Podcasts about seeking

In this episode, I break down what makes a man low value and why this is a warning, not an insult. There are more ways to fail than to succeed, and most men end up low value simply by drifting and not being intentional. This isn't about money, looks, or followers—it's about your energy, discipline, and standards. Low value men chase, overexplain, and move without direction, often without even realizing it. I'm laying this out so you can check yourself, build awareness, and make sure you don't slide into habits that hold you back. Show Notes: [07:27]#1 Seeking validation instead of giving direction. [13:06]#2 Low value men do not enforce boundaries on themselves nor on others.  [22:17]#3 Low value Men spend their energy explaining why they are not winning.

Without intending to, we often put pressure on ourselves from trying too hard and seeking to achieve goals that may be unreasonable, which amounts to doing more and more and becoming increasingly frustrated.  Many "accomplished" people live on the edge of exhaustion and get no joy from what they do.  If we turn in the direction we want to go, and then quiet our minds and listen for our own wisdom, we'll see what to do, at what pace, and we'll enjoy the journey as much as appreciating the destination.Support the show

When the world's leading voice in human-centered privacy joins forces with the high-octane energy of Ash Brown, the result is an eye-opening deep dive into the digital frontier. Ash Brown welcomes Ken Griggs, the Emmy award-winning technologist and CEO of Julia Social, for a timely conversation about the UK government's proposed nationwide digital ID system and its global implications. The Big Debate: Security vs. Surveillance Ken Griggs brings decades of expertise in blockchain technology and cryptography to dissect what a centralized digital ID truly means for the average citizen. While governments pitch these systems as a convenience for accessing public services, Ken sounds the alarm on the hidden costs to personal privacy and data autonomy. In this captivating episode, Ash and Ken explore: The Centralization Trap: Why storing the identity of an entire nation in a single database creates a high-risk honey pot for hackers and state actors. The Julia Social Vision: How Ken's work with Julia Social advocates for a decentralized identity approach, where individuals—not institutions—own and control their own data. The UK Digital ID Ripple Effect: Why the global community should watch these legislative moves closely, as they could set a groundbreaking or dangerous precedent for digital rights worldwide. Turning Tech Insight into Real-World Action Ash Brown's signature Authentic Optimism keeps the conversation grounded as Ken provides actionable insights on how listeners can protect their digital footprints today. From understanding the mechanics of Not.Bot to the security power of the Chia blockchain, this interview bridges the gap between complex tech and everyday life. Seeking a masterclass in the future of privacy? This episode of The Ash Said It Show is essential listening for anyone who values their digital freedom.

Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageHave you been craving awakening? Waiting for the moment when everything finally softens, the mind gets quiet, the heart opens, and you can finally stop searching?In this awakening now episode, I sit with Won Bo, a Lithuanian nun living in Korea. From the very first minute, something in her presence invites you to slow down, soften, and see what's already here. Nothing dramatic. Nothing mystical. Just truth, lived by someone who has dedicated her whole life to clarity.We explore the ordinary moments seekers overlook, the craving that hides beneath “spiritual progress,” the tenderness of glimpses that fade, and the simplicity of Zen's most direct practice: What am I?Not to find an answer… but to fall back into don't-know, the space where awakening unfolds by itself.If you've ever felt “not enough,” or wondered why awakening feels distant even after years of seeking, this conversation may feel like a quiet homecoming.WHAT WE EXPLORE TOGETHER• Why she chose the monastic path  and what actually surprised her• A clear, gentle definition of awakening that removes pressure• How the Three Poisons silently guide your daily reactions• The subtle trap of craving awakening (and how to recognize it)• Why glimpses fade and why that isn't a failure• A practice you can use at any moment of your day• How “don't-know” becomes a lived, spacious way of beingIf you want to explore this more deeply, I created a short guide called Introduction to Deep Looking. It's a gentle way to meet what's here and begin unwinding the tension underneath seeking.

No Sundays, no saints, no salvation. As dechristianisation exploded in the capital, radical revolutionaries closed churches, forced abdications, and turned Notre-Dame into a Temple of Reason. Seeking to replace past errors with enlightenment values, the Cult of Reason was established with mixed success. This episode explores the dramatic escalation of dechristianisation, including the creation of the Cult of Reason. It also examines Bishop Gobel's resignation, and how marriages, abdications, and the cult itself varied across the nation. Revolutionary France Tour Join the waitlist here!

