Podcasts about life beyond

At this time of year, it can start to feel like time is speeding up. The holidays are here already? It's almost the end of 2025? Didn't the year just begin?! In a culture that begins celebrating Christmas before trick-or-treaters have even begun knocking on doors, this sense of rush and speed is amplified at every turn. In today's episode, we are exploring the question: how do we slow down time? How do we shift our relationship to time, enter into deeper presence and flow, and savor all that we have--the present moment?

In this powerful and deeply personal two part episode, we sit down with Heather—a woman whose childhood was shaped by the shadows of crime and loss. Her father was incarcerated for murder, and her beloved mother battled alcoholism until it claimed her life. Left to navigate a world of instability and stigma, Heather faced choices that could have easily led her down a darker path. But this is not a story of defeat. It's a story of resilience. Heather opens up about what it's like to grow up on the "other side" of a crime—not as the perpetrator or the victim, but as the child left behind. She shares how grief, shame, and survival shaped her early years, and how she ultimately forged a new identity rooted in strength, compassion, and purpose. Today, Heather is a thriving, successful member of society, and her journey offers a rare glimpse into the long-term ripple effects of incarceration—and the power of healing. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered what it takes to rewrite your story when the odds are stacked against you.   Based on our own interview completed with Heather on 11/5/2025 Join Patreon here to binge bonus content! Crime Curious is creating a kick-ass exclusive listener experience | Patreon Want to just donate to the show?

In this follow-up episode of Digging In, host John Savarino welcomes back Jason Thiele, Lead Planning Specialist at Rooted Wealth Advisors, to dive deeper into the conversation we started in “From Wish List to Real Life: Retirement Edition." This time, Jason digs deeper into how money is more than numbers on a page—it's about the meaning it carries throughout different stages of life. Together, they talk about how the role of money shifts as we age, why true financial success means feeling safe and secure, and how clarity transforms a wish list into real life.Jason also shares examples of how money can give people the freedom to say yes to opportunities, pursue passions, and live with purpose. Because retirement isn't just about reaching a number—it's about creating a life that actually feels like freedom.

At a time when the superstructures of modern civilization seem terminally messed up, the authors of 'Relationality: An Emergent Politics of Life Beyond the Human' argue that we must start a new conversation about the nature of being and modern myths of the self. Anthropologist Arturo Escobar, cultural studies scholar Michal Osterweil, and biologist Kriti Sharma draw on a diversity of sources – evolutionary science, cultural studies, art and poetry, Indigenous practices, wisdom traditions, and more – to explain the deep interdependence of all living beings: a perspective can help us develop a new political economy and culture.

Fr. Mike focuses on the powerful theme that connects all of our readings today- the reality of life beyond death. In the story of the martyrdom of the seven brothers in 2 Macabees, we see how the brothers and their mother fiercely reject the temptation to violate God's law, and boldly hold onto their hope in the resurrection of the dead. Our readings from Wisdom also remind us that death is not the end, because we know that eternal life is waiting for us beyond death. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 7, Wisdom 3-4, and Proverbs 24:27-29. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

What if your mental struggle isn't a personal failure, but a logical reaction to a broken society?This week on A Mental Health Break, we are joined by poet, playwright, Yale graduate, and cultural critic D.C. Copeland, author of the forthcoming book, Societal Dropout: A Culture Manifesto for the New Millennium. D.C. brings a unique, potent voice to the show, leveraging the philosophy of Jung, Freud, and Nietzsche to dissect our modern anxieties.In this profound and provocative discussion, we dive deep into:The Societal Roots of Illness: We tackle the core question: How do we fundamentally remove the negative stigmatization about mental illness by shifting the focus from individual flaw to systemic failure?The Millennial Divide: D.C. offers a compelling analysis of the generation caught between extremes—why are Millennials either doing incredibly well or struggling with housing insecurity, and what does this financial anxiety do to their mental health?Gender and Constraint: We dissect a powerful quote from D.C.'s book: "My experience of the feminine is one of deep pain and glorious power." We explore how rigid gender constraints limit not only art, but the soul, and why finding power requires creating outside those boundaries.Life Beyond the Line: D.C. defines what "dropping out of society" truly means—is it a physical exit, or a necessary philosophical break to protect your well-being?If you've ever felt that you don't fit into the demands of modern life, this episode is your permission slip to rethink the system and prioritize your own mental freedom.Find D.C.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, confronts one of the hardest truths in the first responder culture: admitting when you're burned out (Amazon Affiliate) feels impossible. For police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and military professionals, the job demands strength, endurance, and resilience. But behind the uniform, countless responders are silently suffering under the weight of burnout. The stigma around asking for help and the fear of being seen as weak often keep these struggles hidden until they become overwhelming. We'll explore why it's so difficult to say “I can't do this,” how burnout shows up in everyday life, and what can be done to recognize it and recover before it takes too heavy a toll. 5 Examples of Burnout in First Responders Emotional Numbness on and off Duty Calls that once stirred compassion now feel routine, leaving you detached from others and yourself. Irritability and Short Temper at Home The smallest frustrations turn into arguments, often spilling onto your spouse or kids. Chronic Fatigue Despite “Enough” Sleep No amount of rest seems to recharge your body or mind. Loss of Motivation or Purpose What once felt like a calling now feels like just another grind you're trying to survive. Isolation From Family and Peers Pulling away from relationships to avoid having to explain or reveal how much you're struggling. 5 Ways to Combat Burnout Normalize the Conversation Start talking about burnout openly—especially with peers—so it's no longer taboo to admit. Build Decompression Routines Create post-shift rituals that help your mind and body leave the job at the door. Use Professional and Peer Resources Counselors, chaplains, and peer support teams exist to provide culturally competent care. Reconnect With Your “Why” Revisit the reason you started serving in the first place—it can reignite purpose when the job feels endless. Invest in Life Beyond the Badge Hobbies, fitness, friendships, faith, and family are anchors that remind you of who you are outside of work.

