Podcasts about Lonely

Sarah reflects on selling her therapy practice, surviving burnout, and discovering that healing sometimes means walking away. This week we're sharing a conversation that originally aired on Lonely at the Top, hosted by Rachel Alexandria.  Rachel works with CEOs, founders, executives, and high performers navigating the emotional weight of leadership, so it makes sense that this conversation was about one of the most transformative—and painful—chapters of my professional life. In this episode: Why leadership can become profoundly lonely—even when you're surrounded by people The hidden relationship between trauma, workaholism, and burnout Navigating residential treatment and recovery during COVID What suicidal ideation can reveal about feeling trapped and overwhelmed Why asking for help may be one of the most important leadership skills we develop If you've ever felt trapped by success, isolated by leadership, or overwhelmed by the pressure of holding everything together, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone and that healing doesn't require perfection. Originally aired on Lonely at the Top in 2025.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Lilly Larsen live from Thrive Live 2026 in Vegas to talk about how she has carved out a unique, relationship-driven role as a Henry Schein field sales consultant. Lilly shares how she entered dental from a non-clinical background, leaned into her marketing experience, and built a business-minded approach that goes far beyond supplies and equipment.  She discusses the importance of live events, community building, strategic partnerships, and helping dentists have bigger conversations about their practices, goals, and growth. Dr. Costes and Lilly also explore her origin story, the influence of her father's entrepreneurial career shift, her time as a collegiate swimmer, and how discipline, discomfort, and competitiveness shaped her professional path. Lilly also explains how she is setting boundaries, creating better systems, and focusing more deeply on startup practices, acquisitions, and doctors who want a true consultant rather than a transactional sales rep.

You already know the feeling. You put your phone down after an hour of scrolling and somehow feel more drained than before you picked it up. Maybe you're in a room full of people you love, and everyone's looking at their screen instead of each other. Maybe you've been quietly wondering if the way you've been living and connecting is actually working for you anymore. If any of that sounds familiar, this conversation is going to feel like coming up for air. I brought Julie Sands back into The Ripple Effect Podcast, and I'll be honest with you: time completely disappeared during this one. Julie is one of the most curious, well-read, and genuinely giving people I have ever had the pleasure of calling a friend. And her story alone is worth the listen. She started her career as an architect, then moved into project management, public works administration, and business development for a construction cooperative. But every single transition she has made has been driven by one thing: a deep commitment to understanding people and helping them show up as their best selves. She is an author, podcast host, and entrepreneur, and she recently became a chapter leader for Mothers Against Media Addiction (MAMA), an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the very thing we talk about in this episode. That is not a coincidence. That is Julie living out exactly what she believes. We got into what the research actually says about what makes people happy (and it is probably not what most of us spend our days chasing), why doom scrolling is quietly reshaping the way we relate to the people right in front of us, and what it really looks like to pursue meaningful relationships in a world that is designed to keep you distracted. We also touched on something I think a lot of people in that halftime stage of life are feeling but not saying out loud: the quiet question of what you actually want to do with the time you have left. What lights you up? What have you been putting off? What does your real purpose look like now that some of those earlier pressures have started to lift? Julie is also running two podcasts, working on a book, and the way her brain connects ideas is something you genuinely have to hear for yourself. Come hang out with us. You will not regret it.

The key word is charming in the 745th edition of Have You Ever Seen. Only The Lonely has John Candy playing a single Chicago cop who lives with his widowed mother (Maureen O'Hara). He's an extroverted sweetheart who falls for shy Ally Sheedy, but while his bigoted mom might love her son(s), that love is on HER terms. Candy didn't get to play the romantic lead very often (or ever?) before Chris Columbus gave him that chance in the Mama's Boy movie, but he showed he had the chops to evolve as more than just a laugh machine. Then he was dead only a few years later. Only The Lonely wasn't very popular 35 years ago, but it works really well as a dramedy...and it's nearly impossible not to like the 2 leads. In any case, it's good to be a cop in love in a sweet little movie.