Spending time with Karen Wickerson feels like opening a quiet doorway into the wisdom of the animals who walk beside us. Karen is an animal telepath, a former clinical counselor, and the author of Listen to Your Animals: They Know More Than You Think. Her connection to animals began when she was three years old and realized she could communicate with them. As she grew older, she learned to silence that gift because the people around her didn't understand it, until her soul eventually pulled her back toward the work she was meant to do.Karen shares how she reached a point in her counseling career where she knew she was “about to hit the wall” and feared she might make a severe mistake with a family. That moment pushed her to plan her exit and step toward a life that aligned with her true calling. It led her to a trek to Mount Everest base camp with asthma and only 70 percent lung capacity, a journey that taught her the power of moving forward even half an inch at a time.We explore how she connects with animals across distance, how she reads their unique energy signatures, and what she has learned about their emotional worlds. Karen describes what really happens when animals cross over and how they often explain it as simply taking off a coat they no longer need. She also shares stories about grief, soul agreements, and the ways animals guide their humans through important life decisions.Karen's work is a reminder that our animals are not just pets. They are teachers, companions, and wise, sentient beings who understand far more than we often realize.Key Reflections• Animals communicate through energy, emotion and intention.• Our relationships with them are true partnerships that often stretch across lifetimes.• When an animal passes, its essence remains connected to us.• The choices we make at the end of their life are guided and never wrong.Links and ResourcesKaren's website: https://karenwickerson.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenwickersonanimaltelepath/Karen's Book: Send us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

Seeking the opportunity for work, Home Depot parking lots are often a gathering place for immigrants who hope to get chosen by a contractor for work and wait long hours in the elements without a promise for any job.

A season of reflection led us back into years of past conversations, where unexpected threads began to intertwine. In this episode, we bring those threads into conversation with each other—voices like Makoto Fujimura, Praveen Sethupathy, Krista Tippett, Mike McHargue, and Bill Newsome—to explore how both science and faith gesture toward wholeness in a world marked by fracture. Themes of mending, spiritual hunger, rest, and stubborn hope surface anew as these earlier moments speak to one another in ways we couldn't have anticipated at the time. What emerges is less a retrospective and more a fresh way of seeing: an invitation to notice the cracks, name them honestly, and discern the gold that might do the work of mending. Clips from this episode are from: Makoto Fujimura, Episode 110, 2022 Praveen Sethupathy, Episode 120, 2022 Krista Tippett, Episode 15, 2019 Mike McHargue, Episode 24, 2019 Bill Newsome, Episode 77, 2021

Family physician and writer Dr. Mara Gordon interviews psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Reid about her new book Guilt Free (releasing January, 27, 2026). The conversation explores why women experience disproportionate guilt, how to distinguish toxic from adaptive guilt, and practical strategies for managing guilt—especially during the holidays.The Guilt EquationDr. Reid breaks down guilt into a simple formula: Guilt = Expectations - Perceived Reality“Guilt is the difference between our expectations of ourselves, which are created by many things, the difference between that and how well we feel like we're meeting them.”The problem? Women often set impossibly high expectations while minimizing what they're actually accomplishing.Holiday GuiltDecember amplifies guilt because of:* Cultural expectations about creating “perfect” experiences* Pressure to control others' emotions* Comparison (social media, consumer-driven ideals)* Ambivalence about events we “should” enjoy“There's a lot of guilt around the sense of I should be feeling a certain way. I should be making sure others are feeling a certain way around this situation... And these expectations, which as we'll talk about are such a huge part of guilt, can really explode then.” Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own!

Seeking political retribution is far different than prosecuting a winning case, as the Trump administration is coming to understand. Mary and Andrew begin here after a grand jury, once again, refused to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James. This comes along with a ruling limiting what evidence could be used in the case against James Comey if the government seeks to re-bring that case. The co-hosts also tee up what may come from Jack Smith's closed-door deposition in front of the House Judiciary Committee, before turning to the latest in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia saga, after Judge Paula Xinis ordered his release. Last up, Mary and Andrew head to the West coast for an update on the National Guard deployment in L.A., and offer some analysis on Judge Bybee's statement on 9th Circuit en banc review over deploying the National Guard to Portland, Oregon.Further Reading: Here is Judge Xinis' opinion regarding the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.  Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