In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I'm joined by Debbie Dawson, mentor, retreat supporter and treasured community member, to talk about life beyond loss and what it truly means to live fully again after grief. Debbie shares her widow journey from joining the community in 2020, two and a half years after losing her husband suddenly in 2018, to where she is now, seven years on and living with a sense of freedom, purpose and excitement about the future she never thought possible. We explore how the shift from grief work to life work happened through Vibrant Living and the transformative Rise and Renew retreat, and why discovering hidden parts of yourself after loss can be both surprising and liberating. We discuss: The transition from surviving to thriving and living fully after widowhood How Vibrant Living and Rise and Renew created profound shifts in healing Discovering that it's a new connection with yourself, not just reconnection Moving from "second best life" to "my best life" as a widow Living with conscious intent and presence after losing your partner Why grief and life journeys become intertwined rather than separate The power of widow community, energy and being under one roof Finding permission to live without fear of the future Building trust in your inner compass after loss Creating a legacy you're proud of It's an uplifting conversation about transformation, self-discovery, rebuilding after loss, and the beautiful truth that anything is possible when you're ready to do the work.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, shines a light on the invisible battles first responders fight every single day. Behind the badge (Amazon Affiliate), the turnout gear, or the radio call sign, there are struggles that few outside the profession will ever understand. We uncover the unseen weight responders carry, share real-world examples of these hidden battles, and outline practical ways to begin combatting them—both for yourself and for those you care about. 5 Examples of Hidden Battles Emotional Exhaustion Behind the Uniform On the surface, responders look calm and in control, but inside they're depleted from constant exposure to trauma. Hyper-Vigilance That Never Turns Off Even at home, the nervous system remains in “on duty” mode—always scanning for threats, never able to relax. Strained Family Dynamics Missed holidays, canceled plans, and emotional distance leave spouses and kids carrying the quiet cost of service. Silent Struggles with Substance Use Alcohol or overuse of stimulants can become a coping mechanism that's never discussed but deeply damaging. Identity Tied Only to the Job When all worth is measured by performance in uniform, retirement or injury can feel like the end of self. 5 Ways to Combat These Battles Build Transition Rituals Between Work and Home Simple practices like changing clothes, prayer, or a short walk can signal your body to shift gears. Prioritize Open Communication With Family Explain what you're going through in a way your loved ones can understand—silence breeds distance. Replace Destructive Coping Mechanisms With Healthy Outlets Channel stress into fitness, hobbies, or peer groups instead of relying on substances. Seek Peer and Professional Support Talking with others who understand the culture—or therapists who specialize in trauma—prevents isolation. Develop a Life Beyond the Badge Hobbies, friendships, faith, and personal growth remind you that your identity is bigger than your role.

