Rebecca is excited to chat with Dr. Kasia Van Schaik about her latest book, Women Among Monuments: Solitude, Permission, and the Pursuit of Female Genius,  published on February 17, 2026 by Dundurn Books.  https://www.dundurn.com/books_/t22117/a9781459752627-women-among-monuments : A lyrical meditation on the enduring obstacles women artists and writers face in a world still unaccustomed to recognizing female genius. What does it take for a woman to don the mantle of genius — a title long reserved for male artists? From her studies in Montreal to a dead-end job in Berlin, a midnight tour of Paris, a bankrupt art residency on the Toronto Islands, and a mysterious sculpture garden in the Karoo desert, South African—Canadian author and professor Kasia Van Schaik considers what it means for a young woman to call herself an artist and claim a creative life. Drawing on a diverse web of literary and cultural sources and artistic icons — from Georgia O'Keeffe to Ana Mendieta, Gertrude Stein to Jamaica Kincaid, Leslie Marmon Silko to Bernadette Mayer — Women Among Monuments asks, What, beyond a room of one's own, are the necessary conditions for female genius? Where does the inner flint of artistic permission come from? What is the oxygen that keeps it burning? In her memoir interwoven with incisive biographies of female solitude, constraint, and perseverance, Van Schaik blazes a trail for more inclusive artmaking practices, communities, and monuments.   Books and Authors mentioned: The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Along by Olivia Lainy Ginny Ross series (Amelia Earhart) by Heather Stemp  Voyage in the Dark; Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson https://www.unb.ca/faculty-staff/directory/arts-fr-english/van-schaik-kasia.html https://gillerprize.ca/scotiabank-giller-prize-spotlight-kasia-van-schaik/ https://www.instagram.com/kasia_writes https://electricliterature.com/why-i-left-men-for-books/

How often do you feel “out of love”? Not just being alone physically, but feeling so alone that nothing around you seems to have any effect resembling a heart-warming feeling. On top of those, add to the mix not feeling worthy, or appreciated, or being unloveable… oh, these are “deadly” moments that no one wants to go through. And yet, we all have experienced it at some point. Let's see today how we deal with it, when there is no one around us to lift us up.

Ben Chase begins our new series on Solitude with a sermon called A Quiet Place. This sermon series is based on resources provided by Practicing The Way. Sunday February 23rd, 2026.

Our conversations sometimes take on a life of their own.  In this topic we talk about the trelationship with solitude in our personal, mental, physical and even spiritual life.  

Pastor Nate Hobert begins our series showing the priority, formation, and practice of solitude deepens our relationship with God, forms our identity, and equips us to live out His purposes in the world.