I recorded this episode in the middle of one of the most emotional weeks of my life. My daughter Cora was three days from graduating high school, and I found myself at backyard parties where the conversation kept drifting to the same familiar places: the weather, work, the kids.And I felt that quiet ache I believe so many of us are carrying right now. The longing for something deeper. More real. More connected.So that's what today's episode is about: how we find the courage to have more connection.Something Is ShiftingBecause I think we all feel it. This quiet ache underneath the busyness of our lives. We reach for our phones in line for coffee instead of turning to the person next to us. We text instead of call. We scroll instead of sit. We show up to gatherings and perform a version of ourselves the edited, polished, “I'm fine” version instead of actually arriving in all our beautiful messiness.And from this? We feel less connected. More lonely. More invisible.Here's what I've learned in 25 years as a therapist: loneliness isn't about being alone. You can be surrounded by people at a party, in a marriage, in an office full of colleagues and still feel profoundly unseen. The opposite of loneliness isn't proximity. It's depth.And the data tells us loneliness is worse for your health than smoking, obesity, or high blood pressure. Anxiety and depression are the highest ever, and we are more likely to die from feeling lonely. The epidemic is real.But here's what I know after 25 years of sitting with people in my office: loneliness is not the problem. It's the symptom. Connection is the medicine. And the prescription? COURAGE.The courage to ask a real question. To say the true thing. To let someone love you back. So here are the four pillars of courage to create more connection and therefore more LOVE.The Four Pillars of Courage for Connection✨1. Ask for HelpHere's the thing about asking for help: we avoid it because we think it makes us look weak or like a burden. A Harvard and Wharton study found the number one reason people don't ask for help: it makes us feel incompetent.But here's what the research actually shows. When you ask someone for help, they see you as more competent. They trust you more. And this is the part I love so much: they feel like they matter.I have been a therapist for decades, and I still feel resistance every single time I walk into my own therapist's office. But this week, in the middle of all the graduation chaos, I asked a couple of friends for help. And I felt the weight lift. I wasn't just giving love anymore. I was letting people give me love back.Next time someone asks how you're doing, try this instead of “fine”:“I've been wrestling with something lately. Can I get your take on it?”“Honestly, I could use some advice. I've been dealing with something hard.”Watch what happens to their face. Watch their eyes change. You just told them they have something real to offer you. You just allowed them to love you.✨2. Be AuthenticI know authenticity gets thrown around so much it almost loses its meaning. So here's what I actually mean by it: tell the truth. Not the highlight reel, not the LinkedIn version. The real one.I was on a walk with a dear friend recently, and I could feel she'd been carrying something heavy for months. I kept holding back, not wanting to push. But finally I said: “I see something going on with you. I feel like you're carrying something hard. Can I be here for you?”She was honest. She cried. And then I could share my own fears about Cora leaving for college. We walked away closer than we'd been in years.Try slipping one of these into your next conversation:“What's been the hardest part of your week?”“If you're being totally honest, how are you?”People might pause. It might get a little uncomfortable. The Buddhists teach that we need to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.✨3. Make ChangeYes, the world is noisy. Yes, our phones, schedules, and the general chaos of life are real. But we still get to choose where we spend our time and if we want to connect on a deeper level.It is our responsibility to create the rituals, the invitations, the conversations for more connection. A month ago I challenged myself to walk up to a table of strangers, young, hip, athletic mountain bikers, and ask if they'd be on my podcast. My heart was pounding. But when I did, they looked up. They smiled. They felt seen.And at a graduation party recently, I stopped a new friend and said, “I'm challenging myself to go deeper at these parties. So here's my question: in a year from now, what do you want to be celebrating?”We both got quiet. Then she said: “I want to be celebrating that I don't worry as much. That I've let go of the weight I carry around my kids and my divorce. That I'm finally celebrating who I am.”That is the kind of conversation that stays with you. That's the one you remember.✨4. Be in Service: Show Up to See, Not Just to Be SeenMost of us walk into a room carrying some version of the same quiet anxiety: Do I look okay? Will people like me? Am I enough? You are not alone in that. I feel it every time too.But what if you walked in with just one question in your heart:“Who in this room needs to feel less alone today?”That is the shift. That is everything. When you become the person who asks the real questions, who listens without fixing, who makes eye contact and says “tell me more,” you become magnetic. Not because you performed well. Because you made someone feel like they mattered.Some of my favorite questions to bring to any gathering:“What's something you wish more people asked you about?”“What's the best thing that's happened to you in the last month?”“How do you want to live?”I heard that last one recently from a son speaking at his father's funeral. I haven't stopped thinking about it since.This Is the MomentWe keep waiting for the right time to have the real conversation. The right setting. The right moment. The right person to go first.There is no right time. This is the moment.By the time you read this, Cora has already graduated. The cap, the gown, the ugly crying it's all happened. And I can tell you that the conversations I will carry from this season are not the ones about the weather. They're the ones where someone looked me in the eye and asked something real.At your next gathering, be the one who goes first. Ask the brave question. Sit with the pause. Put down your phone and let it go somewhere.The world doesn't need more small talk. It needs more of you the real, brave, loving, beautifully messy, imperfect you.That is the magicxoLots of love, Molly

