Podcasts about Solitude

Life as an entrepreneur can often feel lonely. Being a solopreneur or small business owner in the meetings and events industry is a wonderful experience. However, with all the stress and challenges entrepreneurs face, they often find themselves alone, with no one to share their wins, doubts, and fears with.  In this episode, Eric reads an excerpt from the book he is currently reading and shares some valuable tips to help entrepreneurs avoid loneliness. Digital Nomads Unlike traditional nomads who rely on each other, digital nomads often go it alone. In his book 4000 Weeks, Oliver Burkeman explains that digital nomads, despite the appealing lifestyle, can feel lonely. They travel the world but miss the shared routines that create strong relationships.  Remote Work Without casual, in-person conversations, those who work remotely miss out on spontaneous connections. So entrepreneurs need to be intentional about meeting others and making space for interaction. Build a Circle of Advisors or Join a Community One solution is to create a board of advisors for your business. They should be people you trust and respect, and those you can share authentically with about the highs and lows of your business. You can also join a community of other entrepreneurs. The key is to make it a regular habit because if it is not on your calendar, it is unlikely to happen. Reconnect With What Matters Take time to pause and reflect on what truly matters to you. Ensure your daily actions are moving your business in the right direction, and keep your long-term vision in focus to remain grounded. Stay Flexible and Open Growth requires curiosity and adaptability. As a business owner, you must be willing to try new tools, adopt new services, and explore different ways of working.  Keep Your Vision in Focus  Regularly check in with your long-term goals. Stay open to learning and be willing to embrace new tools, services, and ways of working that support that vision.

This rich, gorgeous conversation will fill your soul. The singular and beloved Joanna Macy died at home at the age of 96 on July 20, 2025. She has left an immense legacy of beauty and wisdom and courage to sustain us. A Buddhist teacher, ecological philosopher, and Rilke translator, she taught and embodied a wild love for the world. What follows is the second and final conversation Krista had with Joanna, together with Joanna's friend, psychologist and fellow Rilke translator Anita Barrows, in 2021. Joanna and Anita had just published a new translation of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. At the turn of the last tumultuous century, Rilke was prescient in realizing that the world as he'd known it was passing away. Joanna's adventurous life and vision took shape in the crucibles of the history that then unfolded. Relistening to her now is to experience a way of standing before the great, unfolding dramas of our time — ecological, political, intimate. We stand before the possibilities of what Joanna called “A Great Unraveling” or “A Great Turning” towards life-generating human society. All of this and so much more comes through in the riches of this life-giving conversation. Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be on our mailing list for all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday morning newsletter, including a heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations.Joanna Macy was the root teacher of The Work That Reconnects. Her books include Active Hope and four volumes of translated works of Rainer Maria Rilke, together with Anita Barrows: Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God;  In Praise of Mortality; and A Year with Rilke. Krista's previous "On Being” episode with her is “A Wild Love for the World.” That's also the title of a lovely book of homage to Joanna that was published in 2020. Anita Barrows's most recent poetry collection is Testimony. She is the Institute Professor of Psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, and also maintains a private practice.

Jesus often withdrew to lonely places—and so should we. This message from Nathan challenges us to meet God in solitude, not just when it's easy, but especially when we feel overwhelmed, tempted, or weak. In the quiet, God doesn't shame our weakness — He strengthens us with grace.

