What does the energy of July hold for YOU? I was so curious about this question that I picked THREE oracle cards just for YOU, and I didn't get a message just for July… I got a message for the second half of 2025 too! In this episode, I share the three oracle cards I picked just for YOU from the Sacred Traveler deck, and weave together the THEME for this month AND for the rest of 2025!  These cards reflect the shift in energy that began at the Solstice and are inviting us to utilize the second half of the year to clear the way for a miraculous 2026!   Key Learnings: 1) The energy shift began at the Solstice and will continue through the second half of the year. The first card I chose for you for July is the Distant Thunder card, which invites us to ‘clear the air' and quite literally clear our space! Take stock of what supports you and what is no longer needed, and let go of whatever you no longer need. 2) The second card is Traveling Lightly, which invites us to simplify our lives! This card expands on the first card, but gets a little more specific in helping us let go of mental clutter as well. 3) The last card is Solitude and the message is ‘In Silence, Peace Prevails.' This card is for the second half of the year and it encourages us to bring our attention inward. This card does not mean you will be alone, but rather it encourages you to seek time alone to be with God. All three of these cards are helping us to clear up any loose ends, as it is a 9 year in numerology, a time of completion. This will help us lay a fresh foundation in 2026, which is a 1 year, a brand new cycle.   “Do not allow your circumstances to determine your faith.

Director James Gunn promises a beacon of hope, kindness, and decency, a sharp contrast to the grim hero we last saw.

Michael G. Williams returns to share his collected novellas: Servant Sovereign AND his latest novel, Children of Solitude. We talk about real estate demons being thwarted by witches dipping through time, and then about supernatural horror as a genre that truly peels back the human experience and forces characters (and us) to find joy and love through the dark times! https://www.michaelgwilliamsbooks.com/  http://www.wrotepodcast.com/michael-g-williams/ 

Have you ever felt like you were meant for more? What would you do if money wasn’t a factor? Today, Jay joins The Pivot Podcast for a conversation that explores the beauty, discomfort, and transformation found in life’s biggest pivots. Sitting down with hosts Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder, and Ryan Clark, Jay opens up about the fear of being seen starting from zero, the discipline forged through solitude, and the inner strength that comes from committing to a life of purpose. Throughout the episode, Jay and the hosts dive into the difference between passion and purpose, the value of consistency over talent, and why the most meaningful success often starts small. With candor and warmth, Jay also shares insights on love, authenticity, and mindfulness, reminding listeners that who we become is shaped not by how the world sees us, but by how we see ourselves. The conversation is raw, reflective, and often humorous, touching on everything from identity and appearance to relationships and emotional maturity. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Start from Zero Without Fear How to Build Confidence Through Solitude How to Stay Grounded in a World of Noise How to Know If It’s Time to Pivot How to Let Go Without Calling It a Failure How to Make Stillness Your Superpower How to Discover Purpose by Collecting, Then Connecting Whether you're rebuilding, realigning, or simply reflecting, this episode offers the grounded wisdom and practical tools to navigate it all.

What if being single and childfree wasn't a consolation prize—but a portal to deep peace, freedom, and joy? In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by the vibrant and wonderful Lucy Meggeson—host of the Thrive Solo podcast and author of the book by the same name (or Shiny Happy Singles if you're in the UK). Together, we explore the liberation, sovereignty, and delight that come from embracing a solo path. Lucy opens up about the moment she realized that singlehood was not just her circumstance—it was her choice and her joy. We unpack the outdated societal narratives that equate coupledom with success and lovingly challenge the stigma around choosing solitude. From reclaiming the word “selfish” to transmuting sexual energy into creative power, this episode is a bold manifesto for living life on your own terms. What we explore: Joyfully single is not an oxymoron—it's a lifestyle, a choice, and a liberation. Reclaiming “selfish” as self-honoring and soul-serving. Solitude fosters emotional regulation, clarity, and inner peace. The myth of the “less than” single woman must be dismantled. Sex, or the lack thereof, can be a channel for profound creative expression.   Loved this episode? Please share it with a woman who needs permission to put herself first.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 62nd New York Film Festival with Afternoons of Solitude director Albert Serra. An NYFF62 Spotlight selection, Afternoons of Solitude opens at Film at Lincoln Center on June 28. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/solitude This conversation was moderated by FLC Vice President, Programming, Florence Almozini. Albert Serra trains a patient and poetic lens on the dazzling pomp and devastating brutality of bullfighting in his new documentary portrait of the charismatic Peruvian-born star torero Andrés Roca Rey. Intensely in-the-moment, Afternoons of Solitude expertly balances the visceral thrill of the battle inside the ring, pitting animal instinct against human technique, with a filmmaking style that allows the viewer to appreciate the emotional and physical toll the violence takes on both man and beast. Unflinching yet reflective, Serra's film is a monumental depiction of the persistence of the primitive in the present day, while acknowledging the extraordinary skill of the man who puts his life and spiritual endurance at risk as he faces down rampaging nature.