Lately social media has been inundated with the loneliness influencer, the people (mostly women) who glamorize and romanticize a cozy little life alone: frozen pizzas, a glass of wine, and a sweet treat eaten in front of a TV, snug in yoga pants or luxury sweats, in your perfectly gray urban apartment. Is this helpful for those still stuck in our loneliness crisis, teaching them to turn solitude into meaningful me-time? Or is this going to drive everyone insane and lead to the dying out of humanity as a species? Why not both? Jessa and Nico look at the so-called loneliness crisis to see how it got so gendered, whether it's a crisis at all, and how this is how American infrastructure wants us, atomized and confusing people on our screens for our friends and enemies.

In this episode, we explore a most personal and intimate moment in the book of Isaiah, Isaiah 8:11-18. Unlike many prophetic passages that focus primarily on public proclamation, this section reads almost like a private journal entry or poetic diary of God speaking directly and personally to Isaiah about Isaiah himself.Isaiah tells us that “the Lord spoke to me with a strong hand upon me,” revealing the weight, gravity, and deeply personal nature of this encounter. In the middle of political chaos, fear, and spiritual compromise during the reign of Ahaz, God does not merely give Isaiah information — He gives him a personal encounter to guide his relationship with the Lord.This passage becomes even more powerful when we remember the historical setting. The temple in Jerusalem - the very place where Isaiah once encountered the holiness and glory of God in Isaiah 6 - had become corrupted by pagan worship and foreign altars under Ahaz's leadership. The sacred space that once represented God's presence among His people had been overtaken.So where could Isaiah go now? Where could a faithful prophet find refuge when the nation, leadership, and religious system were collapsing around him?God's answer is deeply personal: “The Lord of hosts, Him you shall regard as holy....He will be as a sanctuary/dwelling.” The Lord Himself would become Isaiah's sanctuary, refuge, dwelling place, and source of security.We explore how difficult this kind of trust truly is. External pressures, fear, isolation, rejection, and uncertainty make it incredibly hard to rest in God as our dwelling place. Yet even Isaiah — a prophet with a deeply formed life of obedience and intimacy with God — still needed this word spoken afresh into his situation.From there, we connect Isaiah's experience to Jesus in John 16:31–33. As Jesus forecasts to His disciples His coming abandonment, betrayal, and suffering, He models the same posture Isaiah was called to embrace. Though His disciples would scatter and leave Him alone, Jesus immediately turns to the Father as His refuge: “Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me," and then turns to the Father in prayer.In both Isaiah and Jesus, we discover a profound biblical pattern: when earthly structures fail, when people abandon us, and when familiar places of safety collapse, God invites His people to find their home, refuge, strength, and intimacy in Him alone.Key Passages: Isaiah 8:11–18John 16:31–33Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Have you ever been told that achieving extraordinary success means choosing a life of isolation? In this episode of My Life at a Weird Angle, Lord Milan breaks down the linguistic history and psychological traps behind one of society's favorite cliches: "It's lonely at the top". As a linguist and mindset coach, Milan exposes this phrase as a dangerous falsehood designed either by those who gave up on their dreams as an excuse to stay broke, or by jaded individuals looking to protect their exclusivity. The truth? There is no "top" to begin with—only a continuous mountain of evidence where expanding your success simply expands your parameters, your skills, and your options. Drawing from his own profound journey—from waking up paralyzed in a hospital bed with a broken neck to walking on a treadmill, running multiple businesses, and coaching others to win faster—Milan shares how shifting your internal language and identity changes everything. Tune in to discover how to reject default negativity, ask the ultimate capitalization question, and step into your most fruitful, authentically awesome self. The Deconstruction of a Cliche: Why "it's lonely at the top" is a metric used to deter people from excelling or to justify staying in a comfortable plateau. The Ping-Pong to Tennis Court Analogy: How leveling up your life doesn't isolate you; it just gives you a massive environment with bigger parameters and more options. The Power of Identity: Why real, compound success is dictated not just by who you are and what you accept, but fundamentally by who you are not and what you actively reject. Shifting From Strain to Relief: Understanding that the true pursuit of success is actually a pursuit of relief—from pressure, bills, uncertainty, and other people's opinions. The First Commandment of Identity: A practical look at the universal directive to "be fruitful" and how your unique gifts are mathematically tied to the collective benefit of the world around you.

