Podcasts about Quiet

Introverts are underrated. So says Susan Cain in her conversation with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about her book, Quiet. She explains why introversion isn't the same thing as shyness and she speaks of the many benefits of solitude and silent contemplation. They also discuss why modern schools and workplaces' obsession with extroversion is problematic, and the reasons for the shift from a culture of character to our current culture of personality. Cain concludes by sharing how the book has changed her own life and helped other introverts navigate a world that can't seem to stop talking.

This conversation started not because I think social media or the internet is the enemy— that would be a little crazy considering you are reading this on an app and you most likely heard about it through social media. I am SO GRATEFUL for the gift of the online space, the community it provides, the resources it has illuminated, and the ability to connect with others in the most unique ways.However, I started to notice that I was literally scrolling at night and I could not even tell you what I saw. I was numbing out and I knew it, and yet I kept doing it.I noticed how tired my mind felt even when my body was still. How easily my attention scattered. How quickly I moved from one thing to the next without really being in any of it. Nothing dramatic. Just subtle. Quiet.

Accepting the Day You're Given | Interior Peace for the Catholic Mom Part of having real interior peace as a Catholic mom comes from accepting your day the way it actually is — not the way you planned it. You wake up with a picture in your mind: Quiet morning prayer Kids waking at reasonable times Smooth breakfast Shoes on, backpacks packed Maybe even a little cleaning done And then… A child wakes up at 5:15. Someone is sick. Shoes are missing. A glass of juice shatters on the floor as you're trying to get out the door. Now you have two choices. You can resist: "This shouldn't be happening." Or you can receive: "Alright, Lord… I guess this is what we're doing now." In this episode, we talk about: Why resisting reality drains your energy How the thought "this shouldn't be happening" creates tightness and stress in your body The Marian posture of receptivity What "fiat" looks like in everyday mom life How accepting the moment actually makes you a better problem solver Why receiving your day gives you more energy than fighting it This isn't about being passive. It isn't about being a doormat. It's about living the feminine genius — receiving what God allows, then asking: "How do You want me to show up right now?" Interior peace begins when we stop arguing with reality. You are not behind. You are not failing. You are being invited into deeper surrender.

In this powerful new episode of *Set Lusting Bruce*, host Jesse Jackson welcomes back author **Ann Abel**, whose memoir *High Hopes* Jesse calls one of his favorite reads of 2025. Abel—who discovered Bruce Springsteen at age 59—shares the extraordinary story behind her book: how a lifetime of severe depression, the loss of her teaching career, and a desperate need for structure pushed her to book a solo trip to Australia for **eight Springsteen shows across five cities in 26 days**. What began as an escape from “the abyss” became a journey of fear, resilience, connection, and unexpected joy. https://anneabelauthor.com/high-hopes/ Ann recounts: - **Battling self‑doubt and loneliness** while navigating a foreign country alone - A terrifying night stranded after the Hunter Valley show when her driver vanished and her flip phone died - Quiet, intimate moments of being “invisible” in hotel lobbies near E Street Band members - Meeting Bruce's longtime manager **Barbara Carr**, the conversations that followed, and the fundraiser where Ann won a silent auction to **co‑host SiriusXM's E Street Radio with Dave Marsh** - The months of intense rock‑history study she undertook to prepare—and the unforgettable on‑air moment when she corrected a punk‑rock attribution - How storytelling open mics and winning a **Moth StorySLAM** helped her break through writer's block and finally write *High Hopes* - Seeing the Springsteen movie and feeling deeply validated hearing Bruce speak openly about struggle - The concert moments that changed her life, including “Dream Baby Dream” and Bruce's reminder that “It's all right to have a good time” Ann also talks about her recent **TEDx talk**, her unexpected rise as a late‑in‑life social‑media creator with **750,000 followers and multiple viral videos**, her upcoming travels, and the joy of becoming a grandparent. She closes by sharing where listeners can follow her work online. This is an episode about music, survival, reinvention, and the way Bruce Springsteen's art can crack open a life at any age.

Heavenly Father,Through this sacred season of Lent, draw me closer to You each day. Quiet my heart so I may recognize Your presence in every moment. Shape me with humility, compassion, and perseverance,and strengthen my desire to walk faithfully in Your ways.Teach me to listen more deeply - to Your voice within me and to the needs of those around me. When my days feel heavy or hurried, be my refuge and my rest. Help me to respond with mercy rather than judgment, and to reflect Your love in all I do. Guide my steps and remind me that in every challenge and every blessing, You are near. Amen.