Finding clarity around what you want is essential, because it guides every decision in your work and in your life. When you design your business or career to fit you, it opens the door to sustainable success and gives you the freedom to create your life around what matters most.In this episode, you'll hear from Holly Haynes, host of the Crush the Rush podcast. Holly shares her story of leaving her corporate job, starting her own business, and committing to creating the quality of life she wanted. Her journey is a real-life example of what life mastery is all about–not having everything perfectly aligned or knowing every step, but embracing the realness, authenticity, and messiness of leaning in to create your life according to your values.Even if you aren't a business owner, you most likely understand the pressure to “do all of the things” in order to succeed. Too many of us end up spread thin and exhausted when we follow that path. Holly Haynes' Anti-Social School and her approach to helping clients grow in a way that feels authentic to them—and the life they want to create—is the key to sustainable success.Allowing yourself to be curious about what lights you up–what you love to do and what would work for you–is the real secret to business growth without burnout. However, the paramount principle is that in order to get curious, you must allow yourself the space and rest you need to access your greatest creativity. Our instinct is often to push harder and do more when we want to make a change in our business or life, but that doesn't lead to the sustainable success and balance we want to create in our lives. Today, we'll talk about how you can challenge yourself to reclaim the time, energy, and space that you want.You can have the quality of life you desire, so give yourself permission and trust yourself to create it. The gifts and abilities you have matter, and when you allow them the space to grow, they will shine. Let's get started!What you'll learn:Why the greatest reward in business often isn't financial, but the freedom to be with the people you love and live on your termsHow to grow your business without using marketing tactics that don't align with your valuesWhy you're not alone when you face challenges on the path to sustainable successHow taking time off can benefit your business and help you create your life the way you wantHow to make your business better for clients without sacrificing your life or wellbeingYou can read the full show notes here.About Holly HaynesHolly Haynes empowers female entrepreneurs to build thriving, scalable businesses without getting lost in the ever-changing social media algorithms.

Life Beyond This One! MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, we delve into the profound mystery of the Holy Spirit and its vital role in our Christian walk. We're reminded that it's not just about having the Holy Spirit, but allowing the Spirit to have us - to lead and guide our lives. The message emphasizes three key sins against the Holy Spirit: grieving, quenching, and blaspheming. When we choose bitterness over love, or hold onto unforgiveness, we grieve the Spirit. Every time we sin, we quench the Spirit's flow in our lives. Yet, there's hope in confession, which reopens the floodgates of the Spirit's presence. This teaching challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we truly yielding to the Spirit's guidance? Are we living holy lives that honor God? It's a call to deeper surrender and a reminder of our constant need for the Spirit's empowering presence in our faith journey.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Lust. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Perfect Provision. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 1 Thessalonians 5:19; John 14:19; John 8:51; John 11:25; Exodus 3:14; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 Peter 3:20. WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

Chance encounters can create the most powerful connections. When the Quadfather met Sabeeh at the Abilities Expo in Schaumburg, their shared experience as ventilator users instantly created a bond that transcends the typical podcast conversation."We've got stories to tell," says the Quadfather early in their exchange—and indeed they do. Sabeeh, at 35, reveals her lifelong journey with a rare genetic condition called PAX7 gene, a form of congenital myopathy that has required ventilator support since she was just three years old. Meanwhile, the Quadfather shares his own path to ventilator use following a military car accident nearly a decade ago. Despite these different origins, they discover immediate common ground in using the same LTV ventilator model, both expressing the same fear about switching to newer technology.What makes this conversation remarkable isn't just their medical similarities but the glimpse into everyday life as ventilator users. From the practical challenges of attending a Taylor Swift concert (complete with portable generators for medical equipment) to finding joy through online shopping during difficult days, Sabeeh and the Quadfather demonstrate that disability is just one facet of their full, complex lives. Their casual mention of Sabeeh's memorable meeting with Taylor Swift reminds listeners that behind every medical device is a person with passions, interests, and remarkable experiences.The genuine warmth and instant connection between these two strangers-turned-friends serves as a powerful reminder of why representation matters. When Sabeeh says "your strength really gravitates towards me," it highlights how seeing ourselves reflected in others can validate our experiences and inspire resilience.Like, comment, and subscribe to help amplify disabled voices that deserve to be heard, and as both hosts remind us at the end—take a breath for those who can't do so independently.

When Ovid was exiled from Rome to a border town on the Black Sea, he despaired at his bleak and barbarous new surroundings. Like many Greeks and Romans, Ovid thought the outer reaches of his world was where civilization ceased to exist. Our own fascination with the Greek and Roman world has for centuries followed this perspective, shrouding cultures at the far reaches of their influence in myth. But what was it like to live on the edges of these empires, on the boundaries of the known world? In The Far Edges of the Known World (W.W. Norton & Company, 2025) ancient historian Owen Rees draws on archaeological excavations to reveal these so-called borders as thriving multicultural spaces. This is where the boundaries of “civilized” and “barbarian” began to dissipate; where traditional rules didn't always apply; where different cultures intermarried; and where nomadic tribes built their own cities. Transporting readers through historical spheres of influence, Rees journeys from the sandy caravan routes of Morocco to the freezing winters of the northern Black Sea, from the Red River valley of Vietnam to the rain-lashed forts south of Hadrian's Wall. Beyond well-remembered figures like Cleopatra and Caesar, Rees introduces us to the everyday people who called the borderlands home. We meet an enterprising sex worker in Egypt's Naucratis, gambling soldiers at Hadrian's Wall in England, a Greco-Buddhist monk hailing from the Ganges, and more. As Rees shows, exchanges of trends, ideas, even religious practices were happening all over the world. Learn more about your ad choices.

