Podcasts about love letters

The people of the Middle Ages were no strangers to Cupid's arrows, and just like us, they loved a good love letter. But in a world where literacy rates were far below what they are today, who was writing their most heartfelt feelings down? And how do we know? This week, Danièle speaks with Myra Stokes and Ad Putter about where we find love letters, and the way people wrote and sent them, along with a couple of spicy – and hilarious – examples.You can enrol in Danièle's online course Calamity and Change: An Introduction to the Fourteenth Century at https://medievalstudies.thinkific.com/courses/calamity-and-change

Cori and Nina chit-chat about things that have nothing to do with gender: heat indices, ducktails, cat poop, impermanence, Hulk Hogan, Conway's Game of Life, Michigan in the summer, Permethrin, online shopping, Spaceballs, elephants, and The Book of Job. But other topics in our wandering conversation are inevitably related to gender: Psycho, synthetic blue velvet dresses, hijabs, and a recently-deceased poet. As always, we ask the important questions: Why would God create mosquitoes? Does Reality exist beyond our perceptions? Why is 24fps better than 25fps for animators? Does Nina's loss of her female tonsils make her less of a woman? How many hats does Cori have?

What does it really mean to build a relationship outside the rules you were taught? Is it still polyamory if only one person has other lovers? And most importantly, what happens when that dynamic actually works for you? In this honest and eye-opening conversation, multi-disciplinary entertainer, author, and founder of Movement Genius, Alyson Stoner, shares their experience in their polyamorous journey. We dive into the importance of knowing your own capacity for connection, and Alyson's go-to communication tool: Frequency, Duration, and Intensity. It's a simple yet powerful way to check in about how often you connect, for how long, and with what level of emotional depth. Even if you're monogamous, this framework can change the way you relate, helping you set boundaries, stay aligned, and make sure your relationships feel balanced and intentional. Whether you're curious about polyamory or simply want tools for building healthier, more intentional partnerships, this episode will leave you thinking about love in a whole new way.

In this episode, Fr. Edward Looney sits down with Dr. Betty Bosarge to explore the life, legacy, and writings of Fr. Robert Bradley, S.J., with a special focus on Our Lady's Psalter (Angelico Press). Dr. Bosarge, who served as Fr. Bradley's editor, offers a behind-the-scenes look at his writing process—often on a simple yellow notepad—and shares how his meditations on the Rosary can renew the heart of anyone who prays them. Together, Fr. Edward and Dr. Bosarge discuss: Who Fr. Robert Bradley, S.J. was and his devotion to Mary How Dr. Bosarge came to know him and work as his editor The purpose and prayerful use of Our Lady's Psalter Why the Rosary can transform and renew our spiritual lives Why Fr. Donald Calloway recommended this book for Lent Why this work has been called Fr. Bradley's “love letter” to the Blessed Mother If you're seeking a deeper way to pray the Rosary and draw closer to Mary, this episode will inspire you to pick up Our Lady's Psalter and discover its timeless beauty.

In Part 2, Eboné’s guest goes deeper—sharing the moment she had her first drink, how she was drawn into the world of dancing, and the trauma of being assaulted. She speaks candidly about the hard truths that led her toward sobriety, revealing the harsh reality of addiction’s grip and the fierce courage it took to reclaim her life.

Revelation 2-3 | Love Letters | Jon Deedrick

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit...” — John 15:16a (ESV)My child,I have not forgotten you.You were not born by accident or placed in this generation by coincidence. I chose you for this exact moment in history. When the darkness would thicken and fear would rise, I placed My Spirit inside you—not to hide, but to shine.You've questioned your worth. You've asked, “Am I really ready for this?” But I've been preparing you longer than you know. Every scar. Every battle. Every late-night prayer. I've been building a warrior.When you see chaos in the world, I see the calling I placed in you beginning to awaken. You've felt the weight because I've trusted you with more. And I'm not asking you to carry it alone—I'm carrying you.I have anointed your voice to speak truth. I have set your feet in place to stand firm. I have wrapped you in righteousness, not so you'd look holy—but so you'd be protected for what's ahead.You are not behind. You are not late. You are exactly where I need you to be.The hour is urgent—but you are equipped.Lift your eyes. The trumpet may be near, but until it sounds, I want you running your race with holy fire. You were chosen for this hour. Don't shrink back. I am with you.Always.—Your FatherMy Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Hello lovelies! Thanks for listening (and reading!)This is a re-release. I'm taking a break/pause for the Summer "slowing down to speed up" and am looking forward to what the Fall will bring!To name a few things that I'm working on are!1. An upcoming Audio Summit (to be launched in the Fall of 2025). 'A Summit for High Achieving Introverts, Empaths and Highly Sensitive People to go from Selfless to Self-love and from Depleted to Dynamic!'2. And an upcoming Audiobook (to be released in February of 2026). It will have the same premise and title as the Audio Summit, except it will be 'A Guide for High Achieving Introverts, Empaths and Highly Sensitive People to go from Selfless to Self-love and from Depleted to Dynamic!'I hope you enjoy this episode!Elizabeth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping High Achieving Introverts, Empaths and Highly Sensitive People To Go from Depleted to Dynamic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Freebie!