Nick Jeffery read Robert Browning's The Ring and the Book, a Victorian epic poem about a murder mystery in 17th Century Italy, to test a theory. John Granger's best guess after surveying the chapter headings of Hallmarked Man last September was that, of all 77 sources for the 139 epigraphs in Strike8, Browning's poem was the most likely to hold a secret message or special meaning inside it. John had said something similar about another Browning poem and Ink Black Heart, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Aurora Leigh, and Nick had confirmed that through his own reading and confirmation by Rowling herself. He thought John's track record of spotting important epigraph sources merited a test reading.He published his findings on Friday in a post titled ‘The Ring and The Book – A Rowling Reading.' In brief, the murder in Browning's poem is a point-to-point model for the Ironbridge murder mystery in Hallmarked Man with characters in Rowling-Galbraith's book — most notably, Chloe Griffiths, Tyler Powell, and Ian Griffiths — having their astonishing equivalents in Ring. The less obvious but more important links between the two are in their implicit feminism and other messages: Both works critique abusive relationships and patriarchal power: Guido's control of Pompilia and Dino Longcaster's control of Decima Mullins. The legal system (Books 8–9 especially) is satirized as formalistic, pedantic, and often blind to moral reality. True justice requires personal moral intuition beyond mere evidence or procedure. The Pope's monologue (Book 10) weighs this tension most profoundly. In The Hallmarked Man the police are slow to act on new information gained by Strike and Robin and Farah Navabi manages to hoodwink the courts into escaping punishment for her part in Patterson's crimes.The Ring and The Book dramatizes the eternal struggle between good and evil. Pompilia embodies instinctive purity, sacrificial love, and spiritual insight despite her suffering. Guido represents sophisticated, calculating evil that twists morality to justify cruelty. Browning affirms that evil exists but that good can somehow arise from or shine through evil's consequences. In The Hallmarked Man evil is real, monstrous, and often cloaked in normalcy or power structures, but it can be exposed and defeated through persistence, intuition, and moral courage.Nick also discusses in this article the chiastic structure of Ring (!) and the ‘conversation' he heard between Robert Browning in this poem with Aurora Leigh, the masterpiece by his late wife. His ‘Rowling Reading' of Ring and the Book, consequently, will soon be a touchstone piece not only in Rowling Studies but Browning Studies as well (#ArmstrongBrowningLibraryAndMuseum @ Baylor). As they have done before with Nick's ‘Rowling Reading' articles. the Hogwarts Professor team recorded their conversation about the piece (listen to their discussions of I Capture the Castle and Aurora Leigh). Seven High Points of that Ring and the Book epigraph conversation include:* Nick's review of why Serious Strikers and Rowling Readers should read The Ring and the Book along with the story of his immersion in it;* John's explanation of why he was so confident that Browning's poem was a template of some kind for Hallmarked Man even though only six of Strike8's 139 epigraphs were taken from it;* Their survey of Rowling's previous work with epigraphs — Deathly Hallows and Casual Vacancy all the way to Running Grave and Hallmarked Man — for works with similar embedded-in-the-epigraph texts and those without one (or in which it hasn't yet been discovered);* Nick's discussion of Rowling's previous comments about epigraphs and her answer to the question, ‘Which Came First, the Epigraph or the Story?';* John's best guess pre-publication about the text that will be the epigraph source in Sleep Tight, Evangeline and which Strike text it will most resemble with its Whiskey Shambles title;* Nick's commitment to exploring Blue Oyster Cult epigraphs in Career of Evil to see if one of that band's albums, all of which supposedly had sci-fi themes and story continuity, served as a text-within-the-text for Strike3; and* John's suggestion that the relationship of Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning, a great love with a shared vocation, might be a point of reflection for Serious Strikers as a template for understanding the Strike-Ellacott partnership.Nick and John will be recording their group charting of Hallmarked Man's Part Eight this week with Sandy Hope and Ed Shardlow (and Presvytera Lois?), a survey of readers is in the works, and the long-awaited close look at the Strike series in light of the Cupid and Psyche myth draws ever nearer.

