Podcasts about Lonely

Is the real crisis today economic — or architectural? In this episode, we challenge the idea that loneliness and despair come from a broken ladder of upward mobility. What if the problem isn't that we can't climb… but that we were taught to measure our worth by climbing in the first place? Drawing from Middlemarch, modern work culture, and personal experience, this conversation explores why craftsmanship, authorship, and daily building may be the antidote to vertical despair.In this episode:Why the “career ladder” mindset fuels anxiety and comparisonThe difference between climbing and buildingHow craftsmanship creates internal pride (and hunger)What Lydgate's crisis in Middlemarch teaches us about collapsed ambitionWhy being seen — not promoted — can save a lifeThe power of asking: “Am I actually in danger right now?”Moving from passive consumption to generative actionHow to build meaning even when the system feels unstable

Dana Delany surprises, Sam Rockwell and David Spade pop in, and Schrader turns midlife crisis into mood.Before the main event: Common Toxic Love Traits (2026 Edition)—weaponized therapy-speak, soft-launched relationships, digital surveillance romance, manifesting instead of communicating, and why millennials don't get divorced… they just divide Paramount+ and DVD collections after the free trial ends.Plus:Pluto TV quietly dominating horror month (Friday the 13th, Scream, Children of the Corn overload)Fan service hot takes on Mad Max and Back to the FutureA comedy cooldown with I Love You, ManAnd a closing reminder that the real party moved appsIf you're into movie reactions, toxic romance, '90s crime films, Paul Schrader deep cuts, or watching Willem Dafoe Dafoe around NYC at night—this episode's for you.More toxic love next time.

Loneliness can show up even in the busiest, most connected parts of life. In the first message of the "Lonely Less" series, Pastor Mike teaches about where true connection begins—and what might be missing in the places we often look for it. Drawing from both Scripture and everyday experience, this message gently reframes the way we think about being alone. It invites us to consider a presence that doesn't depend on people, pace, or circumstance.

In this episode, Vince and Cara turn their attention to a question many social workers quietly wrestle with: is it lonely at the top? Drawing on lived experience from both sides of the desk, they explore how poor management harms staff, the emotional weight and isolation that can come with leadership roles, and why moving into management is not - and should not be - the default marker of success in social work. The conversation ranges from micromanagement and burnout to power, safety, and what social workers can reasonably demand from those leading them, offering a thoughtful and honest look at a part of the profession that is often misunderstood. Created by social workers, for social workers. Join the conversation every Friday morning.

Why success is lonely. It's often not for the reasons you think. Many high-caliber leaders find themselves in periods of collapse and losing their mojo. It's rarely talked about at the top. Yet, it's increasingly common.In this episode, Colette Davenport, a private metaphysician to high-caliber leaders and power players, joins Julian Hayes II for a raw, expansive conversation on what happens when the strategies, identities, and systems that once drove success suddenly stop working.Colette describes what she calls the void: an internal collapse that can't be solved by hustle, intellect, therapy, or even peak performance tools. Drawing on her own experience and her work with high-level leaders, she explains why these moments aren't failures but, instead, evolutionary thresholds.Together, they explore why ambition eventually turns inward, how identity quietly shapes success and isolation, and what it really takes to rebuild from a place deeper than strategy. This episode reframes burnout, success, and power, not as problems to fix, but as invitations to transform.This is a grounded, honest conversation about wealth, health, identity, and what leaders unknowingly pass on, unless they choose to do the work.— Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) —0:00 – Introduction and 2025 reflections2:45 – The quiet collapse happening inside high performers6:30 – Why intellect, hustle, and conventional tools stop working10:55 – When success feels empty despite external wins15:40 – Surrender vs. effort: knowing when to stop pushing20:10 – Do leaders need to hit rock bottom to evolve?24:30 – Soul wounds: the invisible identity driving success and collapse29:45 – Why patterns show up in money, relationships, or health34:20 – “Soul surgery”: how identity actually gets rebuilt41:10 – Emotional processing vs. intellectual understanding47:00 – Why addictions, endurance sports, and intensity can become escapes53:40 – Childhood moments that silently shape adult identity58:00 – Redefining power beyond ego and status1:01:30 – The first honest question leaders must ask themselves1:07:15 – Riding the wave instead of fighting it1:09:00 – Where to connect with Colette— Key Quotes from Colette Davenport — “The harder I worked, the further away everything became.”“We don't go back to who you were. We let it collapse.”“The soul wound is not a trauma. It's the veil that allows us to experience being human.”“Power is knowing self as source and seeing others the same way.”— Connect With Colette Davenport —Website: https://colettedavenport.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colettedavenport/ — Connect with Julian and Executive Health —LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianhayesii/Ready to take your health, leadership, and performance to the next level?

