Podcasts about life transitions

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Bobby Bosler recounts the recent cross-country move that marked a major transition into the pastorate—and the spiritual insights it sparked. With everything his family owned packed into a single trailer, he reflects on Jesus' words in Matthew 6 about treasure, focus, and true devotion. This convicting challenge invites listeners to evaluate what they're living for and whether their heart is fully invested in heaven.Topics DiscussedTransition to pastoral ministry in Fairmont, WVThe tangible feeling of having all possessions in one trailerMatthew 6:19–24 and the call to lay up treasure in heavenWhat a “single eye” means—and why it mattersIdentifying the pull of materialism and earthly desiresA warning against divided loyalties and serving two mastersThe call to total surrender and singular devotion to ChristKey TakeawaysWhere your treasure is, your heart will inevitably follow—so store it where it's safe.What you focus on shapes every area of your life.A divided focus will always lead to spiritual darkness and dissatisfaction.We can't serve both God and material desires; we must choose our master.A single-minded life requires surrender—and the sustaining grace of God.

What if you had a front-row seat to the world's stage in the Oval Office?  Sounds like a cool gig.  But what if it required giving up much of your personal life? I welcome back former AP White House correspondent Ben Feller for a candid conversation about the evolving landscape of the media, the importance of journalistic integrity, and the personal journey of navigating high-stakes careers. Ben shares stories from his front-row seat covering Republican and Democratic presidents and discusses why real-time press access to pivotal moments—like the Oval Office meetings with world leaders—matters for democracy and public accountability.  We break down the history and unique mission of the Associated Press, unpack how information is shared and sourced across news organizations, and reflect on the increasingly complex challenge of finding and trusting unbiased news today. Just as important, we dive deeper into broader themes of personal growth, identity, and the emotional transition from a demanding career into new chapters of life—touching on the difficulty of balancing ambition, self-reflection, and gratitude. With plenty of wisdom for professionals, families, and anyone curious about the media's role in society, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to sort facts from noise and find emotional balance in a fast-paced world.

Send me a text!“Where do we go from here” is a common question when we encounter a crossroads in life. Whether a transition is big or small, each point is an invitation learn more about yourself and choose what is aligned for the person you are becoming. This episode engages two types of transition reflection. First the riptide transition point, when you realize you've unconsciously slid back into ways of being you thought you'd moved away from. Second the seismic transition point, when something outside your control cracks your stability. Though vastly different levels of outward impact, they both impact who you understand yourself to be in relation to your life. Radical self-compassion and connecting with trusted others for support allow the room to intentionally answer where do we go from here.In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I explore ways we answer the question “Where do we go from here” through reflections on this podcast and speaking to federal workers facing layoffs.Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Why I started this podcastMy relationship to podcasting & perfectionismMy background in SociologyA letter to Federal Workers LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:Ask Valerie (anonymous form)Assigned Reading by Becky Mollenkamp CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Sign up for Valerie's newsletterApply to be coached on the podcastSchedule an exploration call This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters CollectiveSupport the show

