Podcasts about Questioning

You've been meditating. You've been clearing your mind. And nothing's happening. What if the problem isn't that you're doing it wrong, it's that you're doing exactly what prevents connection from occurring? A former Navy Commander turned evidence-based medium and spiritual leader explains why emptiness isn't always the goal, and what one simple reframe could change about your entire spiritual practice.Episode Overview Suzanne Giesemann doesn't fit the spiritual teacher mold, and that's precisely why her work matters. As a former US Navy Commander who served as aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she brought military-grade discipline to a grief-fueled quest for connection after losing her stepdaughter to a lightning strike.The result? Undeniable evidence of consciousness beyond death, and a grounded, replicable approach to mediumship that anyone can learn.This conversation isn't about belief. It's about what happens when you stop trying so hard to quiet your mind and start getting curious about what wants to fill the space.What You'll DiscoverThe counterintuitive meditation instruction that shifts you from "trying to be empty" to "inviting connection", and why this distinction changes everything for frustrated meditatorsWhy discipline beats mysticism when it comes to developing intuition, and how Suzanne's military training accidentally prepared her for mediumshipThe "Hara test" for knowing whether you're receiving guidance or just making things up (hint: it's not in your head or your heart)What actually happens when you ask for proof and the universe delivers, including a story about coffee creamer that'll make you rethink coincidenceThe real reason people don't connect with their loved ones across the veil (it's not lack of ability, it's a misunderstanding about what meditation is for)How to handle fear when opening yourself spiritually, including Suzanne's encounter with "creatures with talons" and the one response that dissolved them instantlyA 3-minute daily practice (the "Sip of the Divine") that requires zero spiritual background and works even if you "can't meditate"Why This Conversation Is Different Most spiritual teachers will tell you to sit, breathe, and wait. Suzanne tells you to sit, breathe, and invite. She doesn't peddle certainty or demand faith, she offers systems, evidence, and the kind of pragmatic wisdom that comes from spending 20 years in uniform before spending 15+ years bridging worlds.If you've been spinning your wheels trying to "get it right," this episode offers permission to stop performing emptiness and start experiencing connection.You're Not Gullible...You're Curious There's no woo-woo bypass here. Suzanne's path began with skepticism, required proof at every turn, and continues to demand evidence. If you're the kind of person who wants spiritual awakening without abandoning logic, this conversation will feel like relief. Questioning isn't a problem. It's how you know you're paying attention.Listen Now Ready to stop clearing the room when someone's about to knock? This episode offers a different instruction manual, one that trusts your capacity for connection and respects your need for proof.Guest: For more from Suzanne Giesemann, visit suzannegiesemann.com and explore her YouTube channel for practical guidance, evidence-based teaching, and tools like her virtual librarian "Grace."The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a pragmatic spirituality podcast for curious minds exploring the unknown without abandoning critical thinking. Each episode breaks down metaphysics explained through grounded conversation, examining hidden truths behind spiritual awakening, consciousness expansion, and expanded consciousness. We explore intuition, mediumship, spirit guides, and the mechanics of healing and personal transformation—bridging skeptical inquiry with meaningful spiritual experience. If you're navigating your own awakening or questioning reality while staying intellectually honest, this podcast is for seekers and skeptics alike.Subscribe, Rate & Review!If you found this episode enlightening, mind-expanding, or even just thought-provoking (see what we did there?), please take a moment to rate and review us.

Feeling lost in your career? Questioning your life direction? So many of us spend our 20s and 30s chasing the job titles we're told we “should” have, lofty income goals, or status, only to end up feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, and like we've sold our soul along the way.What if the answer to career clarity and job satisfaction isn't ahead of you… it's behind you?Research shows that people whose adult careers align with their early interests experience higher job satisfaction, better income, and greater educational attainment. If you loved writing, building, organizing, performing, asking questions, leading groups, solving problems, or creating things as a kid, those patterns can still guide what feels meaningful and easeful in adulthood.So in today's episode, we explore how your childhood interests and your true nature as a kid can offer clues for what will bring you long-term career fulfillment — and why reconnecting with who you were as a child is an evidence-based career strategy.Tune in to hear about:Why so many adults feel lost or misaligned in their careersThe disconnect between societal expectations and your authentic selfHow your childhood “essence” reveals your natural strengthsPrompts to uncover your core natureThe new research linking childhood interests to adult job satisfactionHow interests are often more stable than personality traitsHolland's RIASEC career theory in the 6 interest categoriesHow to use your younger self as a practical career compassFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