Will Kennedy and Isiah Gray are members of Brothaz in the Foyer, a group that produces content to represent and share the experiences of Black members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are part of a larger group of hosts for the Brothaz in the Foyer Podcast, and their goal is to bring people “from the foyer into the chapel.” This conversation explores their personal journeys, the dynamics of race within the Church, and the importance of fostering understanding and inclusivity. Links YouTube: @brothazinthefoyer Instagram: @brothazinthefoyer TikTok: @brothazinthefoyer Paul Reeve books Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Key Insights Experiences in the Temple: Will and Isiah share how their experiences as Black men in the temple often draw attention, highlighting the need for normalization of diverse representation within sacred spaces. Cultural Differences: The hosts discuss how their backgrounds influence their experiences in the Church, noting that cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings and the need for open dialogue. Reconciliation with Church History: Both emphasize the importance of understanding the Church’s history regarding race, including the priesthood ban, and how this knowledge can strengthen faith rather than diminish it. Empathy and Genuine Interaction: They stress the importance of treating all individuals as children of God and engaging in genuine conversations to bridge cultural gaps, rather than making interactions feel forced or awkward. Political Climate and Faith: The discussion touches on the politicization of race and the need for members to prioritize their faith and love for others over political affiliations, promoting unity within the Church. Leadership Applications Foster Open Dialogue: Leaders should create environments where members feel comfortable discussing sensitive topics related to race and culture, encouraging transparency and understanding. Educate on Church History: Leaders can benefit from familiarizing themselves with resources like Paul Reeve’s book on race in the priesthood to better address historical issues and foster inclusivity. Encourage Representation: Leaders should seek diverse voices in leadership roles and callings, recognizing that representation can enhance the community’s strength and unity, while also being mindful not to tokenize individuals based on race.

After the tragic death of his son, Jordan, the author embarked on a journey for ways to communicate with his son across the veil. He discovered not only successful methods to connect with lost loved ones but also profound truths about the afterlife, the illusion of loss, and how pain is integral to our life purpose.McKay recounts techniques he tried in order to connect with his son, including collecting unusual experiences from family and friends, consulting mediums such as Austyn Wells, undergoing past-life and between-life regressions, engaging in a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and using channeled writing, which he learned with the help of psychologist Ralph Metzner.The culmination of hundreds of channeled conversations with his son, the author presents revelations about the soul's life after death, the structure and key events of the afterlife, how karma works, why we incarnate, our future as souls, and how to love in the face of pain. As Jordan reveals, nothing is truly lost. The soul is constant and, while pain seems to damage us, the damage is an illusion. Because, as Jordan says, “there is no end; the conversation goes on . . . between all the souls who love each other, living and dead.”Matthew McKay, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, professor of psychology at the Wright Institute, cofounder of Haight Ashbury Psychological Services, founder of the Berkeley CBT Clinic, and cofounder of the Bay Area Trauma Recovery Clinic, which serves low-income clients.

Helen Holden Slottje embodies the journey from reformist hope to revolutionary clarity. Once seated at the "Master's table" as a Harvard-educated "Big Law" attorney, she has first hand experience of the truth:  the tools of the system cannot dismantle it. Her trajectory—from corporate corridors to achieving New York's "impossible" statewide fracking ban —demonstrates the necessity not of reform but rupture, not of inclusion but the creation of entirely new forms of relationship.As founder of the Regenerative Law Institute, Helen doesn't help organizations achieve "sustainability tweaks" or better seats at existing tables. She guides the phase-shift from seeking permission to building autonomous power. Her Goldman Environmental Prize (the "Green Nobel") came not for working within the system but for revealing its fundamental illegitimacy.The fracking victory wasn't about better regulations—it was a generative refusal. By creating novel legal frameworks that made extraction literally impossible rather than merely regulated, Helen demonstrated proves that pressure doesn't need management but transformation into quantum leaps that exceed capture. Helen embodies her own thesis: liberation requires not better seats at the Master's tables but the courage to build new worlds where measurement gives way to meaning, where the impossible becomes inevitable.

New details about the dogsitter Dr. Naomi hired have emerged, and she and Jordana dissect all the information to try and paint a picture of the woman who stayed in Dr. Naomi's house for a few days. A corporate Betch is feeling burned by a work friend after learning about her departure from a company-wide email, and she wonders if it's worth maintaining the friendship. Seeking some validation, a listener who is quickly falling hard for her new partner wonders if his insistence on only saying “I love you” means he isn't “in love” with her.

In part three of our Advent preaching series on December 14th, 2025, Father Joshua outlines the third and fourth thresholds of Conversion: Openness and Seeking. In the Gospel, we see Jesus questioning in the crowds, trying to help them recognize their hunger for more, and their openness to God. He does the same to us. He knows that our hearts were made for more, for the kind of love that we only find in God.

