Podcasts about Silence

The NFC Championship Game delivered exactly what it promised, as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Rams 31–27 in a thrilling matchup between division rivals. Did Sam Darnold finally silence his doubters with his performance on the biggest stage? And on the other side, who deserves the most blame for the Rams’ loss — Matthew Stafford or Sean McVay? We break down the key moments, the performances that mattered most, and share early thoughts on the upcoming Super Bowl matchup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dr. Morgan Lorio shares why declining reimbursement, policy driven efficiency measures, and consolidation are reshaping spine surgery and threatening physician autonomy. He discusses his analysis The Price of Silence, the impact on surgeons and patients, and what meaningful reform must address next.

Power doesn't come from constant engagement, it often comes from knowing when to pull back. In this episode, I explain why explaining yourself, debating, and always staying visible usually gives away leverage. The person who needs engagement the least holds the most power. Clean withdrawal is not avoidance, it's choice, and it shows control of the frame. When you can disengage without anxiety or explanation, you put yourself in a position of power. Show Notes: [02:31]#1 Engagement rewards the person who needs the interaction, the resolution, the information, the justification.   [07:01]#2 Silence forces revelation.  [14:40]#3 Walking away is a true sign of power.  [20:39] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites 3522: Silence Is A Statement 2694: The Power Of Silence 3512: The Superpower Of Detachment [Part 1 of 2] 3513: The Superpower Of Detachment [Part 2 of 2] 1781: How To Emotionally "Detach" And Still Produce Results Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught.

Have Compassion on Your Husband's Desire This is a tender topic. And for some of you, even reading this headline might make your chest tighten. Because desire can feel complicated. Painful. Loaded. Or honestly… just exhausting. And yet, this conversation matters—not to shame you, not to pressure you, but to invite you into compassion. Not obligation. Not fear. Not duty-driven compliance. Compassion rooted in God's design for marriage. The Enemy Thrives on Distraction One of the enemy's most effective strategies in marriage is not always obvious sin. It's distraction. Distance. Avoidance. Silence. When sexual intimacy is broken in a marriage—when it's infrequent, half-hearted, or consistently avoided—it quietly becomes a distraction for both spouses. Especially your husband. Not because he's weak. Not because he's demanding. But because sexual intimacy is not a small issue in his life—it is deeply connected to how God designed him. When that connection is missing, it costs him far more than you may realize. Your Husband's Desire Is Not Separate From Who He Is Your husband's sexual desire is not something he can simply turn off. It is woven into his physical design, his emotional wiring, and his sense of being wanted and chosen. When that desire is consistently rejected, it creates real pain—often silent pain. Pain that takes up mental space, affects focus, and drains confidence and steadiness. Just as hunger dominates attention when the body is not nourished, deprivation in intimacy dominates attention when a husband does not know if—or when—connection will happen again. God Did Not Design Sex to Be Optional in Marriage Scripture is clear. "Do not deprive each other." (1 Corinthians 7:5) This is not a suggestion. It is not conditional on feelings. It is not shaped by cultural norms. God designed sexual intimacy to be part of the covenant of marriage—for unity, protection, and connection. This does not mean ignoring trauma. This does not mean tolerating coercion or manipulation. This does not mean silencing wisdom or boundaries. But it does mean that long-term deprivation is outside God's design—and He does not give commands without also offering grace and a path toward healing. If Intimacy Feels Difficult, There Is a Reason If moving toward intimacy feels heavy, forced, or emotionally overwhelming, there is almost always something beneath the surface. Shame about your body. Fear of being used. Past sexual pain or trauma. Resentment that has not healed. Pressure that replaced joy. Messages that taught you sex was dangerous, dirty, or merely a duty. These blocks are real and they deserve attention. But they do not get the final word. God is not asking you to ignore your story—He is inviting you to bring it into the light where healing is possible. Intimacy Was Designed to Be Good God designed marital intimacy to be: Naked and unashamed Enjoyed, not endured Protective, not destructive A celebration of union Scripture celebrates this openly, without embarrassment. Your husband was designed to enjoy the female form, and God gave him exactly one holy place to do that: within marriage. When that place becomes closed off, the cost is deeper than most couples realize. Start Before You Feel Ready Waiting until everything feels healed often means waiting indefinitely. Freedom usually follows obedience—not the other way around. Consistency matters more than perfection. Even choosing regular, predictable intimacy—without everything feeling "fixed"—can begin to rebuild safety, quiet anxiety, and soften resistance. When intimacy is rare, it becomes a mountain. When it is steady, it becomes normal. When it is generous, it becomes life-giving. Your Marriage Was Meant to Be Missional Marriage was never designed to exist only for comfort. It was designed to strengthen both spouses for the work God has called them to do. Healthy intimacy does not distract from God's purposes—it supports them. But when intimacy is withheld, it often becomes the very distraction Scripture warns against. Your compassion has power. It can steady your husband. It can protect your marriage. It can remove a burden he may be carrying quietly. Final Encouragement If this stirred something in you—conviction, grief, resistance, or even hope—don't rush past it. That stirring matters. God does not expose something in your heart to shame you. He does it to heal you. You are not being asked to become someone else overnight. You are being invited to take one faithful step—today—toward compassion, obedience, and freedom. There is grace for the journey. There is wisdom for the next step. And there is hope—more than you may be able to see right now. You are not alone. And God is not finished here.   Blessings, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - If you want help walking through this with wisdom and care, we would love to come alongside you.