Spiritual formation is the process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others. Disciplines create the space for that formation to happen in and through us as we encounter the presence and power of God.Our All-Family Gatherings begin with a short workshop or story on missional living and/or microchurches. This week, we continue our series of workshops on spiritual formation and disciplines with a guided meditation around the practice of silence and solitude.

Marie de Hennezel nous invite à méditer amoureusement sur notre solitude. Qu'elle soit subie ou choisie, la solitude est le propre de l'être humain. Une expérience impartageable, que nous rencontrons tous dans nos vies. Pour réussir ce qu'elle appelle notre voyage vers notre intériorité, Marie de Hennezel nous offre de nombreuses clés. Pour sa quatrième participation à Zeteo, elle commente certains extraits de son nouveau livre : Dans son très riche Dictionnaire amoureux de la solitude, elle apporte son regard personnel et profond, fruit d'une "longue promenade solitaire", éclairée par de nombreux personnalités marquantes, artistes, écrivains, religieux, héros du quotidien, artistes... À tous les âges, la solitude nous accompagne au quotidien. Quand elle est subie, après une rupture, un deuil, avec la maladie ou avec le grand-âge. Il s'agit alors de l'isolement, un véritable fléau qu'il faut combattre personnellement et solidairement pour en soulager les plus fragiles. Quand elle est accueillie et même attendue. La solitude est le lieu indispensable pour le dialogue intérieur, celui du ressourcement psychologique, de l'inspiration personnelle, de l'écoute de notre voix intérieure, de nos rêves et de nos désirs. La solitude est aussi un lieu de rencontre, pour nous connecter aux grands courants de sagesse et de spiritualité, avec les maîtres que sont les artistes comme les mystiques, avec les réalités spirituelles, dont les entités invisibles,  et même l'ange gardien sur lequel Marie de Hennezel aime se pencher particulièrement. Une exploration intime et apaisante, pour aller aux sources de notre être, pour éclairer les zones d'ombres qui obstruent souvent notre liberté intérieure, et pour aller ainsi au devant de tous nos prochains avec harmonie et puissance.

POUR QUE ZETEO PASSE L'ÉTÉ  Chers amis, chers auditeurs de Zeteo, Comme chaque année à la même période, nous voyons arriver l'été avec la joie de la perspective des beaux jours, des temps de repos et des retrouvailles avec ceux qui nous sont chers, des voyages… et, nous l'espérons aussi, du ressourcement personnel. Celui auquel nous invite Marie de Hennezel dans l'épisode que nous diffusons dès aujourd'hui. Avec l'intelligence, la profondeur et la grâce que nous lui connaissons, elle nous propose une exploration intérieure au plus intime de chacun de nous. Pour y rencontrer la paix, la libération, l'estime de soi, et l'élan pour aller, renouvelés, vers les autres. Nous avons une pensée pour tous ceux pour qui la saison estivale n'est pas synonyme de vacances. Particulièrement ceux qui sont malades, ceux qui souffrent, ceux qui vivent dans des conditions difficiles voire impossibles (notamment ceux qui subissent les guerres tout autour de nous), ceux qui sont seuls… Cet épisode est aussi pour eux. Il révèle bien des ressources indispensables à tous, notamment ceux qui sont fragiles. Pour Zeteo, à cette période de l'année, nous sommes un peu comme celui qui contemple la traversée qui l'attend. Une traversée riche en aventures et en rencontres : Comme chaque année, nous n'interromperons pas nos diffusions, et nous vous proposerons chaque semaine de nouveaux épisodes.   Les temps que nous vivons sont intenses. Nous ressentons un réel besoin d'apporter chaque semaine la Bonne Nouvelle. Heureusement, elle ne part jamais en vacances. Et nous voulons au contraire profiter de cette période estivale propice à la réflexion pour continuer de la faire vivre et de la diffuser : nos audiences en été sont toujours élevées. Cette traversée est toujours incertaine. Au cours des semaines à venir, notre effort ne faiblira pas. Notre besoin de soutien ne diminuera non plus. Il se prononcera peut-être avec plus d'importance : Au cœur de l'été, il est fréquent que les donateurs se raréfient. D'où ce message et cet appel, cette semaine, particulièrement à ceux qui apprécient Zeteo, qui peuvent contribuer à notre effort et prendre ainsi une part décisive pour permettre la diffusion gratuite de tous nos contenus. Comme à ceux qui ont déjà aidé par le passé, et qui pouraient à nouveau nous faire profiter de leur générosité. Nous sommes dans la confiance, l'accueil et la gratitude de ce qui surviendra. Et nous profitons de ce message pour remercier ceux qui ont récemment fait un don à Zeteo. Belle entrée dans l'été 2025 à tous !