A friend said something to me a few months ago (while I was complaining) that stopped me in my tracks: “Everyone wants a village — but nobody wants to be a villager.”And once I heard it, I couldn't un-know it. So many of us (AKA, me!) say we want deeper friendships, stronger community, people who show up for us… yet we're participating in a culture that prioritizes convenience, hyper-independence, comfort, and productivity over closeness. We've optimized ourselves out of connection. We interact with services, not people. We protect our peace so hard, we don't even consider the needs of others. We complain about loneliness and how hard it is to make friends as adults, but most people opt out of the effort and inconvenience that comes with community and togetherness.So today, we're unpacking the loneliness epidemic, the friendship recession, and what modern society is getting wrong about community-building. Most importantly, we cover how to actually be a villager, even when you're busy, burnt out, uncomfortable, or socially awkward.We weren't meant to do life alone. And the village you're looking for might start with you.If you've been craving deeper friendships, more support and belonging, and being a part of something bigger than yourself, this episode is your reminder that community is built through effort, presence, generosity, and a willingness to be inconvenienced for the sake of care and connection.Tune in to hear:What it really means to “be a villager” (and why closeness comes at a cost)The role convenience culture plays in loneliness and isolationThe mental and physical health benefits of strong social tiesWhy self-care is overrated, because healing isn't a solo sportHow to start building your village through consistent micro-connectionsReciprocity, generosity, and why community is about equity, not equalitySaying yes more, and becoming a supportive attendeeHow to avoid social burnout and people-pleasingHow to show up as a village leader (the art of hosting and building what doesn't exist)Taking social risks and dealing with rejectionLetting yourself show up imperfectly — messy house, bad mood, and all Sign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

We are living in a time period where humans are spending less time together than ever, and more and more mechanisms in the market are facilitating this. Cultural trends and a host of demographic realities are reinforcing a human isolation that is problematic at best, and catastrophic at worst.In today's Capital Record, David addresses the human element of social interaction, and the very nature of things that undergirds this. He laments this social trajectory and recognizes where market forces can serve to accommodate unhealthy trends if human beings stay determined to do unhealthy things. But he suggests that the solution is not in criticizing the natural accommodation of markets but rather in reversing those feedback loops through intentional and deliberate action. Naturally, he finds the state's role in this to be dubious. Rather, and with some biographical confessions, he suggests that the solution to people being increasingly alone, lonely, and devoid of healthy, human interaction, starts with us.Show notes:Derek Thompson on the anti-social century Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In today's episode I discuss how in a world of constant contact, many of us feel more disconnected than ever, from other people, from nature, and from ourselves. I chat about why modern life fragments attention, weakens real relationships, and leaves the nervous system overstimulated.  I also speak about why technology can support connection but can't replace presence, belonging, and grounded human contact, and you'll get tto hear about the simple practices I use to rebuild focus, emotional regulation, and meaningful connection. if you enjoy this episode, I'd love for you to pleaase share or/and rate and review my podcast : ) Thank you for tuning in!!   With love and peace always, Amber xoxo    

In this episode, we explore how poverty affects mental health and increases suicide risk, particularly through relative deprivation, structural barriers, and unclaimed government aid.