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "I was irritable and depressed all the time.  I kept thinking something was wrong with me because I couldn't stop wanting sex.  I knew my wife hated it and thought if I was a better man I could stop wanting it and live without it...[I learned] that God designed me to want sex and I was not made wrong.  I also learned I am not alone.  Many men have struggled like I have and have wives like mine. The biggest celebrations I can remember are her coming to me!  To cuddle, to sit with me, to want to be with me, to take me out. She told our daughters to move because she wanted to sit by me during movie night.  She has taken steps towards intimacy with me on her own without me pressuring her."

If you wanted to deliberately undermine the United States, could you do better than this?

Welcome to this week's episode of When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the podcast that explores how melody and lyric become a lifeline in the toughest moments.I'm your host, James Cox, and today I'm sitting down with folklaur—the soulful indie‑folk artist behind the hauntingly intimate album Leaves & Letters. Hailing from Philadelphia, Laura (who cleverly turned her English‑major love of stories into the moniker “folklaur”) invites us into the quiet spaces where her music lives—those still‑water moments that linger long after the final note fades.In our conversation we wander through Philly's vibrant but underrated live‑music scene, swap stories about cheesesteaks and creative compromises, and dig deep into the paradox of being alone to connect with a community. Folklaur shares how she balances raw emotion with lyrical storytelling, wrestles with perfectionism in the studio, and discovers that the most powerful songs are often the ones that feel imperfect.We also get a rapid‑fire “lightning round” that reveals her late‑night writing ritual, her love for silence before a track, the word she over‑uses (community), and the artists who shape her—Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, Noah Kahn, and Greasy Abrams.If you've ever felt unheard, wrestled with anxiety, or simply crave music that feels like a gentle, honest conversation, stay tuned. By the end of this episode you'll understand why Folklore believes that “music heals because it's real,” and you'll leave with a renewed sense that you matter—just as her songs intend.Press play, settle in, and let the healing power of Folklore's music speak.