What if the quiet you've been craving finally showed up—and you didn't know what to do with it? I had a rare week alone, and what I thought would be full of luxury turned into a lesson in true rest, mental space, and what peace actually feels like.

This week, Shat the Movies finally kneels before Zod—and listener Chris Lloyd—by reviewing Superman II (1980), the sequel that gave us Terrence Stamp's immortal sneer, Margot Kidder's bathrobe thirst, and Christopher Reeve's blue-eyed beefcake perfection. This episode dives headfirst into the Donner vs. Lester debate, asks how much ejaculate the Fortress of Solitude can handle, and questions Lois Lane's true intentions once Clark Kent drops the glasses—and the powers. Gene and Big D examine everything from Superman's bizarre morality and dubious revenge tactics to the wildly impractical Phantom Zone prison system. They also debate if memory-wiping kisses and cellophane logos deserve a place in superhero canon and why Perry White's newsroom features a threatening photo of Bill Cosby. Whether you're team “Mormon Dad Superman” or “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex,” this episode delivers laughs, awkward truths, and more than a few inappropriate questions about Kryptonian sex. Plot Summary After banishing Kryptonian rebels General Zod, Ursa, and Non to the Phantom Zone, Superman continues his life as Clark Kent—until a hydrogen bomb explosion in space releases the trio. Landing on Earth, they gain Superman's powers from the yellow sun and quickly set their sights on global domination. Meanwhile, Lois Lane grows suspicious of Clark's identity, prompting him to reveal his secret and sacrifice his powers to be with her. But when Zod and his cronies begin wreaking havoc—and Lex Luthor joins their side—Superman must reclaim his abilities and protect humanity. The final showdown brings the villains to the Fortress of Solitude, where Superman uses brains over brawn to save the world, while also redefining the meaning of romantic boundaries with a memory-erasing kiss.

Solitude isn't always isolation—it can be where healing begins. Bridgett is joined by Jesse Cody, founder of Hike The Good Hike, a nonprofit he created to help people reconnect with nature as a modality for mental health. After years of struggling with trauma, depression, and suicidal ideation, Jesse turned to the outdoors—a choice that led him to walk over 16,000 miles across the U.S. and fueled his mission to advocate for mental wellness. His personal healing journey sparked a deep passion for men's mental health and his belief that telling your story can be the spark that ignites someone else's.You can see more of Jesse's work on his Instagram, LinkedIn, and by visiting hikethegoodhike.org.Takeaways:Self-sabotage often stems from deep-seated trauma and insecurityHealing begins with acknowledging childhood painNature can reconnect us to our inner selvesVulnerability is a form of courageSupportive community matters in the healing processHiking can be a powerful mental health toolSolitude allows for reflection and emotional processingMen are finding the courage to open upEmpathy is vital, especially for the youthSafe spaces make healing possibleSubscribe to the newsletter: https://beyondbeautyproject.myflodesk.com/newsletter Learn about Keynotes & Workshops: https://www.beyondbeautyproject.com/workwithme For more, you can follow Beyond Beauty Project on Instagram, YouTube, and visit our website!Produced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

Ryan Fehr is a business professor at the University of Washington, where he teaches courses on leadership and personal change. His research focuses on helping people build more joyful and energizing relationships, with a particular interest in gratitude, compassion, and forgiveness. His work has been featured in news outlets such as the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. His first book, focused on helping people build the skills they need for joyful, energizing relationships, is scheduled for publication in the Fall. In this episode we discuss the following: As Ryan said, it's okay to feel burned out by other people sometimes: 72% of parents say they're constantly stressed, 75% said they're too busy to enjoy their lives, and when workers quit, 57% say it's because their relationships are too much. Each of us has a different set point for how much alone time we need, so we should be thoughtful about how to cultivate solitude that energizes us. For Ryan, cultivating solitude that energizes him means going to movies, restaurants, or even new cities alone. At his daughter's elementary school, that meant providing a room for students to take a break from the dance and watch a movie. Going to networking events can be overwhelming for some people. So a strategy Ryan recommends is to just try to have one meaningful conversation.