In this episode, Jim and Jan explore the power of doing nothing and why it might be the most strategic move a leader can make.  They begin with a discussion on Jan's Crucible® expeditions, and the consistent lesson is that you have to slow down to speed up.  For Jim, it means intentional time without distractions. For Jan, it means hiking alone in silence, letting his mind wander and connect unexpected thoughts. They share how leaders like Einstein and Da Vinci embraced doing nothing as a form of active thinking. Jim and Jan also talk about character and discipline, referencing General Stanley McChrystal's formula where character equals conviction times discipline. They explain how many people are disciplined but have never paused to ask whether their actions are aligned with their true values. They also stress that alignment is not a one-time event but a continuous process that requires regular feedback and adjustment. Jim and Jan also talk about the pressure people feel today, especially around layoffs and uncertainty. They highlight the importance of stepping back to identify the real problem before jumping into action. Jim points out that when leaders rush to act without reflecting, they waste those resources.  Jim and Jan believe leaders need a think list, not just endless to-do lists.  If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to focus next, this episode is a chance to reset.   You can find episode 468 wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube |   Key Takeaways [01:22] Jan asked Jim what he learned from his three crucibles. Jim said the biggest lesson is that “you have to unplug.” Solitude and stillness are essential for deep thinking and avoiding distractions. Jan added that you have to slow down to speed up, a principle he discovered during a hike in the snow-covered mountains. [02:29] Jan shared that doing nothing doesn't mean sitting still. His mind was racing during the hike, processing thoughts like a “1985 MTV video.” He explained that movement without distractions lets his thoughts roam freely and helps him reset mentally. He drew inspiration from Einstein, who used solitude to spark creativity. [04:04] Jan discussed General McChrystal's formula: character equals conviction times discipline. He said discipline alone is not enough if your convictions are flawed. Jim referenced a quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln: if you have six hours to cut down a tree, spend three sharpening the axe. He stressed the importance of thinking before acting.  [07:02] Jan advised leaders to keep a think list instead of a to-do list. He asked Jim how he finds time to think. Jim shared how stepping back during his entrepreneurial journey helped him recognize the right opportunity. Jim said doing nothing is about quieting your mind to open your eyes and ears. He explained that opportunities often go unnoticed when you're laser-focused or moving too fast.  [10:20] Jan said people under pressure need to “do nothing” in a productive way, like building relationships. He recalled early career advice that helped him shift from non stop work to meaningful connections. Jan reflected on how aging helped him realize what truly matters. He emphasized learning from others' mistakes to save time.  [13:56] Jim used to tell veterans to focus on themselves before helping others. He later realized that helping others while seeking support lifts your spirits and sharpens your own clarity. Jim encouraged leaders to define the problem clearly before solving it. In meetings, he suggests everyone write down what problem they think they're solving. If the team isn't aligned on the problem, they can't solve it effectively. [16:05] Jan shared a military lesson on shooting an azimuth to stay on course. He explained that even small mistakes in direction compound over time. Jim said alignment is not a one-time event but a continuous process. Jan emphasized the need for constant adaptability. Jan also noted that being “lazy” in the right way is really about being efficient with effort and resources. [23:40] Jim explained that efficiency isn't just about maximizing profit. It's about managing limited resources like time, money, warehouse space, and customer attention. Jan said energy is another limited resource that must be protected.  [25:49] Jan said leaders must care for themselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Jim closed by noting that throughout history, great leaders have stepped away to think. Those quiet periods led to their most valuable insights. If you never step back, you may never realize what you're missing. [28:45] And remember...“Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.” - May Sarton   Quotable Quotes "You have to slow down to speed up." "Some people can sit. I can't sit. My doing nothing is moving." "Character is conviction times discipline." "The pressure's on. Well, what do you think most people are going to do when they hear the pressure's on from the boss? Let's get busy, let's do something." "You should have a think list, not a to do list." "It's not about doing nothing. It's about quieting your mind so you can open your ears and your eyes to see things that were already there." "You gotta take care of yourself, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually..." "You have to schedule quiet time." "Loneliness is the poverty of self. Solitude is the richness of self." — May Sarton "Alignment isn't a static thing that happened once." "If you don't take the time and make the time to check out, you'll never understand what value you're missing."   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

Jesus often withdrew to solitary places, so that he could rest in uninterrupted communion with God. But how do we get comfortable with slow and silence? Let's practice together.

Send us a textHave you ever felt guilty about wanting to skip a holiday parade? Our conversation digs into the unspoken expectations around celebrations like July 4th and why choosing your own path is not just acceptable—it's essential for genuine happiness.The team explores how our relationship with holidays evolves throughout our lives. For some, the perfect celebration might be a quiet day at home with a beer, while others crave the energy of crowds and community events. We unpack why these preferences shift based on our life circumstances, energy levels, and personal needs, not just our age. You'll hear personal stories about college reunions, changing family traditions, and the sometimes complicated emotions holidays can trigger.After the isolation of COVID, we've all had to reconsider our social connections in new ways. Some discovered they thrived in solitude while others felt desperate for community—and holidays now amplify these differences. The episode touches on safety concerns at public gatherings but reminds listeners that community experiences, even brief ones, provide valuable energy and perspective. The most powerful takeaway? Breaking free from monotony keeps us vibrant regardless of chronological age. We're not "over the hill" unless we stop growing and trying new things.So whether you're planning an elaborate celebration or looking forward to a quiet weekend, this episode gives you permission to honor your authentic needs without judgment. As you listen, consider what would truly make this holiday meaningful for you, and remember that the perfect balance of solitude and connection might look different for everyone—and that's exactly as it should be.

Raphaël Quenard est comédien, scénariste et désormais réalisateur avec son film I Love Peru. Charles Pépin est philosophe et auteur du livre Vivre avec son passé. Cet épisode est le fruit d'une rencontre entre moi et Amaury de breakbuild que je remercie vivementDans un monde tellement polarisé, j'ai eu envie de créer des ponts entre des personnes qui ne se connaissent et que rien ne relie à priori.J'ai démandé à Raphael, un sujet qui l'intéressait particulièrement et il m'a parlé de solitude, j'ai donc décidé de le mettre face à Charles.Dans cet épisode de Vlan, j'ai réuni ces deux personnalités singulières pour parler d'un thème qui me touche profondément : la solitude. Que ce soit dans la création, l'amour ou la philosophie, la solitude nous traverse tous. Mais chacun en fait une expérience radicalement différente.Avec Raphaël, nous avons évoqué la solitude de l'artiste, celle que l'on choisit et qui devient source de puissance créative. Il revient sur le processus de création de son film, réalisé dans le chaos, le flou, et pourtant porteur d'une vérité sensible rare. Il parle aussi, avec beaucoup de sincérité, du deuil amoureux qui a nourri ce projet, de cette fracture intime qui nous laisse souvent sans voix.Charles, lui, éclaire nos échanges de sa pensée précise et lumineuse. Il nous rappelle combien la solitude est un royaume, traversé de moments sublimes et d'autres, plus sombres, où l'on doute, où l'on cherche. Il parle aussi de la solitude morale, celle face à sa conscience, et de celle du politique, seul face au réel.J'ai voulu faire de cet épisode un espace de rencontre, de réflexion, presque une parenthèse où l'on peut penser autrement notre rapport à la création, à la norme, à la marginalité. Avec humour, profondeur et parfois même une forme de poésie, Charles et Raphaël se rejoignent là où l'on ne les attendait pas toujours.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons aussi de rupture amoureuse, de docu-fiction, de la souffrance de ne pas comprendre pourquoi l'on est quitté, et de ce que cela dit de nous. J'ai partagé mon propre vécu, mon « kit de secours pour cœur brisé », et cela a nourri une conversation vraie, sans détour.Citations marquantes« La solitude, je la traque. Elle me connecte à mon cerveau reptilien. » — Raphaël Quenard« Quand tu écris, tu es seul, mais c'est parfois la plus grande des joies. » — Charles Pépin« On n'est pas éduqués à comprendre qu'il n'y a rien à comprendre. » — Raphaël Quenard« Être singulier, c'est être seul à être soi. » — Charles Pépin« L'amour, c'est la plus inestimable des drogues. Et la plus destructrice. » — Raphaël Quenard10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewQuel lien faites-vous entre solitude et processus de création ?Est-ce que la solitude est une souffrance ou une ressource pour vous ?Comment vivez-vous la reconnaissance après une période d'écriture solitaire ?Peut-on être seul même entouré ?Qu'est-ce que la notoriété change à la solitude ?Quel rôle joue la solitude dans la conscience morale ?Pourquoi avoir choisi de parler d'amour dans ce film ?Quelle est la place du deuil amoureux dans la création artistique ?Est-il possible d'être ami avec ses ex ou d'aimer sans fusionner ?La rupture amicale est-elle plus douloureuse que la rupture amoureuse ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:01 – Introduction : rencontre entre Raphaël Quenard et Charles Pépin01:00 – La solitude de l'écrivain et du créateur05:00 – Processus d'écriture, manque d'inspiration et discipline09:00 – Solitude choisie vs isolement subi12:30 – La marginalité comme puissance créative18:00 – La solitude de la célébrité22:30 – Création du film I Love Peru : chaos et docu-fiction26:30 – Le montage comme acte psychanalytique30:00 – La solitude du politique et la confrontation au réel34:00 – Le deuil amoureux, un déclencheur créatif39:00 – L'amour durable et les promesses impossibles44:00 – Fiction et documentaire : trouver le naturel dans le film46:00 – Rupture amicale : douleur silencieuse48:00 – L'amour platonique : un contresens courant50:00 – Est-il possible de désirer l'autre après 40 ans ?Distribué par Audiomeans.

There comes a point on the spiritual journey when walking alone isn't a choice—it's a calling. In this deeply vulnerable and powerful episode, Kaleah shares from her own lived experience what it means to be a woman who walks alone. Not because she's broken, unworthy, or unloved—but because her path of transformation, healing, and awakening has led her into a space where few can follow. Through reflections on solitude, the shedding of old identities, and the misunderstood silence between endings and new beginnings, Kaleah speaks to the sacred initiation of the soul. She explores the loneliness that can follow deep inner work, the grief of losing connections that no longer align, and the quiet strength that emerges when we learn to draw from our own divine well. This episode is a guiding light for women who have released the old, outgrown the familiar, and now find themselves navigating the unknown. It's a reminder that walking alone doesn't mean being lost—it means walking in truth.

Imagine being dropped at the edge of Antarctica, the launch point for a 570-mile ski expedition to the bottom of the world. That's where Chris Fagan and her husband Marti found themselves in 2013, beginning a grueling, 48-day, unguided journey to the South Pole—one that would ultimately earn them a Guinness World Record. Along the way, they faced periods of profound silence: on good days, a serene connection with nature; on bad days, an overwhelming sense of isolation. Chris joins Ben to unpack the paradox of solace and loneliness in an extreme environment like Antarctica, the mental and physical toll of the trek, and how the journey inspired her to write her award-winning book, "The Expedition".

What does the energy of July hold for YOU? I was so curious about this question that I picked THREE oracle cards just for YOU, and I didn't get a message just for July… I got a message for the second half of 2025 too! In this episode, I share the three oracle cards I picked just for YOU from the Sacred Traveler deck, and weave together the THEME for this month AND for the rest of 2025!  These cards reflect the shift in energy that began at the Solstice and are inviting us to utilize the second half of the year to clear the way for a miraculous 2026!   Key Learnings: 1) The energy shift began at the Solstice and will continue through the second half of the year. The first card I chose for you for July is the Distant Thunder card, which invites us to ‘clear the air' and quite literally clear our space! Take stock of what supports you and what is no longer needed, and let go of whatever you no longer need. 2) The second card is Traveling Lightly, which invites us to simplify our lives! This card expands on the first card, but gets a little more specific in helping us let go of mental clutter as well. 3) The last card is Solitude and the message is ‘In Silence, Peace Prevails.' This card is for the second half of the year and it encourages us to bring our attention inward. This card does not mean you will be alone, but rather it encourages you to seek time alone to be with God. All three of these cards are helping us to clear up any loose ends, as it is a 9 year in numerology, a time of completion. This will help us lay a fresh foundation in 2026, which is a 1 year, a brand new cycle.   “Do not allow your circumstances to determine your faith.