The right-wing dating site Whitedate.net, dubbed the ‘Nazi Tinder', has dozens of members across Ireland. But only one of them mentions love as a motivation, many mention the need to “breed” for the “white race”. The site's thousands of profiles were leaked online after a hack. A lonely Belfast man said he was looking for a “lady who has never been soiled by other races” and “a bride willing to have children, in order to stop the destruction of our people.” Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph reporter Kurtis Reid. *This podcast was first published by our sister podcast The BelTel on Mon Jan 19th 2026.* See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is not your usual podcast episode.This is a guided meditation designed to meet you in the quiet places—the tiredness that lingers in your body, the loneliness that doesn't always have words, and the moment in life where something old no longer fits, but something new hasn't fully arrived yet.This episode is part of a special meditation series created to complement the work inside Lonely AF: A Therapist's No BS Guide to Feeling Less Alone.Here, loneliness is not treated as a problem to fix or a flaw to overcome.Instead, it's honored as a threshold—a sacred in-between space where inherited roles, survival identities, and emotional patterns begin to loosen.If you've been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you're standing at the edge of a version of yourself you don't fully recognize anymore, this meditation is for you.You don't need to push.You don't need to perform healing.You only need to arrive.Put on your headphones, get comfortable, and allow yourself to cross something quietly powerful. The Identity Inventory Pause:When loneliness or exhaustion shows up, pause and ask:“What role am I still playing that I no longer need?”This tool isn't about changing behavior—it's about naming what you're carrying.Awareness alone begins the release.Use this question whenever your energy feels drained without explanation. HOMEWORK PRACTICEThe Role Release Ritual (5 Minutes)Tonight or sometime this week:Write down 3 roles you learned in your family system to survive(e.g., caretaker, peacekeeper, achiever, invisible one).Read them out loud.Say: “These roles protected me. I no longer need to live inside them.”Fold the paper and place it somewhere symbolic—or tear it up if that feels right.No analysis. No fixing. Just acknowledgment. TAKEAWAYLoneliness doesn't always mean you need more people. Sometimes it means you're meeting yourself without the roles that once defined you.That space can feel quiet, empty, even unsettling—but it's also where your truest identity begins to emerge. Your CTA for Presence:The next time loneliness arises, resist the urge to distract, numb, or explain it away.Instead, place a hand on your chest and say: “I'm listening.”Because loneliness isn't asking you to escape yourself—it's asking you to finally arrive.xo,Dr. Sylvia K

YOUR PERSONAL BRAND LEVELED UP STARTS HERE: https://freebrandcall.com/mattlebris What does it really take to bet on yourself — especially when the path feels isolating and uncertain? In this episode, I sit down with Lil Mo Mozzarella to talk about leaving a stable career, stepping into comedy later in life, and why real confidence is built through action, not approval. We unpack the loneliness that comes with growth, the importance of protecting your value, and how turning pain into purpose is often the key to long-term success. This conversation is about earned self-belief — the kind that comes from showing up, taking risks, and staying in the game even when it's uncomfortable. WATCH EVERY EPISODE ON YOUTUBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@MattLeBris In this episode, we cover: • Why betting on yourself can feel isolating • How Mo pivoted into comedy • The cost of chasing validation • Protecting your value in business • Turning pain into purpose • Why regret is heavier than failure Connect with Lil Mo Mozzarella

