The Walk: Why You Keep So Much Clutter
27 november 2024 · 39 min
I'll admit it - I'm a bit of a digital hoarder. My internet browser is like a virtual junk drawer, with tabs upon tabs open at any given time. Why do I insist on keeping so many tabs open, even when they're just cluttering up my computer and slowing everything down? It's not just the browser either - I used to have bookshelves overflowing with tomes from my university days, and a closet full of memorabilia from my travels. Maybe it all comes down to this deep-seated fear of losing information, ideas, and memories. As the years go by, it's like I'm trying to hold onto every little thing, terrified that if I let go, I'll forget or miss out on something important. But is that really the healthiest approach? In this episode of my podcast 'The Walk', I dive into the bittersweet process of aging - the physical changes, the nostalgia, and the challenge of learning to let go. It's not all doom and gloom, though. I also explore the benefits of embracing each stage of life, and how a little gratitude can go a long way in reframing the experience of getting older. So if you, like me, find yourself drowning in a sea of open tabs and half-forgotten keepsakes, give this episode a listen. You might just find some wisdom and humor to help you navigate the journey of growing older (and wiser). After all, as they say, with age comes...well, a lot of stuff. But also the opportunity to reflect, appreciate, and move forward in a meaningful way. Lees meer

The Walk: What's The Point Of A Reading Challenge?
19 november 2024 · 44 min
In this episode of The Walk, I share with you a conversation I had with someone who was wondering what the point is of reading books when you probably have no time of life left to do anything with the knowledge you gain? Lees meer
And what's the point of reading altogether?
I share why I try to read 150 books this year, how I manage to read so many books and how the reading process affects me on various important levels.

The Walk: How I Calm My Mind
12 november 2024 · 48 min
Ever notice how some days the hum of a leaf blower or other background noise can be more aggravating than others? I explore how my own tolerance for these everyday sounds can fluctuate, and how it reflects my level of sensory regulation (or disregulation and overload). Lees meer
The Impact of Overstimulation
In a world filled with constant distractions, it’s easy to find ourselves overstimulated, which can lead to irritability and stress.
Growing up, I was taught to be productive every moment, a habit that led to my own state of chronic overstimulation.
During my recent trip to Ireland, I experienced this firsthand as I adapted to new surroundings daily. Even sleeping in hostels brought sensory overload, with unfamiliar sounds, background music and social interaction.
Finding Relief Through Decompression Techniques
Coming home, I focused on winding down through sensory decompression techniques. Noise-canceling headphones, calming music, and scheduled time to reset became essential.
I also found that the Pomodoro Technique, paired with realistic prioritization, helps me manage my tasks without feeling overwhelmed.
Calming Activities: Audiobooks and Low-Effort Gaming
Reading is another outlet—particularly audiobooks, which I listen to at different speeds based on what I need. I also turned to cosy, low-effort videogames, which have become valuable ways to unwind without guilt. I've learned how much relaxation is crucial for mental well-being.
The Power of Social Connection
Although I’m more introverted, being around others—even without active interaction—brings a sense of calm. My running group has been a great help in maintaining that balance.
Rational vs Irrational Thoughts
I share some ideas from a particularly insightful book I read this weekend (check out my Goodreads review). I realized how I've already been applying the method described in this book for a while now, which helped me work through strong emotional reactions and catastrophizing thoughts and rep…

The Walk: What The Monks of Glendalough Taught Me
6 november 2024 · 33 min
After a month-long hiatus, I'm back with a new episode of The Walk! During my time away, I traveled to Ireland to explore the rich Catholic tradition and the influence of the early Celtic saints. Lees meer
This trip was also a personal quest for me, as I normally like to have everything planned out. But this time, I decided to let go of my fear and just dive in, and I'm so glad I did.
The time away gave me a chance to reflect on the direction of my two public podcasts - The Walk and The Break.
For The Walk, I plan to keep the same format of taking listeners on a walk with me and discussing life's challenges and how faith can help guide us.
For The Break, I'm rebranding it as "Geek Priest" to better align with my love of movies, TV, and all things geeky. I'm also going to focus each episode on a specific topic that I'm passionate about, and add some random topics in the second half of the show.
One of the stories I want to share with you today is about the monastic site of Glendalough in Ireland. This place, founded by St. Kevin in the 5th century, endured many hardships over the centuries, including Viking raids and political upheaval.
But through it all, the main tower at Glendalough has remained standing as a symbol of God's enduring presence and the resilience of faith.
It's a powerful reminder that no matter what challenges we face, or how anxious we sometimes feel, God will never abandon us.