The natural place to begin is with your guess about Ring and the Book being a template based on your tally of the Hallmarked Man epigraphs, a theory you shared on our first show post-publication. Can you explain your process and what made you so confident about Ring and the Book?2. (John) Looking at that tally, then, Arnold's Merope and Oxenham's Maid of the Silver Sea are quantitatively more likely equivalents to Aurora Leigh in Ink Black Heart, but the Browning frontispiece, number of his epigraphs, the hidden quality of the Ring and Book poem titles, and the relationship with Barrett Browning made it seem the most likely. That the poem is considered one of the great feminist tracts written by a man didn't hurt. I still want to go back to the Arnold poem, though, because of the centrality of his epigraphs in the center Parts and Oxenham deserves a re-read, too, or just a trip to Louise Freeman Davis site, the home of Oxenham Studies online. What struck me while reading your post, Nick, was in the correspondences you found between Ring and the Book and Hallmarked Man. Can you give us the highlights of that?3. (Nick) The Ironbridge murder mystery, then, is largely lifted from the death of Pompilia. Which is unusual isn't it? Has Rowling-Galbraith ever used her epigraphs to point to the template of her story?4. (John) I think, then, that at least four of the previous Strike novels give us the embedded template, per Beatrice Groves The White Divel and The Revenger's Tragedy (and even Hamlet) gives us important clues about The Silkworm crime, Rosmersholm and its incestuous backdrop inform the murder of Lethal White, the Janus deceiver in Faerie Queene should have been a give-away about the poisoner in Troubled Blood, and, as Rowling confirmed and you demonstrated Nick, Aurora Leigh is the working model for Ink Black Heart. I think the closest Rowling epigraph suggestions to story template was in the Rossetti poem that opens Cuckoo's Calling and the Aeschylus epigraph in Deathly Hallows. What has Rowling said, though, about her epigraph sources? Do they precede the novels or follow the writing?5. (Nick) So it's not one or the other, I think, that is, she has a template in mind and if the source doesn't have sufficient quotable pieces to serve a epigraphs for the whole book, she uses other sources from the genre in play or that highlight her central theme (cf., the Gray's Anatomy heart epigraphs in tandem with the hearty women Victorian poets in Ink Black). What I'm struck by here, though, is the shift in importance of epigraphs to Rowling-Galbraith. The numbers are startling, no, between Cuckoo and Hallmarked?6. (John) Not only do we see a jump from eight or nine epigraphs in Strike1 to 139 in Stike8, but Team Rowling is pushing readers to think more seriously about them by posting reviews of the epigraphs in each book, drawing the dot-to-dot correspondences. I confess the Strike novel whose epigraphs are not like the others, Nick, is Career of Evil and its Blue Oyster Cult lyrics. You've been reading a book about Blue Oyster Cult so I'll defer to you in this despite my great fondness for heavy metal groups with sci-fi themed lyrics...7. (Nick) What about the book we haven't got in hand, John: Sleep Tight, Evangeline? We have been told -- sort of! -- the title is from a 2014 song from an American blues band called ‘The Whiskey Shambles.' Which of the previous epigraph models Rowling has used, from Deathly Hallows to Hallmarked Man, do you think we'll be seeing in Strike9? What are your thoughts on that, especially as the best link we have for Sleep Tight, Evangeline is from a rock and blues band?8. (John) So I hope that we're going to see another Running Grave type epigraph experience in Evangeline, though Grave was unique among Rowling novels and their epigraphs in not having a story-book, poem, or play as its primary source. The I Ching, cannot be a story-template per se because it is a divination tool or means to reflection. Unless you think Pike's Morals and Dogmas Freemasonry encyclopedia qualifies as an equivalent of sorts to the I Ching? That's another outlier, isn't it?9. (Nick) To put a Fourth Generation focus on this, John, we should be looking for a technique that Serious Readers can use for Sleep Tight, Evangeline to hunt for the embedded source if its hidden as were Aurora Leigh and The Ring and the Book. You've found the ones no one else noticed in Ink Black Heart and Hallmarked Man, how did you do that and do you think the same method will work for Cuckoo and Career as well as Evangeline?10. (John) So, yes, I found them but you had the first confirmed by Mrs Murray and then connected the dots between the Browning poems and Rowling's work. If this method is going to work on Cuckoo, Career, and Evangeline it will have to involve a spotter and a shooter, though they can be the same person. The spotter technique is nothing but grunt work; chart the epigraphs used and spot the author most frequently referenced and the work of theirs most frequently cited. The shooter work is actually a lot more involved and interesting; tell us about your experiences with the two Browning's' epic poems, that thrill of discovering correspondences. Do you think that excitement is something Rowling is offering her readers a a treasure hunt or as a point of reflection in terms of meaning? This is a public episode.

Fill-In Notes: https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/39900/note-259566.html Continuing the Conversation 1. What rises to the surface when everything gets quiet? When you remove noise, screens, and conversation, what shows up first anxiety, restlessness, boredom, relief? What might that reveal about whats really shaping your inner life? How could naming that honestly before God change you? 2. What are you most tempted to reach for when you feel uncomfortable? When solitude feels awkward or tense, what do you instinctively grab your phone, productivity, conversation, food, distraction? 3. Where is your identity most anchored right now? In success? Ministry fruit? Approval? Busyness? Being needed? 4. What would it realistically look like to practice solitude this week? Not ideally realistically. When could you schedule 10 intentional minutes? What obstacle will likely resist you? How can this group encourage you to follow through?