Dallas, Anne, and Alexis sit down to talk about Zoe Thorogood's masterpiece It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth

You have friends… so why do you still feel lonely? Friendships are more important than ever in adulthood, but they become increasingly hard to make and maintain. But we're in a real loneliness epidemic where most adults feel unseen, alone, and disconnected *even though* they have lots of connections in their lives. The real reason no one's talking about? The “depth gap” that keeps us from being truly vulnerable and connected. Because the problem isn't always that we need more friends… it's that we don't feel known by the people in our lives. In this episode, we're diving into the psychology of modern friendship with psychologist Dr. Elisabeth Crain. From attachment styles and friendship patterns to reciprocity, resentment, and friendship breakups, this interview is a roadmap for healthier, more fulfilling friendships. Tune in to hear: • Why adult friendships are harder to build and maintain  • The "Depth Gap" and why loneliness is often a quality issue, not a quantity issue • How fear of vulnerability and rejection impact intimacy • Attachment styles in friendships • Understanding your friendship blueprint and relationship patterns • Fast-burn versus slow-burn friendships… why pacing matters • Managing reciprocity, imbalance and resentment • The importance of healthy criticism • Tuning into your body's reaction to people  • The art of discernment in picking the right friendships • Why friendships fracture in adulthood Follow Dr. Elisabeth Crain: https://www.drelisabethcrain.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.elisabeth.crain  Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

Lonely in a new city even though you're “connected” all day? We felt that tension hard, so we sat down with Gabor Catas, CEO of Friending Inc., to talk about a different kind of social app: one that's built to get you off your phone and back into real life. Gabor shares why he helped shape the Friending App after years of moving between countries and states, and why loneliness is more common than most people admit, especially after COVID and the shift to remote work.We dig into what makes Friending stand out in the crowded world of friendship apps and dating-style platforms. First, verified identity: the app uses Persona with ID and selfie checks to reduce fake profiles and build trust. Then, the big behavioral change: chat is limited to 10 exchanges, after which you send a friend request with a 30-day window to meet face-to-face. It's a design choice that challenges the endless-texting loop and focuses on making friends through shared activities in your area.We also get practical about safety and real-world meetups. Friending includes a triple-tap feature that can call the police by default, contact a friend, or alert nearby Friending users if you feel uncomfortable. You can browse people within about 50 miles using “Are You In” activity cards and tags, and Gabor paints the best-case future where you can even ping nearby players to fill out a last-minute volleyball team. Plus, there's a fun twist: sending real coffee with a QR code message that can be text, video, or even a song.Listen now, then subscribe, share with a friend who's new in town, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Send us Fan MailSupport the showThanks for listening!Check out this site for everthing to know about women's pleasure including video tutorials and great suggestions for bedroom time!!https://for-goodness-sake-omgyes.sjv.io/c/5059274/1463336/17315Take the happiness quiz from Oprah and Arthur Brooks here: https://arthurbrooks.com/buildNEW: Subscribe monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805181/support Email  questions/comments/feeback to tamara@straightfromthesourcesmouth.co Website: https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/Instagram: @fromthesourcesmouth_franktalkTwitter: @tamarapodcastYouTube and IG: Tamara_Schoon_comicWant to be a guest on Straight from the Source's Mouth: Frank Talk about Sex and Dating?

