Podcasts about Solitude

Lauren Bastide est journaliste, autrice et militante féministe et évidemment podcasteuse.Elle vient de publier Enfin seule, un livre intime et politique qui m'a permis de remettre en question mes propres biais intégrés et mes croyances.C'est une conversation que je voulais absolument avoir avec elle depuis longtemps, car nous nous connaissons depuis des années et j'admire énormément son parcours, son intelligence, et la justesse de ses engagements.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de solitude féminine, mais surtout de ce que cela signifie de choisir d'être seule loin des injonctions sociales au couple, à la maternité, à la conformité. J'ai voulu comprendre pourquoi tant de femmes ressentent un manque ou une honte à ne pas avoir "coché toutes les cases", alors qu'elles mènent des vies passionnantes. Lauren apporte une réponse puissante : ce n'est pas un vide intérieur, mais une pression extérieure.J'ai questionné Lauren sur la différence entre être seule, vivre seul et se sentir seul, et sur la manière dont le patriarcat a historiquement maintenu les femmes sous surveillance. Nous avons évoqué des figures oubliées comme Gabrielle Suchon, les dangers d'un retour à un ordre moral réactionnaire – notamment aux États-Unis – mais aussi le rôle de la maison, du corps, de la charge mentale et du soin dans la conquête de soi.C'est un épisode dense, engagé et profondément humain, où il est aussi question de sororité, de féminisme, de poétique du quotidien et de droit à l'ennui.5 citations marquantes« Le célibat, ce n'est pas une position de moins 1. C'est la position zéro. »« Une femme seule, c'est encore vu comme une anomalie sociale. »« Vivre seule par choix, c'est un geste politique. »« On ne peut pas être libre si on reste sous surveillance. »« La maison peut être une prison ou une cabane, c'est ce que l'on en fait. »10 questions posées Quelle est ta relation à l'amitié entre hommes et femmes ?À qui s'adresse ton livre Enfin seule ?Que réponds-tu aux femmes qui souffrent du célibat ?Pourquoi la solitude est-elle un enjeu politique ?Quelle est la différence entre vivre seul, être seul et se sentir seul ?Comment perçois-tu le recul des droits des femmes aux États-Unis ?Peux-tu nous parler de Gabrielle Suchon ?Que signifie pour toi la maison, la cabane ?Comment vis-tu tes propres contradictions ?C'est quoi le message central que tu veux faire passer aux femmes ?Timestamps clés 00:00 – Introduction par Gregory : pression sociale autour du couple02:00 – Début de la conversation avec Lauren03:50 – Sur l'amitié et les relations non capitalisables05:30 – À qui s'adresse Enfin seule10:00 – Solitude choisie vs isolement14:00 – Injonctions sociales au couple19:30 – Le célibat féminin comme stigmate22:00 – Surveillance des femmes et contrôle social31:00 – Recul des droits aux États-Unis et tradwives37:00 – Droit au repos et « linger » selon Bell Hooks41:00 – La maison : entre oppression et émancipation47:00 – Contradictions personnelles et rôle du soin52:00 – Le mythe de la joggeuse et le vrai danger56:00 – Trouver une voix intérieure Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #192 Feminisme washing: On claque la porte?

The sisters embark on Wyoming's Solitude loop, exploring the Cloud Peak wilderness in the Big Horn Mountains. They provide some background and planning considerations for this moderate length trail. Carrie explains her reason for considering the Big Horns “our backyard.” The sisters discuss a particularly important consideration for this trail. Carrie's words of advice include, “Don't drive a Cadillac Deville to the trailhead.” The girls enjoy an evening hike. Carrie requests assistance solving a mystery. Set up camp at beautiful Lake Geneva. Are the Big Horns grizzly country? The sisters reveal a technique to help you sleep better in the tent.

Did you ever consider giving your solitude a fun name? What about “Soso” or “Sisi”? So in those moments when you feel the loneliness approaching, to treat it like an old friend? To invite it in for a cup of tea and listen to it, rather than shutting your door in its face.

Today, we begin our Advent journey by entering a quiet moment in the Christmas story — a moment of hiddenness and waiting. We explore Elizabeth's five months of solitude in Luke 1:23–25 and reflect on how God used that secluded space to reshape her identity and nurture new life within her. Drawing from Bette Dickinson's Making Room in Advent, we consider how solitude becomes a sacred womb where God does his deepest work in us. I hope you'll listen in.