Watch the Screenplay Reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz6Xi_bkTbE When a troubled teen's wish to make everyone disappear comes true, she risks losing them permanently and must rely on an unlikely ally to save her town – the school bully. Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? It's about a teenage girl who gets bullied at school and is in a very dark place at the beginning of the story. She gets in a fight with her mother and in the heat of the moment, she wishes everyone would disappear. Little does she know that her wish instantly becomes true. She has to navigate through her new world and come to terms with herself and the other people in her life before she can move on. What genres does your screenplay fall under? coming of age, fantasy, drama Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? I think a lot of young people can relate to the feelings of isolationism, grief, and trauma early in life that this movie presents. The lead character also deals with a lot of loneliness. Sometimes that loneliness is desired and wanted and sometimes it makes her wish for someone to be with her. It shows that our feelings are changing on a daily basis and don't evolve in a neat linear pattern. I think ultimately what this movie expresses is that having these feelings is normal and takes time to sort out. Hope is around the corner even in our darkest hour. ———— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Before Gymboree became a cultural icon in the 80s and 90s, it was just one lonely new mom trying to find connection. Joan Barnes started hosting weekly playgroups for parents… and demand exploded. What began as a diversion became a business. Then a franchise. Then a brand everyone seemed to know, with its padded playrooms and parachute games. From the outside, it looked like a runaway success: hundreds of locations, glowing press coverage, celebrity buzz. But inside, the franchise model was failing. A potential Hasbro rescue vanished overnight. And Joan—while smiling for the world—was breaking under the pressure.Then came a major pivot that helped turn Gymboree around. The company was going to survive, but Joan realized she might not. She stepped away for good, to fight for her health. In this episode, Joan talks frankly about building Gymboree, losing control of it, and learning some vital lessons about ambition, balance, and humility. What You'll LearnThe hidden math of franchising: when scale makes you weaker, not strongerHow—years before social media—Joan used the media as her marketing engine The moment Gymboree nearly died—and the brilliant pivot that saved itWhat it feels like to be celebrated publicly while privately falling apartWhy “more hustle” can be a trapTimestamps: (Timecodes are approximate and may shift depending on platform.)[08:20] “Lonely and isolated”—The new-mom need that sparked Joan's first playgroup[13:43] The early days: parachute games, circle songs, and connecting with other parents[16:59] The first, $3,000 investment, and expanding to new venues.[23:08] Learning the hard way: “I didn't even know what franchise meant.” [38:40] Joan discovers her business model has a terrifying Catch-22[45:05] A humiliating gut punch: Hasbro calls off a life-saving deal [50:15] The pivot to profitability: play centers + clothing stores[1:03:00] Success on the outside, collapse on the inside: panic, addiction, treatment [1:14:17] After Gymboree: yoga studios, recovery, and redefining successHey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

It's Just information Hoodie now available: https://www.isaiahfrizzelle.com/first-runWe've been taught that expecting less from people is emotional maturity.But what if that narrative is actually protecting avoidance?In this episode, I unpack the growing cultural tendency to label expectations as “too much” while normalizing emotional absence, low effort, and unspoken withdrawal. We talk about how “low-maintenance” has become a shield for neglect, how “capacity” is often confused with accountability, and why so many people want the benefits of connection without participating in the labor of it.This isn't about forcing people to give what they don't have.It's about being honest about what relationships require—and who pays the cost when others opt out.Because expectations don't destroy relationships.Avoidance does.

In this episode, we use the metaphor of turbulence to explore why intense moments in life can feel dangerous without actually being dangerous—and how the nervous system responds when stability feels lost. Through a grounding practice designed for “arrival,” we offer listeners a simple way to reorient their bodies after emotional, relational, or existential turbulence, without needing to fix or explain anything.In this episode, we cover:The four types of turbulence as metaphors for everyday life stress and emotional instabilityWhy the nervous system confuses intensity with danger—and how that fuels distressHow grounding is about orientation and arrival, not forced calmA single, practical grounding exercise listeners can use at the end of a long day or difficult periodThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han sits down with Derek Notman and Adam Holt, co-founders of REBL Dads, for an honest conversation about the collision of fatherhood and entrepreneurship. Derek shares his journey growing up in a broken household, becoming a young father himself, and navigating entrepreneurship without the support system he needed most. He opens up about the moment he realized that being a dad is hard, being an entrepreneur is hard, and trying to do both without community can feel overwhelming and isolating. Together, Derek and Adam talk about why existing communities often focus on either business or parenting, but rarely both. When they couldn't find a space that supported the full reality of being a dad and a builder, they decided to create it themselves. The conversation explores the importance of shared experience, honest support, and building something meaningful not just for success, but for sustainability. This episode is for founders, operators, and dads who have ever thought, “There's gotta be a better way.” ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further together.