The Walk: What If You Could Live Forever?
20 augustus 2024 · 54 min
Imagine discovering one day that you’re immortal, destined to live for centuries, outlasting everyone you know and love. How would you feel about that? Lees meer
It’s the premise of the 1986 movie Highlander, where Connor MacLeod, a Scottish Highlander born in the 16th century, learns he’s one of a rare few who can only die if beheaded.
As he navigates centuries of conflict with others like him, he’s forced to grapple with the loneliness of outliving everyone he holds dear. There’s talk of a reboot starring Henry Cavill—Superman himself—taking on the role of this timeless warrior.
Queen
When Queen's iconic guitarist, Brian May, was asked to write the title song for the original movie, he composed the haunting "Who Wants to Live Forever?" This powerful song dives into the heart of the matter: Is eternal life on earth truly a gift if it means watching everyone you love eventually fade away?
This question is timeless and resonates through other stories, like J.R.R. Tolkien’s tales of Beren and Lúthien, and Arwen and Aragorn. In these stories, the immortal elves choose to sacrifice their eternal life out of love for their mortal partners. They’d rather face death together than endure the endless loneliness of living forever.
Bittersweet
Recently, I spoke with a parishioner in her nineties who shared the deep loneliness she feels after outliving all her family members. Her story brought home the bittersweet truth of our finite existence. While we might not like to think about it, acknowledging that our time on earth is limited can help us cherish the moments we have and the relationships we build even more.
Tolkien
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us,” Gandalf wisely tells Frodo in *The Lord of the Rings*. Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel the constant pressure to be productive every moment of the day, often leading to burnout. Are we truly making the most of our time? Are we investing it in what genuinely matters, or are w…

8 augustus 2024 · 41 min

The Walk: Took vs Baggins
2 juli 2024 · 42 min
I have always enjoyed traveling, both for work and for leisure. On the other hand, I'm also a bit of a Hobbit who likes to be at home and who is apprehensive of leaving my routines and familiar surroundings behind. Lees meer
But I realize that if that need for comfort and predictability prevents me from pursuing new adventures, I run the risk of making my life smaller and smaller.
So a while ago, I made a decision. Four times per year, I would push myself to go on an adventure. To travel abroad, not to for a vacation, but to work remotely while creating room for new experiences and new encounters.
In this episode, I share with you where the road takes me in the month of July, and what my hopes and plans are for this new adventure.

The Walk: How To Get Out Of The Negativity Loop
19 juni 2024 · 41 min
Whether it is about Star Wars: The Acolyte, about politics or about faith: online debate seems to be stuck in a negativity loop that is hard to avoid nowadays. Lees meer

The Walk: Creating a New Home For My Community
13 juni 2024 · 42 min
For months I have been working behind the scenes on creating a new home for my community on my own website. Lees meer
I have finally started the process of bringing people over from Patreon to the new system, and I am ironing out the last wrinkles.
It is the kind of work that I always forget to 'count' at the end of the day, because it doesn't immediately result in tangible output. But thanks to the 'Got Done' List I add to my journal at the end of the day, I'm starting to become more aware of the fact that I do way more work every day than I give myself credit for.
The vision for the new community site is for it to be a 'home' for my followers, a place where they find a supportive and friendly community.
If you are supporting me through Patreon right now, you will soon receive an invitation to move your membership over to the new community.

The Walk: Struggling With Your To-Do List? Try This Instead
29 mei 2024 · 37 min
Yoda’s famous words—“Do, or do not. There is no try”—resonate beyond the Star Wars universe. But in our daily lives, it’s not always easy to put into practice. Lees meer
Join me as I explore the struggle between productivity and rest. I’ve struggled with endless To-Do lists must as much as with allowing myself some rest and recovery by doing nothing. Like Luke Skywalker during his training, I keep trying.
However, there’s one thing I often forget: I’m actually pretty good at ‘having done things.’ I just don’t always acknowledge my accomplishments. Maybe it’s time to change that.
In this week’s episode of The Walk, I discuss the power of recognizing what we’ve achieved and finding fulfillment beyond mere effort.