Before the books, the quotes, and the millions of readers, there was a personal reckoning: addiction, overstimulation, and the need to change from the inside out. Meditation became the turning point, helping him rebuild his relationship with stillness, discipline, and emotional honesty.Diego's new release "How to Love Better" is out now: https://lnk.bio/a8IF00:00 Introduction02:00 How Diego created the Young Pueblo pen name and what it means04:31 Partying hard at university and realising it was self-avoidance06:13 Health collapse at 23 and the wake-up call that changed everything08:46 Rugby, gym life, and how Mike avoided spiralling at university10:14 Early motivations behind Mike's fitness journey11:47 Building discipline through meditation and the “mental gym” concept13:08 Why you don't need to become a monk to master resilience14:38 How Silent 45-day retreats reset personal growth and relationships16:45 Why Diego invests heavily in silent retreats every year18:04 Meditation, scrolling addictions, and wisdom22:23 Diego's relationship with emotions29:17 Why communication matters more than mind reading31:06 Should you grow with a partner or find someone already emotionally aware?35:03 Dating apps, and the dangers of chasing 2% better40:27 Mike's experience thriving after living alone for the first time42:47 Solitude, presence, and why personal growth fuels better relationships51:11 Learning to trust your intuition over generic dating advice54:35 Mike and Diego reflect on career, self-knowledge, and relationship priorities1:01:31 Handling conflict properly instead of expecting endless peace1:10:02 Compassionate venture capital investing and startup mental health1:18:16 Shifting social media landscapes and why newsletters matter more now1:21:03 Loving the creative process and protecting deep work» Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life: https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique: https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST: https://thrstofficial.com» Custom Bioniq supplements: https://www.bioniq.com/mikethurston • 40% off your first month of Bioniq GO • 20% off your first month of Bioniq PRO» Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/» Join WHOOP – get your first month for free: https://join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst» Follow DiegoHow to Love Better: https://lnk.bio/a8IFInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yung_puebloArticle: https://yungpueblo.substack.com/

This is one of my favorite episodes of the show in recent memory. It's a conversation with the author Salman Rushdie about the experience of losing control of your identity in the world. This happened to Rushdie in the most extreme way. But many of us know some milder version of this — and increasingly so in the age of social media. Rushdie's story is hard to wrap your mind around. When he published his fourth novel, “The Satanic Verses,” in 1988, he was a literary star. And then the Ayatollah of Iran issued a fatwa calling for his assassination. In this episode, Rushdie recounts the ways that upended his world, creating a “shadow self” that he would spend years trying to escape. And he reflects on the different ways he's wrestled with that shadow self — in the years following the fatwa and then more recently, after a 2022 knife attack that nearly killed him.This episode was originally recorded in April 2024. Mentioned:Knife by Salman RushdieMidnight's Children by Salman RushdieBook Recommendations:Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, translated by Edith GrossmanOne Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García MárquezThe Trial by Franz KafkaThe Castle by Franz KafkaThoughts?

Most of us are so used to notifications and alerts, pings and rings that even if we don't want to be on our phones so much, we don't know how to change it. Yet the constant flow of information is actually harming our brains, relationships, and emotional well-being, even if we don't realize it. Today's guest, author and podcaster Carlos Whittaker, made a radical decision to disconnect from screens for two whole months, and what he learned will blow you away!  He shares what tech is really doing to our brains, the benefits of getting lost and being bored, and how disconnecting leads to reconnecting. Don't worry—he's not suggesting you go off-grid like he did, but explains how it's possible to find balance. So, whether you're feeling burned out, overstimulated, or just curious about how to be more mindful with your screen time, listen in! This conversation will give you practical, actionable steps to help you reset and reconnect—with others and with God.

This episode dives into the brutal, mind-altering experience of spending 60 days alone in Antarctica, and how extreme suffering became a catalyst for spiritual awakening, peak performance, and deep inner peace. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves. Akshay's journey through darkness retreats, trauma healing, and polar expeditions opens a raw and unfiltered look at self-quantification, mental resilience, and human performance at the edge. This episode will challenge your assumptions about comfort, suffering, and what it means to live fully awake. Whether you're optimizing for longevity, exploring consciousness, or breaking free from invisible scripts, this conversation blends science, spirituality, and hardcore biohacking with moments of unexpected humor and wisdom. You'll Learn: • How intentional pain resets your dopamine response and boosts performance • Why Akshay chose fasting and cold exposure over nootropics and psychedelics • How darkness retreats and solitude sharpen consciousness and intuition • The neuroscience behind pain, trauma, and transformation • Why true freedom lies in facing discomfort—not avoiding it • How to find God in suffering and create meaning from chaos Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.
