The Empty Cup

The Empty Cup

An empty cup is not blankness; it’s availability. It is the willingness to look more closely at our assumptions, to meet life in a relaxed manner with an open heart. Open to accepting the present moment as it is. If your mind is full—full of opinions, expectations, habitual thinking—, this podcast invites you to sit back, relax and be emptied.

There is a kind of sadness that is not only about loss. When what we rely on falls away, something older is revealed—an underlying openness we usually try to cover. When we dare to face it, we develop the courage to remain open. Even when nothing is resolved. Even when nothing is promised. Even when life does not give us what we hoped for.

We often think letting go is something we must do—an effort, a decision, a release. But what if letting go is not an action at all?
This episode explores a quieter possibility: that letting go happens when we stop trying to hold what was never ours to begin with.

We live leaning forward — toward the next achievement, the next recognition, the next love. Even spiritual life can become another version of that leaning. We hope to become wiser, freer, more awakened. And in that hope, we keep contentment always postponed.

Waiting is a subtle addiction. At best, something we hoped for happens, and we feel briefly soothed. Then the habit returns. The search resumes. “This is it”, interrupt...

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