Here's the uncomfortable truth: forgiveness isn't primarily for the other person… it's for you. (Ugh, we know.) This week we explore what it might mean to stop letting a past wound have the final word over your present life.   LINKS: Book of Forgiving  |  Connect  |  YouTube  |  Coming Up TRANSCRIPT:   Retell from Freya's perspective — what was she feeling as Wally spoke? Name those feelings out loud and mark a stone with washable marker for each one as you name them: Angry. (mark) Sad. (mark) Embarrassed. (mark) Lonely. (mark) "Look at this stone now. Pretty marked up. That's what it looks like when we've been carrying a lot." Watch the video — Freya bringing Wally back, returning him to their community. Unpack: What did Freya choose? She didn't pretend it didn't happen. She didn't say it was okay. But she chose something — and whatever she chose, it changed things. We're going to do something with these stones in a little while. Hold onto yours. Hand out stones and washable markers to kids. Send them back to seats to mark up their stones and work on kids Sunday Papers. Adults — I want to talk to you now. But kids, you're welcome to listen in! Where We've Been Brief catch-up for anyone new or returning: We're in The Book of Forgiving — drawing from Desmond and Mpho Tutu's framework for how forgiveness actually works. The Fourfold Path: Tell the Story → Name the Hurt → Grant Forgiveness → Renew or Release the Relationship. In the first week: We told our stories. Last week: We named the hurt: the feelings underneath the facts. Today: we take the hardest step. We talk about what it actually means to grant forgiveness. The Uncomfortable Truth Here's where we have to say something that cuts against almost everything our culture tells us about forgiveness: Forgiveness is not primarily for the other person. It's FOR YOU. (ugh, I know.) That feels wrong at first. It can even feel like a betrayal of the seriousness of what was done. If I forgive, doesn't that let them off the hook? No. And we'll come back to that. But first… someone wise once put it this way: "Forgiveness is the act of giving up all hope of a better past." Sit with that for a second. Forgiveness isn't giving up on justice. Or saying that what happened was okay. Its not pretending it didn't happen. But instead, forgiveness is releasing the white-knuckled grip on the belief (conscious or not) that somehow, if we hold on tight enough, stay angry enough, rehearse it enough, the past will change. It won't. And the holding on costs us. What the Holding Costs Us This isn't just spiritual intuition. There's reliable research proving it. When we hold onto unresolved hurt— ruminating, replaying, rehearsing— our bodies respond as if the threat is still happening. Cortisol stays elevated. The nervous system stays on alert. Over time this contributes to measurable increases in anxiety, depression, cardiovascular stress, and immune suppression, among other truly serious health issues. We are not built to carry this indefinitely. The body keeps the score, and it charges interest. If we want to “make America healthy again,” it turns out denial just isn't actually gonna do it. Developing cultural practices around forgiving and healing, though? That's the ticket. The Tutus frame the alternative this way: in the Revenge Cycle, we reject our pain and try to make it go away by hurting the person who hurt us. In the Forgiveness Cycle, we face our pain. We don't deny it or minimize it. And we choose to move toward healing instead. The Tutus: "In the Revenge Cycle, we reject our pain and suffering and believe that by hurting the person who hurt us our pain will go away." It doesn't. It never has. It simply multiplies…  There's all sorts of bumper sticker opportunities here: “hurt people hurt people” The trap: waiting to forgive until the other person apologizes. They may never. They might not even know or appreciate what they did. They may never. But if your freedom is contingent on their remorse, they hold a lot of unearned power over you. It lives rent-free in your head. What Forgiveness is Not… Clearing the Ground Again Because this step gets misused more than any other, it's worth naming clearly what granting forgiveness does NOT mean (this is a real “sorry not sorry” moment for repeating this pretty much every week, but we're untangling a real knot here): It does not mean what was done to you was okay. It does not mean you forget. It does not mean you reconcile. (Forgiveness and reconciliation are separate acts — we'll talk about that next week.) It does not mean the other person deserves it or has earned it. It does not mean you have to tell them. The Tutus: "Forgiveness is a choice. Forgiving is how we move from victim to hero in our own story."  