Tara and guest Rev. Ellen Corcella—author of "Walk With Me: A Journey Through the Landscape of Trauma" and host of Faith and Resilience Podcast—talk about resilience during Lent and in everyday life. They discuss resilience as both internal and beyond oneself, rooted in meaning-making, adaptability, and connection rather than individualism. Tara shares her evolving definition of theopoetics as creative engagement with God in community, and reflects on Julian of Norwich's hazelnut vision—God made it, loves it, and keeps it—as a grounding way to notice “thin spaces” of the sacred in ordinary moments. Tara describes practices like Lectio Divina and Visio Divina, using scripture, art, doodling, and poetry for contemplation, and reads her poem “Thin Space Day,” which locates pilgrimage-like holiness in daily routines (carpool, mailbox walks, lunchtime, coffee, commutes). The conversation connects thin spaces to Lent's wilderness metaphor, emphasizes God's presence in both mountaintops and valleys, and reframes “all manner of things be well” (AMOT) as holding both consolation and desolation. Ellen shares where to find her book, podcast and website (www.ellencorcella.com).Send Tara a Text MessageJoin Tara for Worship on Sunday morning at 10 am.

Nick and Jonathan talk about the news coming out of the NFL Combine, and what it signals for the rest of the offseason.

Welcome to the Live for More Podcast from River Oak Church in Chesapeake, Virginia. In this episode, Pastor Zach sits down with Pastor Eric to talk about two things many believers want help with:- How to study the Bible faithfully- How to teach it clearly—at home, in a group, or in the churchPastor Eric walks through his real sermon preparation process—how he studies verse-by-verse, identifies themes, builds a clear outline, and then connects the text to real life in Chesapeake in 2026. You'll also hear practical recommendations for tools like study Bibles, Blue Letter Bible, Bible Hub, trusted commentaries, and why you should avoid jumping to commentaries first.This conversation also models how to read Scripture with context and apply it without twisting it—using Mark 15 (Jesus' trial and Barabbas) as a case study. We talk about the danger of comfort, the fear of man, the temptation to “satisfy the crowd,” and how the innocence of Jesus exposes the darkness in every human heart.If you're a parent, small group leader, student, or new believer who wants to grow in Bible confidence—this episode is for you.

What if the real battle isn't choosing the right path—but staying on it once the ground shakes? We take a hard look at Zachor and the charge to remember Amalek, not as ancient trivia but as a living pattern: predators circle when conviction thins. The thread winds through Shekalim, Parah, and Hachodesh, yet lands here with urgency—miss even a word of this reading, say the sages, and you miss the heartbeat of the mitzvah.We connect the dots the Torah lays out: Amalek appears right after the people wonder, “Is God among us or not?” That same unease surfaces in Devarim, where the law about honest weights sits beside the command to remember. Why? Because cheating at the scale is theology in disguise; it says tomorrow's bread requires my deceit. From Rafidim's laxity to the Ramban's portrait of anxious believers at the sea, the pattern holds—doubt is not ignorance, it's the erosion that starts after you already know the truth.So we make it practical. Faith becomes a craft: choose with clarity, then refuse the daily re-vote on your values. Keep clean measures to declare trust in enough. When the work of building a holy home feels uphill, read “hard” as a sign of meaning, not a signal to quit. Quiet the panic, steady your breath, and act on what you know is right. That is how you drain the blood from the water and keep the sharks away.If this conversation helped you name where doubt sneaks in—and how to push back with conviction—subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs resolve today, and leave a review with the one place you're choosing to stay the course.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

Sparked by viral “last time” videos and her son turning nine, she explores why even beautiful, wanted growth can ache — how every new stage quietly means letting go of another.

A new Institute for Family Studies report (surveying nearly 24,000 parents and more than 40,000 children, including 2,600 teens) argues that modern culture quietly rewards one kind of parenting: keeping kids quiet, often by putting them in front of a screen. In this conversation, Wayne and Dr. Kathy talk honestly about the moment we all recognize, when a baby cries in a restaurant, or a kid is "being a kid" in public, and why our irritation may reveal a deeper cultural drift toward convenience over community. Then they pivot to hope: why real world practice (restaurants, church, airports, sidewalks, teams, trees, and yes, even scraped knees) is one of God's most practical tools for building resilient kids.

Send a textEveryone was told to optimize everything. Optimize your mornings. Optimize your funnel. Optimize your content. Optimize your life. And somehow, in the middle of all that “winning,” everyone got more anxious, more burned out, and more overwhelmed.In this episode of the Mike & Blaine Podcast, we dig into the quiet cultural shift happening right now: people opting out of optimization culture and rediscovering the value of building simpler businesses, calmer lives, and more intentional growth. From founders intentionally staying small, to creators caring less about algorithms, to customers gravitating toward brands that feel human again, Offline Value is becoming a real competitive advantage.We talk about why scale isn't always the goal, how “boring” businesses often outperform flashy ones, and why focus, margin, and sustainability beat growth-at-all-costs in 2026. You'll hear how this shift changes marketing strategy, hiring decisions, product design, and even what “success” looks like for independent business owners.If you've ever felt like you're supposed to be doing more, growing faster, or posting constantly—this episode might be the permission slip you didn't know you needed.Attention is expensive.