In this powerful Mussar Master Class (Day 106), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe teaches three vital daily remembrances from Orchos Tzaddikim:Regularly seek solitude (hitbodedut) — most interpersonal sins (lashon hara, flattery, mockery, arrogance) only happen in company. Alone time protects us from sin and opens the door to intimate conversation with Hashem in nature, gratitude, confession, and heartfelt prayer.Remember how many hidden miracles Hashem performs for us every single day — accidents we narrowly missed, flights we were delayed for, floods we escaped, dangers we never even knew existed. Hashem is constantly shielding us in ways we will never fully know until the World to Come.All money and success is a temporary deposit from Hashem — He can give or take it in a single moment. Therefore, never be arrogant about wealth, never mock the poor, never refuse to repay debts or return stolen items joyfully, and always pray that Hashem guide you to use “His money” exactly the way He wants.The class is filled with awe-inspiring stories: the rabbi whose insistence on retrieving his tefillin delayed the second 9/11 plane and saved thousands of lives, the man who arrogantly declared “Hashem can never take my money” and lost it — then regained it — overnight, and the breathtaking miracles hidden inside a single leaf or the human body.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on April 28, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 30, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Adam

Continuing our series looking at certain spiritual disciplines, Pastor Adam looked at 1 Kings 19 to the account of Elijah hearing the gentle whisper of God as he experienced solitude while on the run from Jezebel. Among other things, we learn that God provides for our needs and brings correction and direction. So, let's take steps toward inner solitude, putting into practice this discipline and following Pastor Adam's encouragement. -Featuring Adam Sexton

In this episode, I sit down with 19-year-old Norwegian actor Isak Macody Falck to unpack how culture shapes our relationship to happiness. We talk about the more reserved nature of Scandinavian social life, the pressure of Norway's infamous “party buses,” and why solitude feels more normalized—and even valued—across the region. Isak shares how acting, humor, and intentional alone time help him stay centered, while I reflect on hustle culture, FOMO, and the challenge of slowing down in New York. Together, we explore what the happiest countries get right about solitude and how different environments influence our emotional well-being.

On pense souvent que les plus grandes menaces pour notre santé viennent de ce que l'on consomme : la cigarette, l'alcool, la malbouffe. Mais il existe un autre poison, plus discret, plus insidieux : la solitude. Elle ne brûle pas les poumons, n'encrasse pas les artères, et pourtant, elle use le corps et le cerveau aussi sûrement qu'un paquet de cigarettes par jour.En 2023, une vaste étude publiée dans JAMA Network Open a analysé les données de centaines de milliers de personnes à travers le monde. Les chercheurs ont découvert que l'isolement social augmentait de 32 % le risque de mortalité prématurée, et la solitude ressentie, de 14 %. En clair : vivre seul et se sentir seul, même entouré, peut raccourcir la vie. Un constat que d'autres travaux confirment : selon une méta-analyse menée par Julianne Holt-Lunstad à l'université Brigham Young, les effets de la solitude sur la santé sont comparables à ceux du tabagisme.Pourquoi ? Parce que notre cerveau n'a pas été conçu pour vivre dans l'isolement. Pendant des millénaires, notre survie dépendait du groupe : la chaleur du feu, la veille commune, la chasse collective. Être seul, c'était être en danger. Aujourd'hui encore, notre corps réagit à la solitude comme à une menace : le rythme cardiaque s'accélère, le cortisol – l'hormone du stress – grimpe, le système immunitaire s'affaiblit. À long terme, cette inflammation silencieuse favorise les maladies cardiovasculaires, la dépression, et même certains cancers.Mais le danger ne se limite pas au corps. Les personnes isolées, souvent âgées, dorment moins bien, bougent moins, mangent plus mal. Elles consultent moins souvent les médecins, ont plus de mal à suivre un traitement. La solitude agit comme une spirale : plus on s'enfonce, plus il devient difficile d'en sortir.Et puisque Avast soutient cet épisode, je dois souligner que les effets néfastes de la solitude s'étendent à Internet. Bien que certaines personnes âgées soient familières avec Internet, les données du gouvernement français montrent que beaucoup d'entre elles manquent d'expérience en ligne et l'enquête menée par Avast révèle que les personnes âgées sont vulnérables aux escroqueries en ligne.C'est pourquoi Avast encourage à avoir ce qu'il appelle “La Discussion Cybersécurité” : un moment d'échange entre générations pour parler d'arnaques, de mots de passe, de vigilance numérique. Parce que protéger les plus âgés, c'est aussi recréer du lien, leur donner les outils et la confiance nécessaires pour naviguer sereinement dans ce monde numérique.La sécurité ne dépend donc pas seulement d'un logiciel, même si bien sûr je vous encourage à télécharger l'Antirus Gratuit d'Avast disponible depuis Google Play et l'App Store d'Apple ou en cliquant directement sur le lien suivant: https://www.avast.com/fr-fr/lp-free-av?full_trSrc=mmm_ava_tst_008_470_g&utm_source=codesource&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=mid-funnel_mmm_ava_tst_008_470_g&utm_content=mid_audio#mac La transmission et le partage de connaissance est aussi important : aider un parent à reconnaître un faux message ou un lien suspect, c'est déjà un geste d'amour.