And honestly, I love being the hero of my own story, but when it comes to pain, I don't need to be a hero, I just want agency… And this is key: you can pursue justice and forgiveness at the same time. One does not cancel the other. You can hold someone accountable AND release the stranglehold their actions have on your inner life. These are not in competition. It's not one or the other. GRANTING FORGIVENESS… WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS So what IS it then? At its core, the Tutus describe granting forgiveness as an act of RECLAIMING YOUR HUMANITY— and in doing so, recognizing the humanity of the person who hurt you. Not excusing them. Not elevating them. But refusing to reduce either of you to the worst moment between you. This is where the Tutu framework gets genuinely hard. Because recognizing the humanity of someone who hurt you; someone who may have done something terrible… it can feel like a betrayal. But here's what Desmond Tutu learned in the shadow of apartheid, sitting across from perpetrators of atrocity: to call someone a monster is actually to let them OFF THE HOOK. Monsters can't help what they do. Humans can. Naming someone's humanity–  their capacity to choose, and to have chosen badly— is what makes them accountable. And it's what releases you from defining yourself by what they did. The Tutus write: "We know we are healing when we are able to tell a new story." Not a story in which the wound never happened. A story in which the wound is no longer the main character. This is what it looks like in practice: You stop organizing your life around the person who hurt you. You stop letting their actions have veto power over your contentment or joy, your relationships, or your sense of self. You begin— slowly, imperfectly— to live forward instead of backward. It starts feeling less like a feeling and more like a direction. You turn your face toward something other than the wound. Again. And again. That's the practice. Kids Back Up to Close Invite kids back up… talk about those marks on stones. Forgiveness is the process of remembering that “I am not the things that happened to me.” I am not this mark… or that mark…” Those things hurt, and I have feelings about the person that did that thing to me… but I'm going to choose to be confident in who I am, how I treat others, and I get to make choices about my own self… that person doesn't get to make decisions about me for me.” Dip stones in water.  We'll talk more about what happens in our relationships next week, and we'll learn about how Wally & Freya figured that out for themselves and their community of friends. Closing Invitation Now we do something together. "If you've been marking up your stone — kids, adults, anyone — I want to invite you to come forward in a moment and dip it in the water." Brief explanation of what this means and doesn't mean: "This isn't a magic trick. Dipping your stone doesn't mean you're over it. It doesn't mean what happened was okay. It doesn't mean you've completed something." "It's a gesture. A small act of intention. You're saying: I don't want to be defined by this forever. I want to begin to get free." "The Tutus write that we wash the stone — and it's a cleansing, not an erasing. The stone is still the stone. You are still you. But something has been released." Invite people forward — quietly, no pressure, in their own time — to dip their stones in water. Let the room breathe. Music underneath if possible. Closing Next week: reconciliation. What does it actually look like to renew or release a relationship? What's required? What's possible? Come back. A simple benediction: You are more than what was done to you. Go live like it.  