Drawing from conversations with both hiring managers and top-tier candidates, Avetis unpacks the growing disconnect: why talented people are being ghosted while keyword-stuffed, AI-generated resumes get through the door—and often, no one shows up.As the founder of HIRECLOUT, Avetis offers a blunt assessment of the current system: hiring isn't broken because of AI—it's been broken for years. AI simply exposed how fragile the trust and signal layers already were. In this candid solo episode, he outlines why resumes no longer reflect real value, how signal degradation is warping candidate pools, and what needs to change for hiring to scale with integrity.From the dangers of synthetic candidates to the myth of "clean" resumes, this episode is packed with pattern recognition strategies, hard truths for founders and recruiters, and a blueprint for using AI as a tool—not a replacement—for judgment. If you're building or hiring in tech, this is essential listening.TakeawaysThe hiring process is failing both qualified candidates and frustrated hiring managers.AI didn't break hiring—it revealed how broken trust and signal layers already were.Top talent is being filtered out by systems that prioritize keywords over capability.Many resumes that look impressive on paper are either exaggerated or AI-generated.Clean, keyword-rich resumes often come from average performers—not real builders.Bulk applications and synthetic candidates are crowding out authentic applicants.Trust—not automation—will be the next real hiring moat.Hiring systems that prioritize volume over intent end up scaling noise, not quality.Companies need to refocus AI to handle speed and prep, while humans manage judgment.Silence from recruiters often reflects broken systems, not a candidate's lack of value.Founders who can't distinguish real operators from fake ones aren't ready to scale.The solution lies in a hybrid model: real interviews, verified networks, and contextual judgment.Chapters00:00 Intro: Why this solo episode matters now00:53 The hiring paradox: Both sides feel broken01:47 It's not a talent issue—it's a signal and trust breakdown02:27 The candidate opt-out: when frustration becomes exit03:15 Why AI struggles to recognize real tech and GTM careers04:40 The hiring irony: real people get ghosted, fake ones get interviews06:13 When volume replaces intent: how systems reward the wrong behavior07:04 Resume inflation and red flags recruiters often miss08:30 The model that works: AI for speed, humans for judgment09:25 Scaling incompetence: the danger of removing humans too early10:05 Trust as a competitive advantage in hiring11:10 How HIRECLOUT filters for real vs fake candidates12:30 Final thoughts: the future of hiring is human-centricResources and Links:⁠⁠https://www.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcast.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright⁠

For this week's episode, we thought it was only appropriate to cover the icy cold spaghetti western The Great Silence just released by Vinegar Syndrome's partner label Film Movement Classics.

We talk about how this relates to other spag westerns, the delightfully villainous Klaus Kinski, and a lot more.We're also drinking Saranac Brewing's Growler Hazy IPA, a 12 pack in the larger 16oz cans!Approximate timeline0:00-10:00 Intro10:00-25:00 Beer talk/Tears of the Left and Rob Schneider divorce25:00-end The Great SilenceNext up, the plan is to see Sam Raimi's Send Help

For years, she watched the same signs repeat themselves across Ontario—footprints appearing where they shouldn't, structures forming overnight, and locations that seemed to connect like a hidden corridor through parks, ravines, and public land.In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Anna, an Ontario-based Sasquatch researcher breaks her silence to describe what long-term exposure reveals that single encounters never do. Seasonal patterns. Juvenile and adult track sizes found together. X-structures placed with intent—and removed just as quickly.

1/30/26 - In our final episode, Jim and Father Stephen Imbarrato confront what may be the most critical question facing the pro-life movement today: Is the window rapidly closing for our leaders to stand unequivocally for Constitutional personhood for the preborn? With abortion embedded in law, compromise strategies dominating the political landscape, and another election cycle approaching, the pressure is mounting on figures like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis—as well as prominent pro-life leaders such as Lila Rose and Kristan Hawkins—to move beyond half-measures and publicly defend the self-evident truth that every human being is a person from conception. This conversation challenges the moral failures of incrementalism, exposes the danger of political calculation over principle, and calls Catholics and Christians to demand clarity, courage, and consistency from those who claim to lead the pro-life cause. History is being written now. Silence and delay are no longer neutral. The question remains: who will rise to meet this moment before it's too late?

Guest Bios Show Transcript The charismatic Christian world has been rocked by revelations that alleged prophet Shawn Bolz faked prophecies and sexually harassed staff—while leaders at Bethel Church knew for years and failed to warn the public. The public reckoning began with Bible teacher Mike Winger's bombshell exposé with overwhelming evidence that Bethel leaders continued to promote Bolz, despite documented misconduct. For at least six years, pastors like Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton rebuked Bolz privately, which publicly saying he was a godly and powerful minister.