In this episode, we conclude our conversation on life transitions with Michelle's husband, Chris Benzinger. We focus on the second and third steps in walking through transitions: releasing with trust and redeeming with hope. We talk about God wanting to redeem our past, the need to let go of the ways we've failed, and how God wants to do something new in the future. We also reflect on the importance of ceremony to conclude a season, the four responses to a loss, and why we should share our hopes for the future with God.   Heather's One Thing - Return to the Heart: The Biblical Spirituality of St. Augustine's Confessions by Dr. Shane Owens Sister Miriam's One Thing -  Mediterranean Chicken Bowls Michelle's One Thing - Belovedness: Overcoming Your Inner Critic - A Lyrical Devotional by Sarah Kroger Chris' One Thing - Running a 5k with his daughter Lilly    Journal Questions: What was good about the previous season of my life? Am I grieving or still carrying hurts?  What is God specifically asking me to release from this past season?  In this next season of my life, what is one thing God is making new? What is one hope I have for this next season of my life?   Creative Prompt: Take a bookmark and decorate it with your hopes for the next season and place it in your Bible. It will serve as a reminder in the next chapter of your life.   Discussion Questions: Reflect back upon the past few years and choose one big or small transition in your life.  What is one thing you are grateful for in the past season of your life? What is God calling you to release with trust from that past season? As you look to this current season, what action can you take to ceremonialize the end of an old season and create the foundation for a new season? Are you able to name what you desire? Why or why not? How are you responding to loss in your current season of life? What is something new God is doing in the current season of your life?   Quote to Ponder: “Remember not the events of the past, the things of long ago consider not. See I am doing something new. Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:18)   Scripture for Lectio: “But now thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and formed you O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; and you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)   Sponsor - Karol Coffee Co.: This week's sponsor is more than just a coffee company. Karol Coffee Co. was inspired by the life and work of one of the most beloved saints of the modern era: Karol Wojtyła, better known to the world as Pope St. John Paul II. His life was a testimony to courage, joy, and cultivating beauty that draws souls into union with Jesus and one other. From his days as a young priest in Nazi-occupied Poland to his years leading the global Church, St. John Paul II consistently called people to embrace truth, goodness, and beauty in every aspect of their lives. Karol Coffee Co. seeks to carry on that mission in a small but meaningful way — by bringing community, love, and joy into the heart of our everyday routines through coffee. Founded by Nate and Megan Whipple, a faithful Catholic couple rooted in mission, Karol Coffee Co. began humbly in 2022 as a simple garage-based roasting operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What started as a passion project quickly became something greater, thanks to the encouragement and support of fellow Catholics and coffee enthusiasts. In just a short time, their venture has grown into a thriving small business that now serves customers all over the country. In an age when many of our purchases inadvertently support massive corporations with values often at odds with our own, supporting small, Catholic-owned businesses has never been more important. Karol Coffee Co. offers an alternative: ethically-sourced, traceable coffees roasted with care and intention. Each batch is crafted not only for flavor but with the desire to honor the dignity of those who cultivate the beans and to support communities around the world. Their rotating coffee offerings include a range of carefully selected beans from notable coffee-growing regions with flavor profiles to suit a variety of preferences. Karol Coffee Co. makes it easier to keep your kitchen stocked with beans through bi-weekly or monthly subscription options. Fresh, delicious coffee delivered right to your door — no last-minute grocery runs or chain coffee stops required. But beyond the coffee itself, what makes Karol Coffee Co. truly remarkable is the heart behind it. Nate and Megan have built their business around community and mission. It's about more than just selling beans; it's about creating opportunities for people to encounter beauty, truth, and goodness in the midst of their everyday lives, and to share that with the people around them. They have a passion for creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds and walks of life to experience connection and unity through the shared love of coffee and beauty. We'd love for you to get to know them and become part of their growing community. You can visit their website at www.karolcoffeeco.com to explore their current offerings, sign up for a subscription, or learn more about the mission behind the brand. You can also follow along with them on Instagram @karolcoffeeco.  And if you're ever passing through St. Paul, Minnesota, be sure to visit their brand-new brick-and-mortar coffee shop. Their beautiful shop is a space where faith, community, and great coffee come together in a setting that feels like home. The walls are covered in paintings by local artists, as well as those of Megan herself (@meganwhippleart). You can even find a portrait of Pope Saint John Paul II painted by Megan (prints available on the Karol Coffee Co. website - https://karolcoffeeco.com/products/megan-whipple-art-karol-8x10-print). The shop offers a simple but complete food menu of organic and locally sourced food and a great variety of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks.  So whether you're looking to start your mornings with a little more purpose, support a Catholic business, or simply discover some truly great coffee, we wholeheartedly encourage you to check out Karol Coffee Co.

Episode #126. In this episode, I'm joined by Emma Grey—bestselling author of The Last Love Note and Pictures of You. Emma shares her remarkable journey from dreaming of writing as a teenager in Australia to finally becoming a full-time novelist in her 50s. She opens up about how writing became a healing path through personal grief after losing her husband, and how her books, now international bestsellers, are helping others navigate their own stories of love and loss. We talk about embracing rejection as part of the process, finding courage to keep showing up for your creative dreams, and why it's never too late to start—or start again. This is such a powerful conversation about persistence, healing, and letting creativity unfold on its own timeline. If you've been doubting your dreams, I hope Emma's story reminds you—it's never too late. Connect with Emma Grey: Website Instagram