Durant les 25 prochaines années, le vieillissement de la population française posera des problèmes logistiques. C'est la Direction de la recherche, des études, de l'évaluation et des statistiques qui alerte : d'ici 2050, il faudrait créer 365 000 places en Ehpad et les milliers d'emplois qui vont avec. Une solution alternative réside dans les habitats intermédiaires, comme les résidences autonomes et les colocations intergénérationnelles. Reportage de notre journaliste Alix Villeroy dans l'une de ces colocations atypiques, Mettre en lien des seniors et des jeunes, c'est l'objectif de l'association Ensemble2générations. Près de Paris, dans les étages d'un immeuble cossu, Sarah, 19 ans, et Françoise, 94 ans, partagent leur quotidien malgré les quelques décennies qui les séparent. « Sarah, qui fait des grandes études, vit avec moi dans ma maison. Ça m'apporte beaucoup et je me suis prise d'affection pour elle », témoigne la nonagénaire. Pour ses études, Sarah a dû déménager à Paris, mais en tant qu'étudiante précaire, il lui était difficile de trouver un logement. C'est ainsi qu'elle a rencontré Françoise, et pour se loger, Sarah ne doit dépenser que 10 euros par mois.  La relation qui se noue entre les deux femmes va au-delà du simple logement et les deux colocataires discutent comme de vraies amies. « Je me suis mise à parler du passé et apparemment, ça intéresse Sarah », se réjouit Françoise. « Elle me parle de la vie de l'ancien temps, ça me fascine !, s'enthousiasme l'étudiante. Tout ce qu'on apprend à l'école, la Seconde Guerre mondiale, eh bien elle, elle l'a vécue ! » Françoise montre ses photos, raconte son mariage le 25 octobre 1954 et la perte de son mari, qu'elle adorait, lorsqu'il avait 73 ans. « Quand j'entends les clés dans la porte, c'est le bonheur qui arrive » Cette solution de cohabitation intergénérationnelle est un rempart contre la précarité des étudiants mais aussi contre la solitude des seniors. « C'est ma fille aînée qui a eu cette idée pour que je ne sois pas seule le soir et la nuit. Ma routine, elle est triste quand Sarah n'est pas là, témoigne Françoise. Mais enfin, quand j'entends les clés dans la porte, c'est le bonheur qui arrive. » Et Sarah renchérit : « Quand je rentre, elle est toute seule devant la télé, donc, je m'assois en face d'elle et puis on discute ensemble. On est censés manger ensemble, que je fasse la vaisselle et ça devrait s'arrêter là. Mais je viens toujours la voir. Les médicaments, je fais en sorte qu'elle les prenne tous les soirs et ce n'est qu'après que je vais me coucher. » Un contrat qui devrait durer un an mais que la jeune fille espère bien renouveler, tant le lien d'attachement est devenu fort au fil des semaines. Une opinion partagée par la nonagénaire pour qui Sarah est devenue un membre de sa famille : « J'ai trouvé une cinquième petite fille. » L'association Ensemble2générations met en relation entre 100 et 150 binômes de personnes âgées et jeunes par an.  À lire aussiIsolement des seniors en France: l'alerte des Petits Frères des pauvres face à la «mort sociale»

2-20-26: Our Lady of Solitude Monastery – Sr. John Mark Maria, PCPA by

Cet épisode commence dans mon jardin, entre rafales et jonquilles, je parle de migraine, de coude fêlé et tisse un lien entre la mise sous cloche des femmes et la vie sous surveillance de mon invitée.Il se poursuit dans le studio de Folie Douce en compagnie de Charlotte Casiraghi. Elle vient de publier un premier livre, La Fêlure, qui m'a touchée car il est le geste d'une femme qui soulève la cloche pour se montrer - ou presque - telle qu'elle est. Elle accomplit ce geste en appelant à la rescousse Maya Angelou, Colette, George Sand, Balzac et Fitzgerald. Elle explique que « l'hospitalité du texte littéraire » lui a permis de se sentir « à l'abri des préjugés et des jugements ».Vous allez découvrir, à mon micro, une femme passionnée de soin en santé mentale. Elle raconte son engagement en milieu hospitalier auprès de jeunes femmes souffrant de troubles du comportement alimentaire et sa découverte de la difficulté à accompagner « l'individualité d'une souffrance ».Elle qui sous le masque médiatique cache des deuils précoces et violents, évoque « cette impression tirée de l'enfance que la mort est très réelle » et la solitude née de cette impression.Elle a depuis tissé des liens entre cette crainte originelle et « l'inquiétude maternelle », terme qu'elle emploie avec Julia Kristeva et d'autres psychanalystes féministes qui ont éclairé sa route et l'ont rendu moins seule, faisant de son histoire intime, en certains aspects si différente des autres, une histoire universelle.J'espère que cette écoute vous donnera envie de lire La Fêlure et de suivre les premiers pas de Charlotte Casiraghi en tant qu'autrice.Merci d'être là, merci d'écouter, merci de soutenir. N'hésitez pas à me faire tous vos retours ici, sur les réseaux sociaux ou sur votre plate-forme d'écoute !Photo : Astrid di CrollalanzaRetrouvez juste ici un formulaire pour m'aider à mieux vous connaître, communauté de Folie Douce !