Have you ever been surrounded by people (even in a relationship) and still felt alone? That's because loneliness isn't about being alone, it's what happens when your sense of self is tied to something outside of you … so when connection disappears, you feel like you disappear. In this episode, I break down why most people feel lonely, why we're scared of it, and how a lot of us are way more codependent than we think (we just call it “love” or “attachment” to make it sound prettier). I also asked you guys what you're battling internally in your love life right now, and I respond to the stuff I see nonstop: why being single after a long relationship feels brutal, why it's so hard to let go when someone makes you feel whole for the first time in forever, and why the second they switch up, you're desperate to get that feeling back. Then I get into what “doing the work” actually is. This episode is a bid to help you start trusting yourself and letting go of the fear of being misunderstood.

In this episode of How Married Are You, we respond to a listener email from a newly married wife who's quietly struggling with loneliness. Between long work hours, late nights, exhaustion, and limited time together, she's worried this season might become their new normal — and she doesn't want to come across as ungrateful or like a nag for wanting more connection.We talk honestly about marriage seasons, why hard rhythms don't automatically mean something is wrong, and how to tell the difference between a temporary grind and a deeper issue. Glen and Yvette share what they would do differently if they could revisit similar seasons in their own marriage, and why how you show up now impacts the seasons ahead.This conversation covers:How to survive a lonely season in marriageCommunicating needs without resentmentWhy seasons change (even when they feel endless)Staying connected when schedules don't alignBuilding support and community outside your spouseIf you're married and wondering, “Is this just a season — or is this our forever?” this episode is for you.Resources & LinksOrder the book: Father Yourself First https://www.amazon.com/Father-Yourself-First-Everything-Deserves/dp/1400252555]Order the book: Release • Rest • Remain https://a.co/d/ihBmSdO](https://a.co/d/ihBmSdOAudiobook: Listen to Glen read Father Yourself First wherever audiobooks are available.Premarital Advantage: Questions and worksheets for dating, engaged, and newlyweds https://howmarriedareyoupodcast.mykajabi.com/offers/VAbsx8N2Saturday Men's Group (Black men, 7 a.m. PT): Join the Father Meet-Up on Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81971875325?pwd=cY3k96A8j1b0WMLPHF5ym0bNSNaRdj.1Patreon Community: Access bonus conversations and behind-the-scenes content [https://www.patreon.com/HMAY](https://www.patreon.com/HMAY)

THE LONELY END OF NORSE GREENLAND Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. The final segment explores the disappearance of the Norse settlement in Greenland, focusing on the Herjolfsnes graveyard. Preserved clothing from the 15th century reveals garments that were patched repeatedly, symbolizing the colony's isolation and poverty. Barracloughdescribes a poignant detail: a woman's dress that ripped as she was buried, marking the end of the settlement. Factors discussed include a cooling climate and interactions with the Inuit, evidenced by carved wooden figures. The history closes with a report of a witch burning in 1407, near the colony's end. NUMBER 8

THE FUNERALS AND MARGUERITE'S ERRATIC BEHAVIOR Colleague Paul Gregory. This segment contrasts the global mourning for President Kennedy with the lonely burial of Lee Harvey Oswald at Rose Hill, where reporters served as pallbearers. Marina Oswald was in a daze, emotionally devastated by watching Jackie Kennedy and the state funeral on television. Meanwhile, Marguerite Oswald became increasingly difficult, arguing over trivialities and insisting her son was an innocent hero and intelligence agent. Her erratic behavior and refusal to accept facts caused significant friction with the Secret Service agents protecting them. The Gregory family spent Thanksgiving in a "fog," discussing Marguerite's instability, a detail Paul notes was largely absent from the official Warren Report despite its significance in understanding the family dynamic.