In this episode, Chris Benzinger joins us to discuss navigating big and small life transitions. We have all probably found ourselves on the other end of a transition feeling unfulfilled or confused. Chris takes us through a reflection of Joshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan and relates it to change in our lives. We talk about why it can be difficult to move on from blessings of the past and how remembering with gratitude is the first step in walking through transitions. We also discuss the practice of taking memorial stones with us to remember the Lord's blessings, giving thanks in all circumstances, and growing a lens of gratitude. Join us for part two next week!   Heather's One Thing - Festival of Praise at Franciscan University Sister Miriam's One Thing - Sacramental transitions Michelle's One Thing - Chris! Chris' One Thing - Michelle :)   Journal Questions: What transitions am I currently going through? How have I experienced transition in the past? What do I need to remember with gratitude? What truth is the Lord speaking to me in my current circumstances?   Discussion Questions: What are you most grateful for in your recent transitions in life? What did the Father show you about His character in the previous season? What are the greatest fears you experience when facing transition? How will you allow space in your heart as you experience changes in your season of life? How can you embrace both the grief of what has ended and the joy of the new adventure in your transition?   Quote to Ponder: “And the Lord said to Joshua, “Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony to come up out of the Jordan.” Joshua therefore commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.” And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.” (Josua 4:15-18)   Scripture for Lectio: “Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)   Sponsor - Our Holy Home: We're so grateful to partner this season with Our Holy Home — a Catholic brand that's on a mission to fill homes with beauty, subtle reminders of faith, and a deep sense of peace in the everyday.

Welcome back to another episode of The Becoming Podcast, all! I'm delighted to bring you my conversation with writer Cindy DiTiberio today.  I've been following Cindy's work on her Substack, The Mother Lode, for quite a while now, and I know you're going to love our conversation.  So many of my clients and the women I connect with are experiencing – or thinking about – the end of their intimate partnerships, and I think Cindy's wisdom will really resonate with you.  This episode is especially for you if it's your transition into motherhood that has instigated a reckoning in your relationship.   Here's some of what we talked about in our conversation: > How MDMA therapy helped Cindy know that she needed to leave her marriage. > What so often happens to relationships when a couple has a baby.  We talk about everything from sex to paternity leave to caregiving and the mental load. > The feeling of being trapped by oppressive systems of capitalism and patriarchy and how heterosexual couples often end up in traditional, gendered roles without ever intending to.  We talk about the role of internalized patriarchy, the devaluing of women's time, and how both Cindy and I (and so many other mothers we know) ended up squeezing our full time work into part time hours so we could also be primary caregivers. > How personal growth journeys – whether that's into deeper spiritual paths or into a feminist awakening – can cause couples to drift apart. > How the pandemic awakened our culture to the many ways modern hetero partnership has failed women and mothers.   I think you're going to love my conversation with Cindy.  I think it's so relatable for so many of us who are mothering and perhaps grappling with how to navigate our relationships, whether they're ending or evolving.

What invisible forces keep us living lives that are too small for our potential? In this compelling episode of Life in Transition, "Recognizing Your Worth When Others Don't: Leroy Roberts' Life in Transition," Leroy shares his remarkable journey from a poor Jamaican village to international impact. "There is a spirit of containment that keeps a lot of people trapped," he explains, recounting how at just 13 years old, he made the decision to pursue education despite ridicule and resistance. How do we break free from limiting beliefs passed down through generations? What happens when we carefully choose who influences us? Through stories of determination, setback, and reinvention, Leroy offers profound insights about recognizing our inherent worth. "Wherever you are now, you were led there by your consent," he challenges listeners. "Who are you allowing to lead you, and why?" This episode will inspire anyone facing transition to take ownership of their circumstances and embrace their true value.Leroy Roberts grew up in a small village called Grey Ground in rural Jamaica, where he became the first person in his family to attend high school—a decision that required immense courage and defiance of cultural expectations. His journey took him from law enforcement in Jamaica to military service with the British Army's Royal Engineers, where he traveled the world before a work-related injury ended his military career. Now based in the UK, Leroy helps others break free from what he calls "the spirit of containment" to recognize their inherent worth and lead more purposeful lives. About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.