Transcript:Ca: El vent fred xiulava entre les branques dels roures antics del bosc de Montjuïc, on Jordi caminava en silenci, esperant trobar la pau que tant anhelava.En: The cold wind whistled among the branches of the ancient oak trees in the Montjuïc forest, where Jordi walked in silence, hoping to find the peace he so longed for.Ca: Les fulles groguenques i marrons formaven una catifa sota els seus peus, però aquella tardor amagava una sorpresa: una tempesta de neu inesperada.En: The yellow and brown leaves formed a carpet under his feet, but that autumn hid a surprise: an unexpected snowstorm.Ca: Jordi coneixia cada racó d'aquella muntanya.En: Jordi knew every corner of that mountain.Ca: La boscositat del terreny era un refugi per al seu esperit inquiet, que sovint buscava escapar de la vida sorollosa de Barcelona.En: The woodland terrain was a refuge for his restless spirit, which often sought to escape the noisy life of Barcelona.Ca: No obstant això, aquella nit, la natura havia decidit desafiar la seva saviesa i confiança.En: However, that night, nature had decided to challenge his wisdom and confidence.Ca: El cel es va enfosquir ràpidament.En: The sky darkened quickly.Ca: Flocs de neu van començar a caure amb intensitat, cobrint el terra en un mantell blanc.En: Snowflakes began to fall heavily, covering the ground in a white blanket.Ca: Jordi, bocabadat, va adonar-se que havia subestimat la muntanya.En: Jordi, astonished, realized he had underestimated the mountain.Ca: La visibilitat va minvar, i el camí que tan bé coneixia es va esvair sota la nevada.En: Visibility diminished, and the path he knew so well vanished under the snowfall.Ca: Atrapant l'aire gèlid, Jordi va decidir que havia de trobar refugi abans que fos massa tard.En: Breathing in the icy air, Jordi decided he needed to find shelter before it was too late.Ca: Amb mans tremoloses, va recollir branques seques i va construir un petit refugi.En: With trembling hands, he gathered dry branches and built a small shelter.Ca: Després, amb les seves habilitats, va encendre un foc minúscul.En: Then, with his skills, he lit a tiny fire.Ca: Les flames van ballar amb la brisa, proporcionant-li una mica de calor i esperança.En: The flames danced with the breeze, providing him with a bit of warmth and hope.Ca: Tot i la situació, Jordi es va sentir sol com mai.En: Despite the situation, Jordi felt lonelier than ever.Ca: En aquell moment de quietud imposada, va reflexionar sobre la seva vida.En: In that moment of imposed stillness, he reflected on his life.Ca: Per què s'allunyava de les persones que estimava?En: Why did he distance himself from the people he loved?Ca: Per què buscava sempre solitud?En: Why was he always seeking solitude?Ca: Mentre les hores passaven lentament, va començar a comprendre que la seva felicitat també depenia dels altres.En: As the hours passed slowly, he began to understand that his happiness also depended on others.Ca: De sobte, un so trencador: veus llunyanes i lladrucs de gossos.En: Suddenly, a breaking sound: distant voices and barking dogs.Ca: Jordi, ple d'esperança renovada, es va aixecar amb dificultat i va cridar amb totes les seves forces.En: Jordi, filled with renewed hope, stood up with difficulty and shouted with all his might.Ca: —Aquí!En: "Here!Ca: Aquí!En: Here!"Ca: Les figures van aparèixer entre els arbres, amb llanternes a la mà.En: Figures appeared among the trees, flashlights in hand.Ca: Maria i Pere, ben equipats amb roba d'abrig, van córrer cap a ell.En: Maria and Pere, well-equipped with warm clothes, ran towards him.Ca: Eren part de l'equip de rescat que el buscava des que la tempesta s'havia intensificat.En: They were part of the rescue team that had been