We didn't want to leave you all searching for a missing pig before the new season begins on March 2nd. Which is why we're releasing part two of our three-part best-of 2025 clips shows. For cinephiles who love a good disaster, we're diving back into our “Flops” season – a true comedy of errors where we learned that even Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro aren't immune to box-office bombing. Whether you're a regular cinemagoer or a film observation nerd who lives for a good spreadsheet, this episode has a Thing or two for everyone. We're dissecting the mastery of John Carpenter, the “freakiness” of Clive Barker and why Kurt Russell is correct when he states he is “tired of everyone's shit”. What to expect from the show: We discuss why John Carpenter's The Thing is the second-best thing from 1982. Questioning the costumes worn by Dolph Lundgren whilst playing He-Man. Unpacking the scientific logic of Master of the Universe and breaking down the meaning of a “Chromon” Tales of creative accounting leading to the bankrupting of production companies. A look at the “Clive Barker freakiness” and the three different versions of Nightbreed. We debate if anyone in the world actually prefers Jim Davidson to a disembodied AI voice. We are back March 2nd for season 14! This time the theme is "Identity" Would you like to see the full lineup for season 14?

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, feeling grief and anger outrage, all the things and don't know what to do about it? Don't know what action to take? Well, I invited my friend, Keith Giles on the show today to help explain some of what's going on from a theological perspective and to help us get less confused, more centered, more clear.

HIIIII MY LOVE:) I feel like if you are meant to listen into an episode with THIS type of title, then this message is for you. LET'S BE REAL...we all go through seasons and chapters where we question if we are doing the "right" thing or on the "right" path. TBH boo, I've been there MORE THAN ONCE. But if you are in that season right now, please know that you are not alone and THIS is part of the process :) I talk about times where I've questioned my path and how I have and STILL am navigating those doubts. I hope this episode reminds you that you will FIGURE IT OUT and there is a future version of you that NEEDS you to KEEP GOING. I'm cheering you on.Love, Randi @randi.paulos

In this episode, Jimmy covers the recent tense congressional exchange in which Rep. Thomas Massie challenged Attorney General Pam Bondi over redactions in newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents, accusing the DOJ of protecting alleged co-conspirators while previously exposing victim names. Follow-up segments include Rep.

In this deeply honest and wide-ranging crossover episode, Anna sits down with Zack Arnold — award-winning Hollywood editor (Cobra Kai, Burn Notice, Glee), creator of the Optimize Yourself program, and now host of The Zack Arnold Podcast — to talk about what REALLY happens behind the scenes of a life pivot.Together, they explore the messy middle of reinvention: income dips, identity crises, disappearing industries, burnout, fear spirals, and the slow rebuilding of confidence and clarity. Both Anna and Zack share what caused them to walk away from long-held identities, how they each discovered they were “optimizing the wrong thing,” and the small, compassionate actions that helped them get unstuck.This episode is a balm if you're currently:Questioning your career pathStaring at an uncertain futureTrying to force yourself down a path that no longer fitsFeeling behind, frozen, or overwhelmedOr sensing a pivot is coming but terrified to beginZack also shares powerful stories from his coaching clients — including one who went from panic and paralysis to choosing a whole new creative direction — and Anna talks about using her Melt-Through Method journaling practice to move through the fear of her own recent pivot.In this episode, we explore:What it feels like when life kicks you into a pivot before you're readyWhy “waiting for things to go back to normal” keeps you stuckHow to know when your brand (or identity) no longer fitsThe difference between overhauling your life vs. finding the next right experimentWhat happens to your nervous system during change — and how to support itWhy connection beats problem-solving when you're spinningThe power of micro-actions when motivation is goneHow to create safety during a pivot instead of forcing yourself to “push through”Practical stories of people choosing a new direction — even in a collapsing industryConnect with Zack ArnoldPodcast: The Zack Arnold PodcastSubstack newsletter: (search “Zack Arnold” on Substack)Coaching, courses, and The Arnold Academy: https://thearnoldacademy.comConnect with AnnaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_holtzman/Website: https://www.annaholtzman.com/Free workshop — Let Yourself Be Seen: https://www.annaholtzman.com/beseen