We've all been there, crying out to God and feeling like no one's listening. In this powerful message from Psalm 22, we explore how doubt isolates us from God, from ourselves, and from others and how God's presence never actually leaves.Through the story of David, the cross of Jesus, and a stunning moment with a Brazilian artist in Chile, we're reminded: God is right there with you in the mess, the doubt, and the lonely seasons.

Why do modern men have everything they ever wanted, yet still feel isolated, overworked, and unfulfilled?  In this unfiltered episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaëton sits down with ultra-endurance athlete, health coach, and Mission 22 advocate Marcus Farris to dissect masculine psychology, extreme physical resilience, and the painful transition from the "Young Warrior" to the "Wise King."  Marcus shares his raw, lived experience of surviving a life-shattering divorce, transitioning out of military team environments, and why voluntary suffering is the ultimate prophylactic against a world that will inevitably punch you in the face. If you are a CEO, entrepreneur, father, or leader trying to break free from the "relevance trap," this clinical, no-BS conversation is your blueprint to rebuild your internal capacity for life.  Chapters: 00:00 - The Shattered Ego: Surviving My Divorce 02:09 - Why Modern Men Avoid Suffering (The Eudaemonia Blueprint) 03:51 - Is Your Life Wound Cynical or Sacred? 05:27 - Strength Is For Service, Not Status (Romans 15 Audit) 07:40 - Muay Thai, Hyrox, and Physical Competence 10:31 - How to Break the Ossified Mind Through Body Movement 13:27 - Pushing Past the Mile 20 Breaking Point (Peaks and Troughs) 19:15 - Escaping the Matrix of Habitual Drinking (My First Sobriety Race) 24:51 - Gen Z Screen Addiction vs. Moving Meditation 28:34 - The Ultimate Ego Audit: Relevance vs. Togetherness 37:00 - The Archetypal Transition: Young Warrior to Wise King 41:25 - How to Properly Validate Yourself (Stopping the Search for Approval) 45:19 - Rebuilding the Paternal Bond: The "Male Mother" Archetype 47:15 - Combating Veteran Suicide: The Mission 22 Movement 48:34 - What Every Man Must Do When Life Gets Heavy   Farris's Links: Website:  Support Mission 22 (Veteran Suicide Prevention): https://mission22.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ultrarunfarris/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidcmunson   ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️ https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

What does it mean to truly live well in an age of loneliness, distraction, and endless self-improvement advice? In this episode, Dru Johnson sits down with Alan Noble to discuss his new book on the seven Christian virtues and why recovering ancient wisdom may be the key to human flourishing today. Together they explore how virtues such as courage, temperance, prudence, justice, faith, hope, and love shape a life rooted in Christ rather than in modern self-help culture. The conversation examines the growing loneliness epidemic, the difference between "thin" online communities and meaningful relationships, and why many young adults struggle with agency, friendship, dating, and purpose. Noble argues that virtue is not a life hack or productivity technique but a lifelong process of spiritual formation empowered by the Holy Spirit and cultivated within Christian community. Dru and Alan also tackle the relationship between faith and works, discuss mentorship and the loss of intergenerational wisdom, and explore why courage may be one of the most important virtues for our cultural moment. From social media and smartphone habits to friendship and discipleship, this episode offers practical and theological insights for Christians seeking to live faithfully in a fragmented world.

What if loneliness isn't a sign that something is wrong with you?What if it's a signal pointing you toward something you deeply need?In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dina sits down with trauma-informed therapist, speaker, and author Dr. Sylvia Kalicinski to explore the hidden reality of loneliness - especially the kind that exists beneath achievement, competence, leadership, and success.Drawing from her new book, Lonely AF: A Therapist's No-BS Guide to Feeling Less Alone, Sylvia shares her own journey through grief, emotional isolation, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the lifelong search to feel truly seen.Together, Dina and Sylvia unpack:Why loneliness is far more common than we admitHow high-achieving women often hide loneliness behind successThe connection between confidence, belonging, and emotional lonelinessWhy "I'm fine" and "I've got it" can become emotional prisonsHow comparison quietly fuels disconnectionThe role family dynamics play in shaping our relationshipsWhat happens when we stop performing and allow ourselves to be seenSmall but courageous steps toward connection, trust, and healingThis conversation is honest, vulnerable, funny, and deeply affirming for anyone navigating uncertainty, transition, burnout, or the feeling that they're carrying more than anyone realizes.Because sometimes the bravest thing we can do isn't push harder.It's admitting we don't want to do it alone anymore.Connect with Dr. Sylvia Kalicinski:Author of Lonely AF: A Therapist's No-BS Guide to Feeling Less AloneFollow Sylvia on social media @dr.sylviakLearn more at sylviakalicinski.comIf this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that loneliness is not a personal failure - it's part of being human.

There are conversations every parent knows they should have — and most of them never do. In this episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, mother and daughter go deep on the exact things they wish someone had said to them before life had to teach them the hard way.From family alcoholism surfacing after a 15-year-old's first drunken night, to growing up with two alcoholic parents and never once hearing 'I love you' — Barb and Michelle trace how silence passes down through generations, and what it actually takes to break that chain. This one is for every parent afraid to say the hard thing, and every adult child who's still waiting to hear it.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why 'protecting' your kids from hard truths usually means protecting yourself from discomfort- How to create a safe space so your child actually comes to you — without fishing or manipulating- The HALT tool (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and how to make it a natural part of family life- What to do when you've already said something that closed your child off — and how to repair it- Why you don't need the perfect moment — and how to let hard conversations unfold naturallyFrom psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck's famous opening line in The Road Less Traveled: "Life is difficult." Rather than seeing this as pessimistic, Barb taught Michelle that accepting life's challenges is one of the greatest pathways to peace, resilience, and emotional freedom.“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult ―once we truly understand and accept it― then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” - M. Scott PeckDon't wait for the sit-down talk.