What if we became stubborn about creating joy? What if we insisted on our right to follow our hearts, no matter what life throws at us? In this illuminating exploration of Taurus season, we dive deep into the archetype of the Bull and discover how its fixed earth energy can transform our approach to life's challenges.Taurus invites us to plant our heels exactly where we are and nourish the seeds of what truly matters. Unlike the fiery impulse of Aries that precedes it, Taurus takes the long view—asking what will sustain us not just today, but for seasons to come. We explore how this earthy energy connects us with nature's wisdom, teaching us to feel supported by the ground beneath our feet and to marvel at the wonder that surrounds us daily.Key talking points include: • Taurus energy connects us to earth wisdom, encouraging a romance with nature and reminding us of our physical connection to the world• Unlike fiery Aries that says "strike while the iron is hot," Taurus asks us to take the long view and consider what will sustain us• As a fixed sign, Taurus teaches persistence, loyalty and commitment—qualities that help us stay true to our authentic path• Focus on what you want to grow rather than what's lacking or what you're eliminating from your life• Consider what values are worth being "stubborn" about—like insisting on joy, creativity, or staying true to your purpose• Reconnect with nature to tap into Taurus energy—whether through direct contact or finding creative ways to bring natural elements into your environment• Ask yourself: What systems am I creating that will support me? What am I loyal to? What seeds am I planting that align with my deepest values?Whether you're familiar with astrological archetypes or simply seeking ways to feel more grounded in turbulent times, this episode offers wisdom about rooting into what nourishes your authentic self. Connect with your heart wisdom and discover how embracing Taurus energy might help you build a life that sustains you for the journey ahead.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

What would happen if your loved ones had to sort through everything you own tomorrow? Are you prepared for life's ultimate transition?In this episode of Life in Transition, Art Blanchford speaks with Sonya Weisshappel, the "Chaos Whisperer" behind Seriatim Inc. At just 14, Sonya witnessed something extraordinary—her father's spirit leaving his body. "I saw a vapor cloud come from his center and hover and leave," she recalls. This profound moment taught her our bodies are merely shells. Nothing goes with us in the end. How did this realization transform her life? Sonya channeled this spiritual understanding into helping others declutter both physical spaces and digital chaos, creating harmony in their lives.Ever felt weighed down by your possessions? You're not alone. The conversation dives deep into how clutter creates resistance in our daily lives. Art shares his own garage organization journey. Sonya challenges listeners to take inventory of their spaces. Is your environment supporting your goals? "When the mental and physical are balanced and not out of alignment, the person is at ease," Sonya explains. The episode concludes with practical wisdom for estate planning. Don't leave loved ones with "a flaming pile" to sort through. Start now. Have more fun. Live intentionally. What changes will you make today?Sonya Weisshapel grew up in New York City where she started her organizing company, Seriatim, in 1999. Proudly dyslexic, Sonya founded her business in order to avoid writing a resume and now, a quarter of a century later, she and her  Seriatim team have earned themselves a reputation as consummate Chaos Whisperers. In 2017, Sonya became the first organizer to be accepted into the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses™ Program. She is currently President of the New York Council of Relocation Professionals (NYCORP). She shares her wisdom with the world through her debut memoir, Confessions of a Chaos Whisperer.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

In this episode, I reconnected with my former co-host, the wonderful Zoe Kors. Though we've never met in person, she feels like a kindred spirit, and I absolutely love her to bits!.It had been months since our last chat, but like old friends, the conversation flowed effortlessly. I was eager to catch up and hear what she's been up to since we last recorded together, back when another former co-host Peter Marriott joined us.As always, we had plenty to talk about - sex, relationships, and dating in later life. We touched on the role of sexologists in helping couples navigate their sexual life, often having gone through couples therapy, and the fascinating impact they can have.Zoe's been working on a memoir, as have I, and we traded stories about the highs and lows of writing about our personal lives.

When Andrew Kirkaldy's marriage was on the brink of collapse, he found a lifeline in an unexpected place: The Dad Edge Podcast. In a moment he calls a "God shot," he stumbled upon a co-parenting episode that sparked a journey of profound transformation. Navigating separation, Andrew Kirkaldy leaned on two crucial communities: AA, where he's celebrating six years of sobriety, and The Dad Edge Alliance. Through these brotherhoods, he discovered a life-changing truth: self-love is the foundation for being a great father. This realization ignited a remarkable transformation, one that his children and the players he coaches immediately noticed. Andrew emerged as the man he always wanted to be—strong, sensitive, goofy, and fair. Reignite your marriage: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage Andrew's journey highlights the power of community and self-discovery. Here's what his experience reveals: Studies show that individuals who participate in support groups during life transitions experience a 30% increase in resilience. Research indicates that men who achieve sobriety experience a 45% improvement in family relationships. Peer support has been shown to increase self-esteem by 25% in individuals facing significant life challenges. Andrew Kirkaldy shares the hard-earned wisdom from his personal crisis, offering insights on authentic self-discovery and purposeful parenting. His story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, transformation is possible. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads. Sit back, tune in, and get ready to be motivated by the remarkable guests of the Dad Edge community. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.thedadedge.com/mastermind