How can a 22 day silent retreat at a Buddhist monastery transform trauma, mindset, and daily productivity? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with  Laurie S. Jacobson, certified health coach, motivational speaker, and author of Unexpected Awakening: 22 Days at a Buddhist Monastery Freed Me from Abuse, for a powerful conversation on transformation, resilience, and holistic productivity.  Laurie shares her raw and inspiring journey of leaving an emotionally abusive marriage at age 43 and finding unexpected refuge in a silent meditation retreat at a Buddhist monastery. What began as a one week stay stretched into 22 days due to a snowstorm and ultimately changed the course of her life. Through silence, mindfulness, Buddhist teachings, and compassionate human connection,  Laurie experienced profound shifts in awareness, self trust, and purpose. Together, Gerald and  Laurie explore how silence sharpens listening and emotional intelligence, why productivity breaks down when mental and emotional blocks go unaddressed, and how small baby steps can dissolve feelings of being stuck. They discuss habit stacking, trusting the process like a GPS rerouting, and why integrating mind, body, and spirit leads to sustainable productivity beyond rigid to-do lists and short term motivation. The conversation also dives into how meditation helps surface repressed emotions, how consistency outperforms inspiration, and why a strong why is essential for long term health, creativity, and meaningful change.  Laurie explains how habits naturally piggyback across physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions, creating momentum while preventing burnout and overwhelm. If you are interested in turning adversity into growth, building mindful habits, or redefining productivity through holistic well being, this is a must listen.   What We Discuss [00:00] Podcast introduction [02:01] Introduction to   Laurie S.

Silence in leadership is rarely intentional — but it's never neutral.In this short R@W Note episode of Relationships at Work, Russel Lolacher explores how delayed communication, hesitation, and “waiting until we know more” can unintentionally create confusion, anxiety, and cultural drift on teams.Leaders often hold back for good reasons: they want clarity, the right answer, or more information. But while leaders are thinking, teams are interpreting — filling gaps with assumptions, stories, and uncertainty.This episode reframes leadership presence as communication in progress — not perfection — and offers practical ways to lead with clarity even when decisions aren't final.Because leadership isn't about speaking last. It's about speaking when it matters most.And connect with me for more great content!

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a powerful truth in first responder culture (Amazon Affiliate): silence often feels safer than speaking up. Not talking about what you feel… Not asking for help… Not naming the weight you carry… Silence becomes a form of protection—shielding you from judgment, vulnerability, and the fear of being misunderstood. But over time, that same silence begins to isolate you from support, connection, and healing. This episode examines why silence is rewarded in law enforcement and first responder culture, how it becomes internalized, and what happens when silence becomes the default coping strategy.

Some pain does not just hurt. It reshapes how you trust, how you speak, and what you hide. In this tender episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits with author Lisa K. Raynor to explore what changes when survivors finally tell the truth. This episode is for anyone carrying trauma in silence, and for loved ones who want to support without judgment. Lisa shares how secrecy, shame, and not being believed can shape relationships and self-worth, and how small steps like writing can become a doorway to healing and helping others. About the Guest: Lisa K. Raynor is the author of Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife. She shares lived experience and reflections on survival, silence, and the non-linear path of healing. Key Takeaways: If you are not ready to share everything, start with one small safe step (journaling, a poem, a private note). Being “high-functioning” can hide deep pain; perfection is not proof you are okay. Not being believed keeps many survivors silent, so choose support carefully. Triggers can show up years later; you can “visit” dark days without living there. Shift the blame where it belongs: survivors are not responsible for what happened.

Send us a textIn this episode of Beyond This, Matilda speaks directly to the spiritual community about the cost of silence.As violence, dehumanisation, and state-sanctioned harm unfold globally — including the recent actions of ICE in the United States — many spiritual people feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure whether it's their place to speak.