Après trois ans de désert affectif à l'île Maurice et quelques cheesecakes thérapeutiques, Laurent s'est fait une raison : l'amour n'est peut-être pas pour lui. À moins qu'un festival dans la nuit et un simple échange au détour d'un chemin ne viennent bousculer sa solitude et lui rappeler la tendresse des gestes simples ?

In our message today, we'll be focusing on the Prayer of Solitude. We're going to examine a couple of passages in the Gospel of Matthew—one where Jesus is our example in prayer, and the other where Jesus is teaching us how to pray. One of the most effective ways that I have found to get…

Fill-In Notes: https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/39900/note-258941.html Continuing the Conversation Why might solitude prayer often lead people to more clarity on their direction or decisions? What distractions make it hard for you to pray the way Jesus did? How does Jesus prayer in Gethsemane reshape your understanding of honest submission prayer? Mark 14:3239 (NLT) What is one concrete way you can imitate Jesus practice of solitude this week?

Welcome to Xanadu — a bay with two horizons, where the sun rises on one side of the water and sets on the other, unhurried, keeping its ancient rhythm. Black sand warms beneath your feet, mountains rise softly in the distance, and the shoreline becomes a mirror at low tide, blurring the boundary between sky and earth. Xanadu. This is a place where nothing asks anything of you. Where loneliness is not emptiness, but a kind of wholeness that wild places can hold. Waves lift and release, light fades layer by layer, and evening settles quietly over the bay. Scarlet macaws pass through like sudden colour, parrots gather in the palms, and the day loosens its final warmth into night.  Xanadu is a gentle reminder that solitude can be complete, that the world can offer solace without naming it, and that sometimes a place itself is enough.

In this conversation, Dwayne Roberts discusses the five essential habits of Jesus that are crucial for spiritual growth, particularly for men. He emphasizes the importance of solitude, prayer, engagement with scripture, trust in God's love, and accountability. Each habit is explored in depth, highlighting how they shaped Jesus' identity and mission, and how they can be applied in contemporary life for personal development and spiritual alignment. Takeaways The habits of Jesus were deliberate disciplines. Solitude is essential for spiritual renewal. Prayer anchors our sense of purpose. Engagement with scripture shapes decision-making. Trusting in God's love alleviates anxiety. Accountability is vital for spiritual growth. Men often seek impact without intimacy. Jesus modeled clarity and discipline in his life. Spending time alone with God is transformative. These habits are crucial for following Jesus as disciples.

beslutsomhed.En: Inside, the air was filled with a mix of anxiety and determination.Da: Erik sad ved et langt bord, omgivet af sine notesbøger og bøger.En: Erik sat at a long table, surrounded by his notebooks and books.Da: Et stearinlys brændte næsten usynligt i den store hal, som var oplyst af blege, fluorescerende lamper.En: A candle burned almost invisibly in the large hall, illuminated by

op fra sine noter.En: Erik looked up from his notes.Da: Øjnene gled over mod Mette og Søren, der sad og hviskede sammen om noget i deres lærebog.En: His eyes drifted towards Mette and Søren, who were sitting and whispering about something in their textbook.Da: Frustrationen voksede i ham.En: Frustration grew within him.Da: Han vidste, at Mette var skarp og Søren konsistent.En: He knew that Mette

