Standing Nowhere
A podcast about waking up — not to new beliefs, but beyond them.
What happens when we stop standing on any fixed idea of who we are or what life means?
Standing Nowhere explores spirituality, mindfulness, and the mystery of being human through honest conversation and reflection.
Host Jacob Buehler blends story, humor, and real-life experience as a working father and seeker, drawing from mysticism and contemplative traditions to point toward what can’t be captured in words — presence itself.
No dogma. No certainty. Just curiosity, compassion, and the ongoing discovery of what remains when there’s nowhere left to stand.
If you’ve ever questioned everything and found peace in not knowing — welcome home.