It's tough as heck sometimes isn't it? We don't wanna be seen as ‘mean' or ‘rude' or ‘selfish' for goodness sakes. We don't wanna be seen as excluding others either but when you think about it we're actually excluding ourselves. The Tonya Dalton quote “when you say yes to someone else, you say ‘no' to yourself”. This is so true. So a good giveaway to see if you're feeling disingenuous is if you're in fact you're saying no to yourself and if the answer is yes then you gotta reevaluate what you're doing because ‘self-care is not self-ish'. And another great quote by Iyanla Vanzant is “what's in our cups is for us, what's overflowing (in the saucer) is for everyone else”. ~~~~~~~~~~If this or any of my podcast episodes have been of value to you, please subscribe/follow and if you would be so kind as to rate me a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review? >>>To do a review on: Apple>>> 1.

What if “happily ever after” starts and ends with just you? In this bold and expansive episode, Shan dives into The Eartha Kitt Effect—a cultural and emotional awakening inspired by the legendary performer Eartha Kitt, whose unapologetic views on love, compromise, and individuality continue to resonate decades later. This “effect” refers to the growing movement of people, especially women, who are choosing the single life on purpose, not by default. Joining Shan is Dr. Bella DePaulo, renowned social psychologist and author of Single at Heart, to unpack why some of the most fulfilled people are not in romantic relationships—and never want to be. Together, they explore:

“A Space Adventure Hour” While studying the neutron star at the center of the Kitolian Belt, Captain Pike and Number One decide that it's the perfect chance to test a new Starfleet innovation that should make extended missions easier: the Holodeck. What better time to push the ship's power resources to the limit than when circling the gravitationally collapsed core of a massive supergiant? What could possibly go wrong? Well, for one thing, a burgeoning television show could be canceled. Also, La'an could get trapped in a simulation with the safeties off. And, in the worst case, the entire crew could be lost as the crushing gravity of the collapsing star pulls the ship apart. But don't worry, Amelia Moon is on the case. But first, some diction lessons. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “A Space Adventure Hour.” We discuss the use of the Holodeck, La'an and Spock's tango, and the Last Frontier cold open as we also ask whether this very meta episode is really a love letter to Star Trek.

a love letter to my fellow dream chasers - keep going - shifting realities and identities is no joke, but you're not alone and you're doing fucking amazing.  

In part 1 I started discussing the ABC News article “GLP-1s work but when they're stopped, the effects stop too: Expert” We discussed the fact that in order to buy the claims their “expert” makes, you first have to buy the dubious claim that simply existing in a higher-weight body, regardless of actual health status, is a health condition requiring treatment (which I wrote about in detail here and here.) We also learned about Dr. Louis Aronne, the “expert” they are quoting who, prior to taking over a million dollars from the companies that manufacture these drugs, wrote three books over three decades claiming he had the secret to permanent weight loss. Today we're going to talk about the contents of the article. As always I'll indent the quotes from the article, you can skip them and still get the gist of this article.

In Part 1, Eboné’s guest shares how alcohol quietly took over her life, reflecting on her childhood trauma, early substance use, and the moments that shaped her alcohol addiction. She reveals a heartbreaking link between starting prescription medication as a child and later embracing alcohol—both times feeling more accepted, more “likable,” and more at ease in the eyes of others—a cycle she didn’t realize had started long before her first drink.