stjernerne.En: Erik often felt overlooked, like an anonymous figure among stars.Da: "Jeg skal klare det selv," tænkte han, vendte tilbage til sine noter, og skrev videre.En: "I have to manage this on my own," he thought, returning to his notes and continued writing.Da: Men linjerne slørede for hans øjne, og en indre stemme drillede, "Hvad hvis du fejler?"En: But the lines blurred before his eyes, and an inner voice teased, "What if you fail?"Da: Dagen gik, og sneen udenfor blev kun tykkere.En: The day passed, and the snow outside only grew thicker.Da: Kulden gik gennem markhospitalets tynde vægge, men Erik lagde ikke mærke til kulden.En: The cold seeped through the thin walls of the field hospital, but Erik didn't notice the cold.Da: Det var bare ét af de mange distraktioner.En: It was just one of many distractions.Da: Han pressede blyanten mod papiret lidt for hårdt, brækkede spidsen, og sukkede højt.En: He pressed the pencil against the paper a little too hard, breaking the tip, and sighed loudly.Da: Længere nede ved bordet kiggede Mette op.En: Further down the table, Mette looked up.Da: "Erik, er du okay?"En: "Erik, are you okay?"Da: spurgte hun, med et lille, omsorgsfuldt smil.En: she asked, with a small, caring smile.Da: Han tøvede.En: He hesitated.Da: "Jeg...En: "I...Da: Jeg tror, jeg er overvældet," indrømmede Erik, med en rystende stemme.En: I think I'm overwhelmed," admitted Erik, with a trembling voice.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, om jeg kan følge med."En: "I don't know if I can keep up."Da: Mette og Søren udvekslede et hurtigt blik.En: Mette and Søren exchanged a quick glance.Da: "Hvorfor arbejder vi ikke sammen?"En: "Why don't we work together?"Da: foreslog Søren roligt, "Vi kunne hjælpe hinanden."En: suggested Søren calmly, "We could help each other."Da: Erik overvejede det i et øjeblik.En: Erik considered it for a moment.Da: Han havde stadig en nagende frygt for at være en byrde.En: He still had a nagging fear of being a burden.Da: Men så kom tanken om at stå alene til eksamen, helt uden støtte.En: But then the thought of standing alone at the exam, completely without support, came to him.Da: Han tog en dyb indånding.En: He took a deep breath.Da: "Okay, det ville jeg gerne."En: "Okay, I'd like that."Da: Således begyndte en ny slags forberedelse.En: Thus began a new kind of preparation.Da: Hver dag, i den kolde hal, sad de tre sammen, diskuterede og forklarede.En: Every day, in the cold hall, the three sat together, discussing and explaining.Da: Erik opdagede, at han ikke var så langt bagud, som han havde troet.En: Erik discovered that he wasn't as far behind as he had thought.Da: Mette og Søren hjalp ham med at se tingene fra nye vinkler, og Erik begyndte at dele sine egne ideer og forståelser.En: Mette and Søren helped him see things from new angles, and Erik began to share his own ideas and understandings.Da: Månederne gik, og Erik følte sig styrket.En: Months passed, and Erik felt strengthened.Da: Ikke kun fagligt, men også i sit indre.En: Not only academically, but also internally.Da: Han vidste, at han havde taget det rigtige valg.En: He knew he had made the right choice.Da: Sammenholdet havde givet ham et nyt perspektiv på hans egne evner og værdi.En: The camaraderie had given him a new perspective on his own abilities and worth.Da: Da eksamensdagen kom, var Erik nervøs, men også bemærkelsesværdigt rolig.En: When exam day came, Erik was nervous, but also remarkably calm.Da: Han vidste, at han havde gjort sit bedste og havde støtte i sine venner.En: He knew he had done his best and had the support of his friends.Da: Efter eksamen ventede Mette og Søren udenfor.En: After the exam, Mette and Søren waited outside.Da: Deres ansigter lyste op, da de så Erik komme ud.En: Their faces lit up when they saw Erik come out.Da: "Hvordan gik det?"En: "How did it go?"Da: spurgte Mette ivrigt.En: asked Mette eagerly.Da: Erik smilede, en varm, lettet følelse bredte sig i hans bryst.En: Erik smiled, a warm, relieved feeling spreading in his chest.Da: "Det gik godt," sagde han med overbevisning.En: "It went well," he said with conviction.Da: "Tak for jeres hjælp."En: "Thanks for your help."Da: De fejrede med varme drikke, og Erik tænkte over, hvordan hans liv måske havde ændret sig.En: They celebrated with warm drinks, and Erik pondered how his life might have changed.Da: Han vidste, at han stadig ville få øjeblikke af tvivl, men nu vidste han også, hvor værdifuldt et fællesskab kunne være.En: He knew that he would still have moments of doubt, but now he also knew how valuable a community could be.Da: Og så, mens de gik tilbage mod hospitalet, i den stabile rytme af sammenhold, kiggede Erik op mod himlen.En: And so, as they walked back towards the hospital, in the steady rhythm of togetherness, Erik looked up at the sky.Da: Sneen dalede fortsat ned, men den føltes ikke længere kold og uvelkommen.En: The snow was still falling, but it no longer felt cold and unwelcome.Da: Den var bare en del af livet, som han nu kunne håndtere.En: It was just a part of life, which he could now handle.