Over the coming decades, women will steward a majority of the wealth being passed from one generation to the next. For many, that responsibility will arrive suddenly—during seasons of grief, transition, or new beginnings. Yet within that shift lies a remarkable opportunity for wise and faithful stewardship. Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors and cofounder of Women Doing Well, joins us on today's show to share what she has learned after spending years studying this moment and walking alongside women as they step into it. A Quiet but Significant Shift Today, research consistently shows that women are inheriting a large portion of generational wealth. One primary reason is longevity—women often outlive their spouses by several years, placing financial responsibility squarely on their shoulders. In fact, nearly 95% of women will become the primary financial decision-maker at some point in their lives. Many step into that role unexpectedly, often while navigating grief, life transitions, or new responsibilities. The result is a profound shift happening quietly across generations—one with real implications for confidence, stewardship, and generosity. When Women Doing Well surveyed more than 7,300 Christian women—the largest study of its kind—one insight stood out: only about 6% felt confident or equipped to manage the resources God had entrusted to them. The issue wasn't a lack of desire. It was a lack of clarity, confidence, and inclusion in financial conversations. Many women had the responsibility, but not the preparation. That gap can feel overwhelming, especially when decisions arrive suddenly. Generosity Is Already There One of the most encouraging discoveries from the research was this: Christian women are already remarkably generous. They give more of their time and money than many of their peers. The desire to live generously is not something that needs to be created—it's already present. What many women want isn't simply to give more, but to give well. The opportunity is to help generosity grow from clarity and confidence rather than from fear or obligation. A strong correlation emerged between biblical understanding and generosity. The more women understood stewardship—recognizing God as the Owner and themselves as managers—the more purpose-driven their giving became. Discipleship shifts generosity from pressure to purpose. It reminds us that giving is not a test to pass, but a response to God's grace. From Overwhelm to Clarity: A Real Story One woman, whom we'll call Clara, had always given generously. But after inheriting a significant sum of money, she felt pulled in every direction—“a dab here, a little there,” without a sense of impact. Through a process of discernment and clarity, she began narrowing her giving while increasing her investment in areas aligned with her calling. Her response captured the transformation: “You've given me the freedom to say no so I can say a better yes.” Clarity didn't reduce her generosity—it deepened it. For many women, financial responsibility begins in the midst of grief. In those moments, wisdom matters. One helpful principle, often shared by trusted mentors, is this: avoid making drastic financial changes during the first year after a major loss. Decisions will need to be made, but there's rarely a need to rush. It's also vital to seek wise counsel. A trusted advisor who understands both financial realities and biblical stewardship can provide guidance, and bringing along a trusted friend or family member can offer needed perspective and emotional support. Finding Purpose Before Decisions Financial clarity often begins with personal clarity. Understanding how God has uniquely wired you—your experiences, passions, and calling—can shape how you steward resources. Many women find their generosity aligned with their life story: adoption, education, justice, poverty relief, or ministry areas where God has already been at work. Stewardship becomes more meaningful when it flows from identity and calling rather than obligation. When women gain clarity and confidence, measurable outcomes follow. Research shows that many increase both their financial giving and the time they invest in serving others. More importantly, they report greater peace, confidence, and joy. Generosity becomes a whole-life response—expressed through money, time, skills, and relationships. Generosity Without Pressure Growing in generosity doesn't mean saying yes to everything. True generosity flows from identity in Christ, not guilt or pressure. When fear or obligation drives a decision, it can be a signal to pause and pray. God is at work in many lives, raising up different stewards for different purposes. Saying no in one place often allows for a more faithful yes elsewhere. For advisors serving women in transition, relationship matters as much as expertise. Listening before leading, offering small and practical next steps, and creating an environment that feels relational—not transactional—can make all the difference. Guidance that is clear, manageable, and compassionate helps women move forward with confidence. A Word to Women Stepping Into This Role If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, know this: you are not alone. Financial wisdom grows one step at a time. God has already been at work in your life, and the resources entrusted to you have purpose. Confidence develops through learning, community, and small acts of obedience. Stewardship is not a burden to carry alone—it can become an adventure of discovering how God wants to work through you. Some women have even formed giving circles, combining resources and discernment to support causes together. What began as uncertainty became what they now call “the adventure of giving.” If you're navigating this transition or preparing for it, consider seeking guidance and community.