Every parent dreams of an easy, predictable path, but life rarely cooperates with our expectations. Meet Eileen Flood O'Connor, debut author and mother of four, who chronicles a 20+ year journey with her daughter Erin's autism in a gorgeous, joy-drenched essay collection "Eating Pizza Backwards." The book toggles between diagnosis day grief and celebrating grocery store dance parties, revealing waves of gratitude for the many helpers and moments of wonder uncovered day by day, year by year. We explore big questions—How do you parent a child who experiences the world differently? Can unexpected challenges strengthen rather than break relationships? What if slowing down actually speeds up your happiness? Listen in for a frank, honest conversation on navigating life's unexpected turns and learning how to hold grief in one hand and joy in the other.

✨ Episode Summary:Welcome back to the second installment of our original Star Wars trilogy of episodes! This time, Scott and Candice are joined once again by Jackson and Andy to dive lightsaber-first into all things Galaxy's Edge at Disney Parks.From motion sickness on Smuggler's Run to disappointing breakfasts and mysterious cast member detours that derailed a moment in the Millennium Falcon, the crew shares their weirdest, most disappointing, and most magical moments from their trips to Batuu. We also confront the fuzzy tauntauns, DJ Rex's distracting beats, and—let's be honest—our own podcasting mishaps along the way. (Yes, there was a recording snafu. Yes, we made a joke about it.)The gang explores whether Disney hit the mark with Batuu's storyline, the timeline focus on the sequel trilogy, and whether the land should have embraced the nostalgic might of Vader, Leia, and the OG stormtroopers. Plus, they dream up some incredible additions that Disney really should consider—including a character dining experience on Cloud City with a surprise visit from Darth Vader himself.

“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” — Matthew 28:20b (ESV)My beloved child,I know the world feels like it's groaning. I know you see war, division, deception, and confusion. But I want you to hear this truth in the deepest part of your heart—I have not abandoned you.From the beginning, I have written your story into Mine. And that story ends with victory, not fear. You are not called to survive in terror. You are called to walk in confidence, knowing the King of all kings walks beside you.When darkness grows darker, My light shines brighter in you. When the world trembles, I will be your firm foundation. When false voices rise, My Spirit will remind you of truth. And when the enemy whispers fear, My Word will roar louder with peace.I am not pacing the halls of Heaven, nervous about what comes next. I've already won. And you, My child, are on the winning side.Keep your eyes on Me. Don't chase every headline. Don't let fear drown out My voice. Stay in My Word. Stay close to My heart. Stay faithful in the little things.I chose you for this moment in time—not to be shaken, but to be steadfast. Not to blend in, but to stand out. Not to hide, but to shine.And when it all feels too much, come sit with Me. I'll remind you—I am with you… all the way to the end.With all My love,— Your FatherMy Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

There are a couple of online articles floating around that literally hundred of you have asked me to write about. One is the Washington Post “reporting” on the study about eating and body size. That study is…a lot, so while I'm slogging through that article and the study it references, today I'm going to write about the other article. Published by ABC News and called “GLP-1s work but when they're stopped, the effects stop too: Expert” Get full access to Weight and Healthcare at weightandhealthcare.substack.com/subscribe

Together, we explore the tender terrain where intuition becomes lifeline, voice becomes medicine, and visibility becomes initiation. Elysia shares the sacred unraveling of her path—how a cancer diagnosis called her deeper into devotion, how performance softened into presence, and how she began listening to the voice that had always known. We journey through: - The quiet power of intuition - The difference between performance and presence - What it means to evolve in public, and still choose truth - The sacredness of the voice in creative work - Navigating the projections that come with being seen - How devotion, not discipline, opens the gates to prosperity Elysia  work with The Brilliance Method invites visionary leaders to shed the masks and embody their essence—not someday, but now. This conversation is an invitation back to what's real, to what's raw, and to the kind of prosperity that begins in the heart and resounds through the voice. More About Elysia: Elysia Skye | Intuitive Mentor, Speaker & Creator of The Brilliance Method® Elysia Skye is an intuitive mentor, award-winning speaker, and the visionary behind The Brilliance Method®—a sacred framework guiding soulful leaders into aligned abundance through the quiet power of intuition, radical self-trust, and embodied clarity. Her path is one of deep listening. It was her own intuition that spoke the truth of a life-altering cancer diagnosis—an initiation that rooted her work in devotion, not performance. From that threshold forward, Elysia has committed her voice and vision to helping others reclaim their own. She's brought her medicine to spaces held by Oprah, Google, Sony, and L'Oréal—yet her deepest impact lives in the sacred moments where someone dares to follow their knowing. Through storytelling, resonance, and grounded accountability, Elysia invites others into prosperity that is no longer performed—but felt, lived, and spoken into being. She is the host of The Brilliance Method Podcast, where she explores the intersection of intuitive leadership, voice, and wealth—reminding us that brilliance is not something we chase. It's something we remember.