Solitude is not a punishment; rather, it is an essential practice that allows us to tap into our true selves amidst the chaos of everyday life. I highlight the importance of carving out alone time, regardless of whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert, because life's demands can easily overwhelm us, leaving little room for self-reflection.Reflecting on my recent experiences, I discuss how the pressures of daily interactions and responsibilities can lead to feelings of being swamped and disconnected from the present moment. I share my realization that, with so much external noise, I found myself bouncing between past regrets and future anxieties instead of embracing the here and now. This made me yearn for solitude, which I realized is a personal choice I must prioritize.I delve into the distinction between loneliness and solitude—where loneliness signifies a sense of disconnection, solitude allows for the opportunity to reconnect with oneself. By stepping away from the demands of our surroundings, we can better process our thoughts and gather clarity. I emphasize that retreats, whether they be for meditation or simply quiet time at home, serve as powerful catalysts for introspection.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #AnxietyCoaches, #ACPSolitude, #AlohaSpiritMindset, #AnxietyCoachesCommunity, #TheRichnessOfSelf, #LetTheDustSettle, #RespondingNotReacting, #ClearTheSlate, #SubconsciousBubbling, #AnxietyRelief, #Solitude, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #Mindfulness, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #MentalClarity, #Recharge, #SelfReflection, #WellnessJourney, #IntrovertLife, #PresentMoment, #Journaling, #EmotionalWellbeing, #StressRelief, #Healing, #SpiritualGrowth, #HealthyBoundaries, #AnxietySupport, #MentalHealthAwareness, #PanicAttackRecovery, #CalmYourMind, #ACP, #GinaRyanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this message, Ps. Kaily teaches on how we can truly connect with God through solitude. Solitude begins with intentional withdraw — stepping away from the noise, distractions, and demands of life to be alone with Jesus. As Song of Solomon 2:10 reveals, there is an invitation to rise and come away with Him. Solitude is not performative or public; it is cultivated in secret. We close the door, creating space that belongs to God alone. In that space, we slow down. We become still and remember who He is. We open Scripture. We worship. We pray. And then — we wait. This message emphasizes that solitude is not about chasing an emotional experience. It is about positioning ourselves to be filled by God rather than trying to manufacture a feeling of God. It is about Him shaping us, meeting us, and strengthening us in the quiet place. 

In this episode, I explore what it really takes to break free from the relationship patterns that keep us stuck—with trained educator and relationship expert Stefanos Sifandos. With a background in behavioral science, trauma, and somatics, Stefanos brings a grounded, embodied perspective to the way we love, attach, and relate to ourselves and others.We unpack how early experiences and unprocessed trauma quietly shape our nervous systems, our choices, and the dynamics we recreate in intimate relationships. Stefanos explains why awareness alone isn't enough, and how lasting change requires working with the body—not just the mind—to rewire safety, trust, and emotional regulation. If you've ever found yourself repeating the same cycles despite years of “knowing better,” this conversation sheds light on why that happens and what actually helps shift it.We also talk about self-leadership, emotional responsibility, and what it means to cultivate a healthier sense of self without bypassing the discomfort that growth often demands. Stefanos shares practical insights on boundaries, communication, and how to meet conflict as an opportunity for deeper connection rather than something to avoid or dominate.This episode is an invitation to relate more consciously to your partner, your past, and yourself. If you're committed to personal growth, healing relational wounds, and stepping into your highest potential with honesty and integrity, this conversation offers both clarity and depth.Order Stefanos' book, Tuned In and Turned On: A Path to True Connection, Deep Healing, and Lasting Love, at tunedinandturnedonbook.com.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Episode 3903: Greg Audino offers a bold and compassionate perspective on loneliness, challenging the belief that it's a permanent state rather than a temporary feeling. By unpacking the illusions and self-perceptions that keep people isolated, he empowers listeners to reclaim connection through vulnerability, self-awareness, and a renewed outlook on human interaction. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/sorry-not-lonely-8390a06a4853 Quotes to ponder: "Loneliness, like all of our feelings, is fleeting." "The relationships or social interactions that someone has doesn't necessarily have any correlation with how lonely they might be feeling." "The root of loneliness does depend on how we're perceiving our interactions with those we come in contact with." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Solitude isn't loneliness. It's the space where you hear yourself again.In a world that never stops demanding your attention, choosing solitude can feel uncomfortable, even wrong. But it's often in those quiet moments, away from noise and expectations, that clarity returns.Eddie speaks about what happens when you stop filling every silence and start sitting with yourself. When you step back instead of reacting. When you choose stillness, not to escape life, but to reconnect with it.Solitude doesn't take anything from you. It gives you back perspective, direction, and self-trust.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly “on,” this message is an invitation to slow down and listen.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact
