clean solution: price high to reflect true effort when a pool isn't a fit. If they accept, your time is covered; if they decline, your brand stays intact. Finally, we cover when to refer a pool, when not to, and how small account bundles can be sold responsibly to tighten your route.If you're a pool service pro aiming for fewer headaches and stronger reviews, this playbook will help you exit with confidence and keep referrals flowing. Enjoy the episode, then subscribe, share with a fellow pro, and leave a review to tell us your smartest exit move.• main reasons to drop an account• consolidation as a respectful exit script• avoiding “out of area” excuses• handling customer neglect with timelines• using pricing to filter unwanted bids• answering calls and delivering bids to guard reputation• giving 30 days' notice and leaving the yard tidy• when to refer, when not to, and why•Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!