Loneliness seems to be part of what it means to be a relational being. Does that mean loneliness can never really be “solved”? Here's one way to think about loneliness: As a gap between relational expectation and social reality—something that signals our essentially relational, reciprocal nature as human beings.This episode is part 6 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this reflective conclusion to the series, Macie Bridge and Ryan McAnnally-Linz explore loneliness not as a pathology to solve but as a universal, creaturely experience that reveals our longing for relationship. Drawing on insights from conversations throughout the series, they consider how loneliness emerges in the gap between what we desire relationally and what we actually have, and why this gap might be intrinsic to being human. They discuss solitude as a vital space for discernment, self-understanding, and listening for God; how risk is inherent to relationships; why the church holds unique potential for embodied community; and how even small interactions with neighbors and strangers can meet real needs. Together they reflect on grief, social isolation, resentment, vulnerability, and the invitation to turn loneliness into attentiveness—to God, to ourselves, and to our neighbors, human and non-human alike.Episode Highlights“Loneliness is just baked into our creaturely lives.”“There really is no solution to loneliness—and also that's okay.”“We invite a certain level of risk because we invite another person closer to our own human limits.”“There's no blanket solution. We are all experiencing this thing, but we are all experiencing it differently.”“I realized I could be a gift to her, and she could be a gift to me, even in that small moment.”About Macie BridgeMacie Bridge is Operations Coordinator for the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. Macie is originally from the small town of Groton, Massachusetts, where she was raised in the United Church of Christ. As an undergraduate at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, Macie studied English literature, creative writing, and religious studies. She spent a year in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with the Episcopal Service Corps after receiving her B.A. There, she served as Events & Communications Coordinator for L'Arche North Carolina—an emerging L'Arche community, and therefore an incredible “crash course” into the nonprofit world.About Ryan McAnnally-LinzRyan McAnnally-Linz is Associate Director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and a theologian focusing on flourishing, meaning, and the moral life. He is co-author of Public Faith in Action and The Home of God with Miroslav Volf, and Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most with Miroslav Volf and Matt Croasmun.Show NotesLoneliness as Creaturely ConditionLoneliness as “baked into our creaturely lives,” not a sign of brokenness or failureThe “gap between what we want and what we have” in relationshipsLoneliness as a universal human experience across ages and contextsSolitude and DiscernmentSolitude as a place to listen more clearly to God and oneselfTime alone clarifies intuition, vocation, and identity.Solitude shapes self-knowledge outside societal expectations.Community, Church, and EmbodimentChurches can be embodied spaces of connection yet still feel lonely.Hospitality requires more than “hi”; it requires digging deeper into personal encounter.Embodied church life resists technological comforts that reduce vulnerability.Grief, Risk, and VulnerabilityDistinguishing grief-loneliness from social-isolation lonelinessRelationships inherently involve risk, limits, and potential hurt.Opening oneself to others requires relinquishing entitlement.Everyday Encounters and Ecological AttentionSmall moments with neighbors (like taking a stranger's photo) can be meaningful.Loneliness can signal attention toward creaturely neighbors—birds, bugs, landscapes.Turning loneliness outward can widen our capacity for care.Production NotesThis podcast featured Macie BridgeEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Hope ChunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

This is a podcast of a guest sermon, given by invitation to the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills. A guest sermon invited by the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills, Aug 9, 2015. In it, I discuss Rainer Maria Rilke's conception of "solitude" (Einsamkeit), and its relevance to our contemporary lives. Explaining how the two dimensions of slowing down temporally and making space spatially figure into the development of solitude as Rilke describes it, I suggest that in our own era, time has become the more scarce resource.

Living alone may be difficult, but what about dying alone? Physicians and nurses are the new priests accompanying people as they face death. But the experience of nursing homes, assisted living, and palliative wards are often some of the loneliest spaces in human culture.“He said, ‘Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.'”This episode is part 5 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this episode, Columbia physician and medical ethicist Lydia Dugdale joins Macie Bridge to reflect on loneliness, solitude, and what it means to die—and live—well. Drawing from her clinical work in New York City and the years of research and experience that went into her book The Lost Art of Dying, Dugdale exposes a crisis of unrepresented patients dying alone, the loss of communal care, and medicine's discomfort with mortality.She recalls the medieval Ars Moriendi tradition, where dying was intentionally communal, and explores how virtue and community sustain a good death. Together they discuss solitude as restorative rather than fearful, loneliness as a modern epidemic, and the sacred responsibility of seeing one another deeply. With stories from her patients and her own reflections on family, COVID isolation, and faith, Dugdale illuminates how medicine, mortality, and moral imagination converge on one truth: to die well, we must learn to live well … together.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom by Lydia S.

I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.'”“We are social creatures.

Do you ever feel guilty for wanting time to yourself? Or do you struggle to be truly alone with your thoughts without the distractions of your phone? If you feel pressure to be productive or you get uncomfortable when you're alone, this episode is for you. I'm talking to Dr. Robert Coplan, a developmental psychologist, college professor, leading researcher on solitude, and author of the new book The Joy of Solitude. Some of the things we discuss are: The true definition of solitude Why alone time is actually the opposite of loneliness—and it's essential for your well-being How the “deactivation effect” of solitude helps regulate your emotions and restore your energy The science behind how being alone can spark creativity and even make your relationships stronger The simple tech guidelines for solitude that can help you get the most out of your time alone What the famous 15-minute electric shock study really tells us about being alone How to build your “solitude muscles” with micro-moments of intentional alone time What to say when you need to set boundaries and request alone time without offending others How to embrace the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) instead of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) Why it's crucial to start building solitude skills in kids and how the benefits change with age Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.