The Walk: About Hobbits, Gardeners and Architects
23 mei 2024 · 48 min
I often dream of living like a Hobbit. A life in which the only thing I have to worry about is which meal comes next, or in which I only have to follow a wizard and a bunch of dwarves on an adventure. Lees meer
But in reality, I am very good at worrying about almost everything. Instead of living care-free, I am always planning, strategizing and going over all the possible scenarios that life can throw at me. And when reality doesn't match my plans, I get upset and stressed out.
In this podcast, I share an idea I found in Thomas Salerno's latest blog about the difference between architects and gardeners that helped me look at my life in a different way. You can read his blog here: https://thomasjsalerno.substack.com/p/a-garden-of-words

The Walk: What LEGO Taught Me About Pentecost
16 mei 2024 · 35 min
After the first LEGO movie came out, I was so inspired that I created a short animated video with Lego minifigures in which I explained the meaning of Pentecost. It was an instant hit and was viewed hundreds of thousands of times all over the world. Lees meer
It taught me how much of an impact your message can have if you communicate it in a language that your target audience (in this case: kids and their parents) can understand.
Isn't this the core message of Pentecost? The Holy Spirit teaches us new languages to help us reach out with the Good News of God's love for us.
In this episode, I share how I want to help others with my media experience by explaining my communications method in my next book.

The Walk: How a Zoo Visit Made Me Rethink My Workflow
30 april 2024 · 1 uur 11 min
On Monday, I got a tour behind the scenes of the Tropical Reef Aquarium of Burger's Zoo in Arnhem. It was a fascinating experience. Our guide explained how the zoo makes its own, high quality sea water, eight million liters in total! This water is first distributed to the most important and most demanding part of the Aquarium: the thriving, colorful coral reef, the largest living coral reef in Europe. From there, the water flows to the other, connected parts of the aquarium. While I was riding my bike back home, I reflected on the way I have been organizing my media work over the years. The world of social media and online content has changed quite a bit since my early days of podcasting on Saint Peter's Square. Now that I'm on the verge of opening the early access fase of my new communities on fatherroderick.com, it is a good moment to rethink the way in which I connect with my followers and how I can serve them best. Similar to the way in which Burger's Zoo creates its own sea water and makes sure it reaches the most important and valuable parts of the aquarium first, only to flow to connected areas later, I'm planning on focusing my efforts on the creation of one content pillar, aimed at my primary target audience first and foremost. In a subsequent step, I can repurpose that content and distribute it to the various connected audiences on my social media channels next.In this episode of The Walk, I explain my thought process and what it means for my future workflow.

The Walk: Masking and Unmasking
16 april 2024 · 59 min
I recently discovered why social activities often wear me out: in many situations, I feel that I have to 'put on my happy face' instead of being fully myself. It is an ingrained habit of 'masking', and I have noticed that the more I feel free to 'unmask', the more I actually enjoy social company. Lees meer
What are some of the reasons that we sometimes force ourselves to behave in a way that other people expect of us, instead of fully being ourselves? When can this be useful, and when can it become harmful?
In the premium part of the episode I share with my patrons some ideas for monthly masterclasses, retreats and pilgrimages.

The Walk: How to 'sit' with your emotions
10 april 2024 · 44 min
I was staring at the shelves of my fridge. What would I eat? I couldn't decide, and for a reason: I had just had dinner an hour before. And yet, I had felt this urge to grab a snack even though I wasn't hungry at all. Time to pause and to ask myself what was going on. Lees meer
I had been struggling with an important decision I had to take and instinctively I was trying to cope with the tension by eating something. Sounds familiar? In this episode of The Walk I talk about how to 'sit' with your emotions instead of trying to suppress them or letting these feelings take over.
In the premium part of the show for my patrons, I share how I envision the creation of two goal-oriented membership communities next to the existing community of friends and supporters of my work.