Send us a textNARRATOR (WARM, INVITING)Welcome to Celebrate Creativity and Conversations with Toys,our after-hours visit to the Metropolitan Museumof Toys and Childhood Artifacts—where the lights are low,the alarms are set,and words wait quietly on the shelves…until someone notices them.NarratorAnd we see the action figure of William Shakespeare - complete with quill - surrounded by a group of alphabet blocks. He continues to talk about his life and literary career.ShakespeareMany scholars believe that it was around this time that I wrote the comedy As You Like It with its famous all the world's a stage monologue.  By the way, the word sans in the last line of this monologue means without - as you can probably tell, much of my language was quite different from today.All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchelAnd shining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,Sighing like furnace, with a woeful balladMade to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,Seeking the bubble reputationEven in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,In fair round belly with good capon lined,With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,Full of wise saws and modern instances;And so he plays his part. The sixth age shiftsInto the lean and slippered pantaloon,With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wideFor his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,Turning again toward childish treble, pipesAnd whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,That ends this strange eventful history,Is second childishness and mere oblivion,Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

What happens when old relationship patterns collide with real-time growth?Lauren and Trey start this episode with a wild night out that sparks a raw conversation about ex partner behavior, accountability, and emotional maturity. After witnessing prank calls and performative attempts to re-enter an ex's orbit while they were on a date, Lauren names the behavior clearly. At best, it's childish. At worst, it crosses into bullying and harassment.Instead of judging from a distance, Lauren invites Trey to reflect on the times he's done versions of this himself. They explore why intent does not negate impact, how none of us were taught how to be in romantic relationships, and why grace for our younger selves is essential to growth. Trey shares two candid stories from his past, while Lauren reflects on a moment when wanting to be chosen meant not choosing herself.At the 26 minute mark, the conversation shifts as they unpack a financial change in their partnership, with Lauren stepping into the role of primary breadwinner. Trey opens up about fears around contribution, masculinity, and being left behind, while Lauren names how meaningful it is that these conversations are happening at all. They revisit the origin of Sex Ed For You, the belief that fueled it, and how old money stories can resurface even in secure relationships.Lauren closes by honoring the courage it takes to seek support and growth.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. How we look at our lives makes a big impact on the direction for our lives. We even use such illustrations in our culture to try to communicate that idea. For example, we will ask if a glass is half full or half empty. Obviously the answer is that both are true. But how you […] The post Seeking Great Things (Jeremiah 44-45) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Read OnlineAs they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Matthew 17:9a & 10The final book of the Old Testament, written by the prophet Malachi around the fifth century BC, contains a prophecy that Elijah would return to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah (see Malachi 3:23–24). The scribes used this prophecy to argue that Jesus could not be the Messiah since Elijah had not yet returned, at least not in the way they expected. This argument caused confusion in the minds of Jesus' Apostles.Just before the event in today's Gospel passage, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain where He was transfigured before them, giving them a glimpse of His heavenly glory. This experience strengthened their conviction that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. However, as they descended the mountain, they asked Jesus about Malachi's prophecy, seeking to understand how Jesus could be the Messiah if Elijah had not yet come. Jesus clarified this for them: “‘I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him…' Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist” (Matthew 17:12–13).As we grow in our faith and become convinced of Jesus' identity as the Messiah, we might also encounter what appear to be contradictions. For example, faith and science sometimes seem to conflict, even though they are ultimately harmonious. The existence of human suffering and injustice can challenge our understanding of an all-powerful, all-loving God. Moral questions can arise when we encounter differing opinions, and various other experiences might seem difficult to reconcile with the Word of God.If you find yourself facing such challenges, take inspiration from Peter, James, and John. Allow your faith to deepen through moments of prayer and personal encounters with God. Then, do not shy away from questions that arise in your mind. If something seems contradictory to your faith, seek understanding. Turn to our Lord in prayer, study the teachings of the Church, read the writings of the saints, and trust that God's Wisdom is perfect. It will clarify every apparent contradiction and dispel all confusion. Reflect today on the example of these three Apostles seeking clarity from Jesus. They asked their question with faith, not with skepticism. They did not doubt but sought understanding. Imitate them with every question that arises in your mind so that you may find interior peace and become a beacon of wisdom to others.Lord of true Wisdom, You are Truth Itself. As I grow in my faith and as my faith is challenged in daily life, help me never to doubt but to seek You all the more. Grant me the gifts of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge so that I may become ever more fervent in following You. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Nothing sucks your life away like spending your days trying to be liked by everyone you meet, everyone in the office and people all around you. Without even recognizing it, many people will not engage in many things, like speaking up…because they want to be liked by others and they think if they speak up they will not be liked. The need to be liked plagues the planet at epic proportions and it's one of the biggest things that debilitates lives. In this episode I talk about:[1:25] Why it's so important to be liked[3:02] Why people hang onto it so dearly[9:37] Why people liking you is not about you[10:44] The illusion of being liked[20:50] No matter who you are, you're not going to be liked by all[36:58] What it's costing you to seek everyone's likingAnd, much, much more… As you're going to hear in this episode, no matter what you do, at least 30% of people you meet just aren't going to like you. No matter what you do, there are some people who aren't going to like what you do, so as you can see, trying to be liked by everyone is an illusion! How about this…

They also address why men seek validation, how to handle relationship breakdowns, and what books shaped them this year. Practical, grounded, and deeply human - this episode hits every level.