What happens when curiosity meets uncertainty...live? In this inaugural episode of Ask The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen step out from behind the edit button and into real-time conversation, answering viewer questions about spirituality, consciousness, relationships, doubt, and everything in between. This episode matters now because more people are questioning old assumptions about spiritual awakening, but don't want dogma, gurus, or tidy answers that collapse under scrutiny.Episode Overview This is the first episode in a new monthly live series, Ask The Skeptic Metaphysicians, streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and New Reality TV. Every second Tuesday of the month, Will and Karen go live to answer questions directly from the community—ranging from deeply personal (“How did you two meet?”) to existential (“Why does growth feel so messy?”). In this kickoff conversation, they explore what five years of podcasting about consciousness, metaphysics, and modern spirituality have actually taught them, especially the parts that don't fit neatly into spiritual soundbites. The result is a candid, sometimes playful, sometimes challenging discussion that treats uncertainty as a feature, not a flaw.Key Insights & TakeawaysSpiritual growth isn't linear: Progress looks less like a straight path and more like a spiral, trampoline, or series of returns, with shorter lows and deeper perspective over time.Messiness isn't failure: Confusion, doubt, and emotional swings aren't signs you're doing spirituality “wrong”; they're often part of the process.Mainstream people are having non-mainstream experiences: Doctors, accountants, tech workers—spiritual curiosity is far more common than people admit out loud.Content consumption isn't transformation: Watching videos or listening to podcasts doesn't automatically equal growth; discernment and integration still matter.Questioning doesn't cancel intuition: Doubt and intuition can coexist—and often should—especially in modern spirituality.Why This Conversation Is Different There's no pitch, no promise of enlightenment, and no claim that one path fits all. Will and Karen openly disagree, challenge each other's assumptions, and acknowledge what they don't know. That includes questioning spiritual hierarchies, resisting “my way is the only way” thinking, and calling out spiritual bypassing when it shows up. This episode models what skeptical, grounded exploration of manifestation, soul purpose, and consciousness can actually sound like, without abandoning reason or wonder. A Note for the Listener You're allowed to explore without committing to belief. Curiosity does not make you naïve. Skepticism does not make you closed. This space exists precisely for people who live in the middle.Join Us Live Next Time This is just the beginning. Ask The Skeptic Metaphysicians happens live every second Tuesday of the month, and your questions help shape the conversation. Tune in, bring your curiosity, and ask the questions you've been holding back.

It's bad thinking.In this episode, I'm challenging the status quo Christian mindset that has kept men passive, weak, and blaming God for things He never authored.If you believe: – “Everything happens for a reason.” – “God must want my marriage struggling.” – “Sickness is just part of His plan.”Then you've inherited a belief system that might be choking your victory.David didn't think like the rest of the army. Jesus didn't think like the Pharisees. And you cannot think like the crowd if you want breakthrough.⚔️ Get the book that reboots your identity: DNA of a Man → https://go.manwarriorking.com/dna-2025

In this episode, we explore real experiences that went far beyond “spiritual healing”: encounters with predatory spirits, looping insanity, shapeshifting shamans, and the terrifying aftermath that left people questioning their sanity, their safety, and their place in the world. These aren't your typical retreat stories. These are the ones nobody wants to talk about.From clown phobia turned hellscape to Tetris-brain thought loops, Tim Burton creatures crawling from the void, and a chilling cultural warning about who Ayahuasca may truly be meant for—these firsthand accounts paint a picture of a medicine that can heal… or completely unravel you. If you're fascinated by psychedelic horror, spiritual misfires, and mind-bending supernatural encounters, this episode pulls back the curtain on the shadow realm of Ayahuasca.We'll see you on the inside..TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Bad Trips: The Dark Side of Ayahuasca…1:00 - Intro Music1:58 - Welcome In, Fellow Weirdos2:34 - Christian's Hawaiian Baseball Coach Story For The 400th Time6:41 - Join The Memberships Page So We can Afford a New Computer7:16 - BAD TRIP: It's a No From Me, Boss.11:30 - Christian Mocks Our Stories Author13:30 - Stay on the Resort if You Look Like Scott14:00 - Christian Mansplains Criminal Behavior..17:51 - BAD TRIP: Thought I Wasn't Coming Back..21:21 - Christian Acts Triggered By The "R" Word24:15 - Bring Out The Ol' Soapbox, C.27:00 - The Number of Creepy Clown Trips is Wild30:03 - Scott's Melatonin Dreams Unlock at 250,000 Subs31:40 - Butterscotch Gang Intermission32:58 - Otamatone Rave Song Fail33:43 - BAD TRIP: Darkness Eternal: A Timeline43:17 - BAD TRIP: A Warning For Whitey45:04 - Christian Admits to LOVING Racism?