This episode is our tribute to poet Andrea Gibson, who passed away recently and left behind some of the most stunning insights about love, illness and what it really means to show up for one another. Kelly shares an excerpt from Andrea's blog regarding being sick—how friends would ask what to bring when they visited and Andrea's partner would say "bring your problems," because being needed was just as important as being cared for. It's such a simple but profound idea: that even when we're struggling, we still want to feel useful, to be more than just someone who needs help. The episode ends with Andrea's gorgeous poem "Love Letter from the Afterlife," which completely reimagines what death might be like—not as leaving but as becoming more present than ever before. It's the kind of writing that stops you in your tracks and makes you think about love and loss in an entirely new way.

Matchmaking for Psychopaths by Tasha Coryell https://www.amazon.com/Matchmaking-Psychopaths-Tasha-Coryell/dp/0593640306 Love is a dangerous game when your clients are killers…from the bestselling author behind Love Letters to a Serial Killer. When Lexie's fiancé runs off with her so-called best friend on her birthday, her carefully crafted fairy-tale life shatters. Having survived horrors in her past, she was determined to finally get her happily-ever-after—and she's not giving up yet. To distract herself, Lexie throws herself into her unusual job: matchmaking psychopaths (a specialty her clients are blissfully unaware of). But the loneliness is crushing. So when a gorgeous, overprotective new client named Aidan insists they're soulmates, and another intriguing client, Rebecca, seems perfect to fill the best-friend-shaped hole in her life, Lexie can't help but find the attention comforting—despite her own professional boundaries. Then a human heart appears on Lexie's doorstep. As more threatening packages arrive and her fiancé mysteriously disappears, she must confront a terrifying question: did she inadvertently match herself with a killer? Between Aidan's claims that her fiancé will never return, Rebecca's growing presence in her life, and her own dark past resurfacing, Lexie's matchmaker instincts are being tested like never before. Because someone is determined to ensure her story ends with a funeral.

What if the love story you were chasing… was never really yours? In this episode, actress Miranda Rae Mayo joins Shan to explore the journey of finding love by letting go of the fantasy. Known for her role on Chicago Fire, Miranda opens up about her current relationship and how she had to release the pressure to be “perfect” to experience a real connection. Together, they explore how love doesn't always look the way we expected, and why exploring non-monogamy challenged (and expanded) her thoughts around love, security, and partnership.

We are rebroadcasting our extended conversation with Andrea Gibson as we honor their death on July 14th, 2025. The conversation, originally aired In September of 2023, was entitled “The Blessings of the Wound.” For so many of us who have been touched by Andrea's work, their death is a deep wound, one that will stretch and expand our hearts in accordance with its depth.   In the episode, Andrea contemplates the deeply rooted societal fears of disconnection and of death. Facing fear, confusion, and loss head on, Andrea reminds us that healing is a return to the self, a return to community. Through poem and spirituality, Andrea draws us to see the beauty in being alive in this particular life, in our particular bodies, at this particular time. Their presence and attention is life-giving. As Andrea shares their journey connecting to the eternal, genderless “We,” they invite listeners to contemplate their identities beyond this life alone. As we let the need to know fall away, what miracles might reveal themselves to us?While you listen to this episode, we invite you to consider their words in the poem “Love Letter from the Afterlife.” Andrea writes, “ I know that to be human is to be farsighted. But feel me now, walking the chambers of your heart, pressing my palms to the soft walls of your living. Why did no one tell us that to die is to be reincarnated in those we love while they are still alive?” Learn more at https://forthewild.world/listen/andrea-gibson-on-the-blessings-of-the-wound-homageAs tribute to Andrea, we will be offering a free download of our zine, Grief, in our Friday, July 24th newsletter.