Click here now to access the tool > ‍ How to Break Free from the Good Girl Cage Have you ever ticked all the boxes of success — career, family, achievements — yet felt a quiet voice inside whispering “this isn't really me”? ‍ That's the cage many ambitious women find themselves in: invisible, self-imposed, and often built from years of people-pleasing and perfectionism. ‍ In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, I'm excited to be joined by Katia Vlachos, reinvention coach and author of the book, Uncaged. ‍ Katia shares how she broke free from her own “good girl” conditioning and how you can begin dismantling your own bars … one choice at a time. ‍ This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt stuck, small, or secretly craving a life that feels more like your own. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell ‍ ‍ “Breaking free doesn't make life harder — it makes everything feel more natural, aligned, and effortless.” – Katia Vlachos ‍ The Cage We Don't See For Katia, the “good girl” cage began in childhood: saying ‘Yes' when really she wanted to say ‘No!', striving for approval, and sacrificing her own needs to meet others' expectations. ‍ And yet, as she explains, cages aren't external — they live in our minds. The longer we stay inside them, the more natural they feel. ‍ ‍ Why We Stay Stuck Katia identifies three main fears that keep women caged: ‍ Fear of the unknown: “Do I really have what it takes?” Fear of failure: “What if I lose everything I've built?” “What will people think?” ‍ Fear of disappointing others: “What will people think?” ‍ But she reminds us that reinvention doesn't mean burning everything down. It's often about building a bridge from where you are now to where you long to be. ‍ ‍ “You don't have to be a ‘good girl' or a ‘bad girl' — you get to be your girl, living by your own rules and values.” – Katia Vlachos ‍ ‍ The First Step Toward Freedom Awareness is always the beginning. Katia calls it “noticing the bars of your invisible cage.” And the signs are there once you stop and tune into how you feel. For example, your clues might be the discomfort of agreeing to something that doesn't feel right, or the guilt that surfaces when you prioritise yourself. From there, the key question becomes: What do I want instead? Even if it feels hard to answer, that's where freedom begins. ‍ ‍ The Power of Support Breaking free isn't something you have to do alone. Katia encourages finding even one person who truly sees you and supports your reinvention. As she shares, being witnessed — whether in a coaching relationship, a women's circle, or a trusted friendship — is a powerful catalyst for transformation. ‍ Life Beyond the Cage Freedom doesn't look like rebellion. It looks like an alignment. Katia describes life beyond the cage as more natural and flowing. Decisions feel lighter. Visibility becomes less daunting. And self-compassion acts as the net that makes risk-taking possible, because even if you stumble, you know you'll have your own back. ‍ A Final Thought to Reflect On You don't need a dramatic turning point to step into your next chapter. Often, it starts with the smallest moments of awareness, followed by one brave choice. So ask yourself: Where might you already be holding the keys to your own cage? ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you? ‍Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.

Reconnecting with creativity, redefining success as a creator, and creating without burnout or comparison with Sabrina Loyer. ----- Welcome to episode 533 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Sabrina Loyer. Building a Creative Life Beyond the Metrics In this episode, we're chatting with Sabrina Loyer about what it really means to be successful as a content creator. Sabrina built a thriving business around helping others go viral, but she also experienced the anxiety, burnout, and pressure that can come with chasing metrics. She shares her journey of moving beyond the comparison trap, creating without boundaries, and learning to view social media as a tool rather than the end goal. Sabrina and Bjork also discuss the two powerful tools that have transformed her creative process (and life!) and Sabrina's practical advice for simplifying content creation and using tools like ChatGPT effectively — all while staying grounded and joyful in your work. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just starting out, this episode will help you reconnect with your creativity, quiet your inner critic, and redefine success on your own terms. Three episode takeaways: How to redefine success — As a creator, it can be really easy to define success by the number of pageviews, followers, or likes you get. But churning out more and more content in service of those goals can be stressful and lead to burnout. It can also zap your creativity! In this episode, Sabrina explains how to refocus your workflow to emphasize joy and authenticity, not just numbers. Two exercises that will transform your creativity — Sabrina explains two exercises she has incorporated into her life — morning pages and artist dates — that help reconnect with your inner child and creative self.