When you're a five-year-old girl, going to dark places can be pretty scary. When my wife was that age, she lived in the country and she had this long, often dark road that she walked to get to the school bus. Part of the way, there was a grandma, and then there was a neighbor who watched and waved at her as long as she was in sight. See, it was that last stretch that was the problem. Trees covering that road, making it dark on the sunniest day, and sounds in the woods that reminded her of those wild critters that lived in their area. She told me how she made it down that stretch. She said, “There was one thing that got me through every day. I sang this little song, ‘Jesus loves me, this I know.'” I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “The Dark and Lonely Stretches.” It was years later and my honey's beloved grandfather was 94 years old. Little did we know that one particular call to him would be her last. It was brief, but it was memorable. Granddad was at the point where he often didn't recognize even the people closest to him even though they had a pretty small family. When my wife called, she identified herself, and he responded, “I don't know who this is.” She again gave her name and reminded him that she was his granddaughter, the daughter of his only son. Just a chuckle on the other end, and Granddad said, “I don't know who this is.” Then, when she told him she loved him, he seemed a little embarrassed. "Who is this strange woman saying she loves me?" That's when my wife said, “Well, Granddad, that's OK. Because all that matters is that you know that Jesus loves you.” We will never forget his suddenly animated response: “Now Him I know!” Think about it: a scared little girl, walking a stretch she had to walk alone; a grandfather, walking the final stretch of life so many have to walk alone. Each of them, at opposite ends of life, finding their anchor in the very same place—in the same person—in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He wants to be your anchor for every dark, every lonely stretch you're going to ever walk—including that final stretch. The one the Bible calls “the valley of the shadow of death.” The writer of that 23rd Psalm put it this way, “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” One “unloseable” relationship that not even death can interrupt. The one that you were made for that you were never meant to lose. The Bible says of Jesus that we were all “created by Him and created for Him” (Colossians 1:16). Problem: we haven't lived for Him. We've chosen to usurp the throne of our life, to do what we want, not what God wants. So life is lonely and meaningless because we're away from the One we were made for. And only the death of the Son of God could pay the penalty for that sin. And how do you know you can count on Jesus for every stretch of the road? Well, our word for today from the Word of God in Romans 8:39, “Nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” That's your ironclad promise from the one who's never broken a promise. He's coming where you are today, offering you this relationship that He actually died to give you. If He wouldn't turn His back on you when loving you meant dying for you, He will never turn His back on you. But you have to open your life to Him. Trust Him totally. Would you do that today? Tell Him, “Jesus, You're my only hope. I'm Yours beginning today.” When you do that, that's how your anchor relationship with Jesus begins. I want you to be sure beyond any shadow of a doubt that you have got this settled with God once and for all. That's why I'm urging you to go to our website's today. It's ANewStory.com. There you'll see the information that will help you be sure you belong to Jesus. This is the only love that will not desert you, never divorce you, never disappoint you, and never die on you. From the moment you give yourself to Jesus, He's going to walk with you every step of the way—all the way to heaven.

A Stoic thinks about what's right. They don't ask, “Is this safe?” They say, “That's wrong.”

We were given the assignment from a listener who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer to watch The Big Lonely (2014). It's a documentary of Michael Nelms lives in isolation with his dog in the remote Oregon wilderness. We go into a deep dive with our reactions to the film's story and how it affected Bobby deeply when it comes to his thoughts on homelessness. ***SPOILER ALERT***: Bobby breaks down the best and worst TV finales of all time.... in his opinion! . His list of the greatest spans a mix of comedies and dramas, while shows like How I Met Your Mother, Seinfeld, and Game of Thrones are widely considered by fans to have the worst finales. We discuss whether or not Eddie will go through the procedure that Amy did of getting a pellet put into his body to boost his testosterone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