You can also connect with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) who can provide biblically grounded financial counsel. The shift is already happening. And with it comes a profound opportunity—not just to manage wealth, but to steward it faithfully for God's purposes. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: As I prepare to buy a $400,000–$450,000 home—planning to put about 50% down and use a 15-year mortgage—what key questions should I ask lenders to secure the best rate and terms? Our Certified Kingdom Advisor recently left his firm to start his own practice. The current firm would charge about $1,000 in account-closure fees, but has offered to lower our management fee if we stay. Should we follow our advisor to his new firm or remain where we are, especially given the fees and our desire for biblically aligned investing?

In this episode, we are talking about comparison and how it slowly convinces you that you are behind, lacking, or not enough.Comparison does not just steal joy. It distorts identity. It makes you question your pace, your progress, your body, your intelligence, and your timing. It turns someone else's path into a measuring stick for your own worth.I break down why comparison triggers self doubt so quickly, what it reveals about your internal belief system, and how constantly measuring yourself against others trains your brain to look for deficiency instead of growth.This is not about pretending you will never compare yourself again. It is about understanding why you do it and reclaiming your sense of worth so it is no longer dependent on someone else's timeline.The moment you stop measuring your life against someone else's is the moment you can actually live it.

Hey friends — this episode dropped one day late, and honestly? That feels fitting.

Hard conversations in relationships, attachment styles, anxious vs avoidant dynamics, and emotional disconnection are at the center of this week's Ask A Matchmaker. Matchmaker Maria sits down with therapist and author Colette Fehr to explain why couples fight about small things like Duolingo, texting back, or Valentine's Day flowers when the real issue is feeling unheard or unimportant. They break down how to stop people pleasing, how to say "that hurt me" clearly, and why serious conversations should never happen over text. Colette shares tools from her book The Cost of Quiet, including her emotional Mad Libs method for speaking up without pushing your partner away. They also tackle anxious and avoidant attachment patterns and whether separate bedrooms, like Keke Palmer suggested, can actually work in a healthy relationship.   ♥️JOIN MARIA'S COMMUNITY + SUBMIT A QUESTION ❓ Ready to date with intention?

Jesse Jackson welcomes back author **Ann Abel**, whose memoir *High Hopes* Jesse calls one of his favorite reads of 2025. Abel—who discovered Bruce Springsteen at age 59—shares the extraordinary story behind her book: how a lifetime of severe depression, the loss of her teaching career, and a desperate need for structure pushed her to book a solo trip to Australia for **eight Springsteen shows across five cities in 26 days**. What began as an escape from “the abyss” became a journey of fear, resilience, connection, and unexpected joy. Ann recounts: - **Battling self‑doubt and loneliness** while navigating a foreign country alone - A terrifying night stranded after the Hunter Valley show when her driver vanished and her flip phone died - Quiet, intimate moments of being “invisible” in hotel lobbies near E Street Band members - Meeting Bruce's longtime manager **Barbara Carr**, the conversations that followed, and the fundraiser where Ann won a silent auction to **co‑host SiriusXM's E Street Radio with Dave Marsh** - The months of intense rock‑history study she undertook to prepare—and the unforgettable on‑air moment when she corrected a punk‑rock attribution - How storytelling open mics and winning a **Moth StorySLAM** helped her break through writer's block and finally write *High Hopes* - Seeing the Springsteen movie and feeling deeply validated hearing Bruce speak openly about struggle - The concert moments that changed her life, including “Dream Baby Dream” and Bruce's reminder that “It's all right to have a good time” Ann also talks about her recent **TEDx talk**, her unexpected rise as a late‑in‑life social‑media creator with **750,000 followers and multiple viral videos**, her upcoming travels, and the joy of becoming a grandparent. She closes by sharing where listeners can follow her work online. This is an episode about music, survival, reinvention, and the way Bruce Springsteen's art can crack open a life at any age.

In this week's episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I'm joined by Jenn Trepeck for a conversation that many of you will find incredibly freeing:

You say you want to be a singer-songwriter. You want to share your voice, write your own songs, and be heard. So why are you still hiding? In this episode, we're talking about the quiet fear that keeps so many aspiring singer-songwriters small — the fear of being seen, of sharing unfinished work, of letting your real voice be heard. If you struggle with vocal confidence, hesitate to share your music, or feel stuck in perfectionism, this conversation is for you. We'll explore: • Why hiding feels safer than expression • How fear of being seen shows up in your singing voice • The subtle ways you may be shrinking your artistry • And how to begin building creative confidence — one small step at a time You don't need to be fearless to become an artist. You just need to be willing.
