Creative Chamber of Happiness

My guest for this episode is Jerrie Ueberle who founded the World Academy for the Future of Women in 2009.

Jerrie shared her view on the topic of "self love" on this episode which is quite different than what we've been hearing. However, it's absolutely true that Jerrie has been serving the world with all her time, energy, money, effort and connections without "taking care" of herself.

Jerrie is a true leader who I look up to. Today is her 78 year-old birthday, I share her thoughts and wisdom with you, as a gift to her as well.

Happy Birthday, dear Jerrie.

Welcome to the Creative Chamber of Happiness! ️

欢迎来到 CCH 的幸福空间！

For this episode, we have no interview but a monologue, it was originally published under the umbrella of Limitless Laowai, hosted by my podcast idol, Ally Mona.

本集的播客比较特殊，没有面对面的采访，而是来自我的 podcast 偶像 Ally Mona 的一段独白，本集播客于 Ally 创立的 Limitless Laowai 平台首发。

As a fan of Limitless Laowai podcast, I can't hide my excitement when I saw the latest episode being published especially when I've been yearning to see an update for over a year. Ally used to have that super power to update her podcast on average 3 times a week, that's the frequency other audience (coming from over 100 nations globally) and I had been spoiled by. It has been gone for a while that I missed of so much.

作为 Limitless Laowai 播客多年的超级粉丝，在它停更了一年多以后终于出了最新一集的那一天，我无法掩饰我激动的心情。主播 Ally 之前每周更新三集都是小菜一碟，我和来自其他100多个国家的听众们都被她的高频率更新给惯坏了，真的好想念 Ally 高质量的播客！

While I clicked and listened into it, I was hearing something unexpected, something so real happening in our lives, something quite unfamiliar since nobody talks about it. Until that day, Ally was bold enough to tell, to share, to bare her soul, and her emotion.

当我点进去开始听之后，和我的预期真的不是太一样，Ally 讲的都是发生在我们每个人身上的真实的故事，但是听起来又非常陌生，因为周围没有人敢这样讲。直到 Ally 勇敢地分享出了她的故事，把心窝子都掏出来了，“好情绪”、“坏情绪”（真实的情绪）也都一并展现给了大家。

I got to know the wildly positive Ally three and half years ago, on the stage of the last EPWS Gala, she was bright, caring, authentic with incredible empathy. Today on this episode, despite the fact that we are not on the same stage, even not in the same city any more, I feel the same bright, caring, authentic Ally Mona with incredible empathy is with us.

三年半前我在 EPWS 最后一届年度庆典的舞台上认识了 Ally ，当时的她温暖明亮、体贴周到、真实又平易近人，还带有异于常人的同理心（共情的能力）。虽然今天我们不再同一个舞台上了，连所在城市也相隔千里，但在这集播客当中，我能感受到的那个 Ally 还是那样温暖明亮、体贴周到、真实又平易近人。真开心你们也能通过收听感受到！

If you are not familiar we the Limitless Community Ally created, that's fine, just 3 minutes, you will feel what it is about, what Ally is about, what her happiness is about.

如果你之前没听说过 Ally 创立的 Limitless Laowai，没关系，听几分钟的时间你就能立刻感受到她真实鲜活的形象，她正在做的事情，以及她的幸福感都来自哪里。

My guest for this episode is Guillaume-Harry Françoise, who is a theatre director and clown advocate, he will also introduce himself later in the podcast as a slash, tune in to find out how many different roles he's embracing!

I met Harry in a clown performance workshop, where I learned the red nose is the smallest mask in the theatre history, carrying its own mission to bridge the audience and the stage. Harry and his team just finished a series of clown performances in the Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节) last week, I'll share a glimpse of the Wuzhen Theatre Festival at the end of this post if you didn't make it this time.

Harry spent his early childhood on Réunion Island, it's an island in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar and southwest of Mauritius. Réunionese culture is a blend of European, African, Indian, Chinese and insular traditions. Probably because of this early childhood experience, Harry is very sensitive to different cultures and prepared to immerse himself in all culture surprise (shock).

In this podcast, Harry shared about the clown energy and how he uses it daily. He also mentioned about the relationship between giving and receiving, and how to receive. It's easy to skip the receiving part since the giving concept is so popular and easy to pick up, but receiving shares the equal importance. I want to thank Harry for bringing it up and sharing his ideas with us. 

If you want to know-

What does Harry think when someone yell at him?

What will Harry do when someone doesn't understand him?

Who is eating your time and your productivity?

Check out this episode!

In this podcast, Mahdi talked about finding our own values, self consciousness, and the reason why you would never leave the mirror (really? ).

The first half of the podcast I laughed so much which made me wonder whether I should delete that part or not, because it makes me sound less professional and very much like a fool, that's not what I want. I shared my concern with Mahdi, what he said to me was another inspiration, "if we delete the part who we are, then we almost lose the purpose of this podcast".

What Mahdi believes we all have to do is the true answer for everyone of us, who lost in this busy world fighting so hard to win something others believe which is the right things for us to do, but not from our own heart. Find out what it means to him from the second half of this podcast. I truly admire the authenticity Mahdi shared with me, and the encouragement he gave to all of us.
