There Is No Future is a monthly, audio-only podcast created by Karin Bertelsen—nurse, author, and co-founder of the Float Sideways movement. Rooted in the philosophies of There Is No Future, There Is No Past, each episode invites a guest to choose their favorite page from the book and reflect on how its message lives in their own life.
Through thoughtful, generative questions, Karin guides conversations that are less about advice and more about awareness. These episodes help listeners navigate the River of Life—learning how to pause, reflect, and float sideways rather than pushing upstream or drifting aimlessly.
This podcast is not a tool for productivity, but for presence. It offers a quiet counterpoint to the noise of modern living and brings listeners back to the only thing that’s ever real: now.
Our mission is to offer listeners an experience of emotional grounding, thoughtful presence, and everyday wisdom—through the lens of a single page from There Is No Future, There Is No Past.