This is not an episode about politics — it's about conscience, courage, and what it truly means to live your values.A grounding meditation is included to help listeners regulate fear, reconnect to inner truth, and find the steadiness required to speak from clarity rather than reactivity.Content WarningThis episode discusses state violence, death, misuse of religious belief, and systemic harm.

Road Hill House was no longer home. It was a crime scene that everyone recognised and no one could forget. The servants whispered in corners. New staff refused positions. And somewhere across England, a teenage girl carried a secret that would rattle the nation.Three-year-old Francis Saville Kent had been dead for five years, but his presence haunted everyone connected to Road Hill House. His wicker cot had been moved to the attic. His toys—the wooden rocking horse, the tin soldiers, the stuffed rabbit he couldn't sleep without—were packed away in trunks. The family attempted to erase all physical evidence of the child who had been murdered in his own home, but some things cannot be buried. This episode examines the devastating aftermath of the Road Hill House murder, tracing five years of silence, scandal, and psychological torment that led to one of the most unexpected confessions in criminal history.By early 1861, Samuel Kent had made an impossible decision: the family would abandon Road Hill House forever. The whispers, the stares, the neighbours who crossed the street to avoid them—it had become unbearable. Constance Kent, the sixteen-year-old half-sister whom Detective Inspector Whicher had accused of murder, was sent far from England. First to a French convent across the Channel, far from English newspapers. Then, in 1863, to St. Mary's Home for Religious Ladies in Brighton—a place of strict Anglo-Catholic ritual that would transform her utterly. Meanwhile, her brother William built a successful career as a marine scientist, seemingly untouched by scandal. But questions lingered. Had he been involved that June night? Was Constance protecting someone?At St. Mary's, Constance encountered Father Arthur Wagner—a charismatic Anglican priest whose theology emphasized confession and penance. Wagner's version of Christianity demanded that sins be spoken aloud, that guilt find voice, that secrets be exposed before God. For nearly two years, Constance resisted. Then, in early 1865, something broke. She requested a private meeting with Father Wagner. What she told him changed everything. On the morning of April 25, 1865, Father Wagner and Constance Kent boarded a train for London. At Bow Street police station, she dictated a written confession to the murder of Francis Saville Kent. She provided details that matched evidence Inspector Whicher had gathered five years earlier—details only the killer could have known. Headlines screamed across England: ROAD HILL HOUSE MURDERESS CONFESSES.The Road Hill House case became a watershed moment in British criminal justice and religious history. Constance Kent's confession raised profound questions about the intersection of faith and law. Had Father Wagner provided genuine spiritual guidance, or had he manipulated a vulnerable young woman? The Anglo-Catholic confession practices at St. Mary's drew intense scrutiny. Victorian society, which had destroyed Inspector Whicher's career for daring to accuse a "young lady of breeding," now had to confront its own prejudices. The detective had been right all along—class bias had protected a murderer for five years. Constance's case also highlighted emerging Victorian understanding of psychological trauma. Her childhood losses—mother's death, father's remarriage to the governess, blatant favouritism toward the second family—would today be recognized as severe emotional abuse.What remains unexplained is why Constance confessed after five years of freedom. The investigation was closed. The world had moved on. She could have stayed silent forever. Some historians argue the confession was genuine religious transformation—Wagner's theology finally breaking through her defences. Others suggest coercion—a priest manipulating a vulnerable woman consumed by guilt. A third theory persists: that Constance was protecting her brother William, who may have been involved that night in June 1860. Her confession mentioned resentment but offered no specific. Listeners fascinated by Victorian detective work should explore Episode 2 of this series, which details Inspector Whicher's revolutionary investigation methods. For more cases involving religious confession and criminal justice, Foul Play's archives include coverage of other nineteenth-century crimes where faith and law intersected in unexpected ways.Next episode: The trial lasted thirty minutes. The death sentence wasn't carried out. And England's most notorious murderess would live to be one hundred years old under a completely different name. Episode 4 reveals the extraordinary aftermath of Constance Kent's confession.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
