The Carlos Whittaker Podcast episodes

December 18, 2025 Ep. 92 - The End... For Now
For nearly five years, this podcast has been a space for honest conversation, curiosity, and connection. Today’s episode marks the end of that season.
I’m stepping away from weekly episodes — not out of burnout, but out of trust. Trust that good things sometimes have to end so new things can come to life.
Thank you for being part of this community. The feed will remain live, and I’ll see you again in whatever comes next.
Until then — stay human.

December 11, 2025 Episode 91: Facing Grief And Other Hard Emotions Head On
I went back to my dad’s grave for the first time since he passed away 9 months ago. I didn’t feel ready, but I went anyway. It changed my understanding of grief a bit. Sometimes it feels like you have no choice when a wave of grief hits. But sometimes you can choose to walk into the wave first. That’s what going to my dad’s grave felt like. It felt like choosing grief.
Let me give you permission to step into the hard things even if you don’t know what to do when you get there. You just might stumble upon a little bit of healing.

December 04, 2025 Episode 90: A Conversation On Neurodivergence And Becoming The Kind Of Person Who Says "I See You" with Greer
Join me and my new friend Greer today as we discuss what it looks like to be in relationship with people who are neurodivergent; how to create space and say “I see you” to people who may not always feel seen; and asking questions I’ve never asked before.
You have a friend who is either neurodivergent themselves or has a child who is, and this episode is going to equip you, challenge you, and educate you on ways you can continue to support and love them.

November 20, 2025 Episode 89: Silence Doesn’t Mean Absence - When You Can’t Find What You’re Looking For
Don’t worry, this isn’t about hunting! 🤪We’re just going to be talking about life. I know that you can be doing everything right—praying, working, providing, showing up again and again (or in my case, hiking miles and miles (and miles)), and still not find what you’re looking for.
When that’s the case, it’s hard to want to keep trying. So what do you do when you’re in a season when nothing you planned for is happening? Take a listen and find out!

November 13, 2025 Episode 88: The Algorithm Of Fear - How We’re Being Played By Panic
We’re leaning into the algorithm of fear and learning how to break it!
I define what the algorithm of fear is, give you some examples of how you might be getting played, and then share really practical ways to break the fear feed. This is all applicable to life on and off screens.

November 06, 2025 Episode 87: How To Heal Your Heart Instead Of Letting Rage Destroy You With Kirsten Powers
Bipartisan political analyst Kirsten Powers is sharing her take on how we can remain true to ourselves while also believing for the good of others.
She realized that the rage that was filling her heart in the midst of delivering news was absolutely destroying her. Take a listen to hear what she did to find healing.
You may have heard this conversation before, and that’s because I’ve been in South Africa this week and the episode I thought I recorded is nowhere to be found. 🙃 But this conversation with Kirsten is worth listening to again because it’s still (unfortunately) so relevant for us today.

October 30, 2025 Episode 86: Building Healthy Friendships In An Age Of Disconnection
This episode is all about friendship—inspired by one of the best talks I’ve ever heard on friendship. Even if you have good friends, what I share today will help you better those friendships. And if you feel like you don’t have good friends, let me encourage you by saying that you’re not alone. As a society, we are the most connected and yet the loneliest we’ve ever been. But there’s hope!
So here are some thoughts on how to build healthy friendships, at any stage of life!

October 23, 2025 Episode 85: We Lost The Plot
We've lost the plot. I swear my entire social media feed right now is just Christians fighting over Taylor Swift and Halloween. And today I'm just processing through it.
Now, let me be clear and say that I lose the plot all the time. We all do. But I'm just really discouraged by how much discourse is dedicated to trivial pursuits rather than Gospel truths. It just seems like we're more interested in engaging with rage-baits online than we are reaching out to a friend we know is struggling.
But I think there's hope for change! And I'm sharing it with you today.

October 16, 2025 Episode 84: Feeling Unseen And Experiencing Grief With My Mom Carmen Whittaker
This week we’re going in deep with my mom. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, we have a bit of a lighter conversation about crochet.
But this is a continuation of that conversation, and it’s packed full of my mom’s thoughts on and experiences with grief, caring for widows and the elderly, and feeling unseen.

October 09, 2025 Episode 83: Crocheting With My Mom (And So Much More)
My mom is on the podcast today!! She’s been crocheting these little animals lately. So I thought we’d talk about crocheting, which inevitably turned into so much more.
I have a challenge for you: Find something that brings you joy that doesn’t involve a screen.
And then notice what comes up (and maybe even heals) inside of you when you do that thing.