In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom dig into the Washington State pension system's heavy exposure to private equity, sparked by Jason Zweig's Wall Street Journal reporting and a Seattle Times investigation. They explain why high fees, opaque valuations, and lack of liquidity make private equity especially dangerous for public retirement funds—and why Washington leads the nation in risk. The conversation expands to compare pension strategies across states, question governance and oversight, and warn retirees about the real-world consequences of excessive risk. Later, the hosts respond to a listener trapped in a high-fee, actively managed portfolio and variable annuity, illustrating how costs and complexity quietly erode wealth. The show wraps with practical retirement guidance inspired by Warren Buffett—simplify and protect—plus a discussion of converting mutual funds to ETFs for greater efficiency. 0:04 Show open, call-in invitation, and setup on private equity 0:32 Jason Zweig's WSJ reporting on private equity fees and markups 1:25 Washington State pension's heavy private equity exposure 3:23 Valuation and liquidity problems in private equity 4:35 Breakdown of WA pension assets (private equity + real estate) 5:18 Risks of market downturns and illiquidity 6:25 Who's overseeing the pension fund and their qualifications 7:06 Concerns for Washington retirees and contributors 8:28 Board “experts” and potential conflicts of interest 9:55 Difficulty exiting private equity investments 11:06 Questioning reported 12.3% returns vs public markets 11:59 Call for political accountability and reform 12:50 Comparison to states using mostly public index funds 13:35 Why private equity suffers most in downturns 14:22 Comparison of pension private equity exposure by state 15:58 Rebalancing and “emperor's clothes” concern 17:07 Caller Luke reacts to pension risks 18:11 Promotion of RetireMeet and retirement education 19:22 Warren Buffett's retirement advice: simplify and protect 20:28 Risk reduction and advisor role in retirement 21:26 Fiduciary standards and conflicts of interest 22:55 Emphasis on simple, protective portfolios 23:07 Caller Jane asks about high advisory fees 24:40 Discussion of “active management” risks 26:12 Review of proposed funds and red flags 29:57 Analysis of high-fee, high-turnover portfolio 30:57 Concentration and volatility concerns 32:16 Variable annuity warning signs 33:37 Commission conflicts and surrender charges 33:57 Recommendation to change advisors 34:56 Recap of excessive fees and risks 36:33 Importance of honest warnings vs future losses 37:48 Question on converting Vanguard mutual funds to ETFs 38:52 Advantages of ETFs: cost, tax efficiency, liquidity Learn more about your ad choices.

“I'm going to be the best basketball player I can ever be and I'm also going to be the best father that I can ever be.” Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for a raw, wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond the headlines and boxscore. Tatum opens up about battling through injury, the moment he nearly walked away from the game, and the mental toll that comes with carrying expectations at the highest level. Recently returning to the court for rehab and light work, the 6x time NBA All Star and World Champion opens up on how the last year has been the toughest in his life, admitting self-doubt, questioning his will to heal and contemplating his return this season. Winning a title with Celtics etched his name in Boston royalty, although the high expectations still move him to chase the legends who've come before him while his focus remains on getting back to a championship. Jayson was upfront about working through past growing pains with Jaylen Brown, the pressures of being a face of the NBA and the three words Joe Mazzulla whispered to him during the biggest moments of their Championship run. A self-proclaimed mama's boy, he shares a deep understanding of sacrifice, hard work and how growing up with little motivated him being raised by a single mom but candidly he opens up on why he values the relationship with his father differently but still a bond he appreciates. With the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's passing, Jayson Tatum reveals how he was inspired by the icon and modeled his life based on certain experiences and explains why he is completely appalled with anyone questioning Kobe's contributions to the game. He reflects on representing Team USA in 2024 on the Olympic stage, what that experience taught him, his true in-the-moment feelings with Steve Kerr and how it reshaped his perspective as a leader but also as a man. From embracing the weight of Boston's historic legacy to navigating fatherhood while still chasing greatness, Tatum shares how his humble beginnings continue to ground him. Honest, reflective, and powerful—this is Jayson Tatum like you've never heard him before.
