Jack Panda Speaks

How often do we judge ourselves and others for behaving in a "bad" way? Can we see beyond the behaviour and empathise with it's origin? Today I touch on childhood and how it shapes us, where my jealousy comes from, the Oedipus complex, empathy for a murderer, and feeling resentment/gratitude towards our parents. We cannot change our childhood, but we can change the way we see it!

How much time and money do you invest in sourcing your food? Do you care where it comes from and how it is produced? Today I rant about the current food system, the low quality food it produces, and the high levels of exploitation it engages with, our lack of action until its too late, how being nice is not always the solution, my desire to create a support group and developing my relationship with men. Tackling loneliness with the virtual world!

How often do you overthink before creating something or delete it afterwards because you don't think it is good enough? Today I talk about creating everyday, money worries, how we humans have always upgraded ourselves with technology, our obsession with wellbeing, how choice is not always freedom and the abundance paradox.

In today's episode I skip the intro and go straight into talking about impatience, insecurities, instant gratification, avoidance of negative emotion, fake positivity, social media depression, loneliness epidemic, and how opening up and sharing the dark times, makes them lighter!

In today's abundant virtual world, opportunities are there for those willing to go after them! Today I talk about finding jobs online as a Nomad, putting yourself out there, bulletproof coffee, how saturated fats are not to be feared, how plant foods can also be toxic, my cravings on a vegan diet and personalized diets. Everything has its black and white in life, nothing is all good or all bad, so find what works for you!

How often do we assume someone needs help without asking, and then get rejected and feel unappreciated? This morning it happened to me, which was frustrating in the moment, although in return it fueled my run and topic on here. Today I share my thoughts on how helping can be counterintuitive, the assumption that helping is always benevolent, personal somatic reflections, mirorring that takes place in our relationships, the bonding process and relationship with my brother, dissatisfaction and letting go of perfectionism.

In today's episode I look at climate change through panda eyes, the emerging essence of transhumanism, the inner conflict that this entails, fear as a double edged sword and the transition from mother nature to mother technology. Some fear the transition, others feel excited about it!

I made a mistake today, I said it is episode 6 instead of episode 7. That's ok, can we be ok with our imperfection? Today I touch on doing less more often, speaking truth in the workplace, emotional implosion, vulnerability as a strength, community support, accountability, and reaching out for help. Dealing with life on your own does not make you stronger!

Very few of us are willing to take that first step into the abyss of creativity, and bring back something totally new and unique to the world. We have this limited belief that we must learn from others, but is that entirely true? Today I touch on the creative process, being ok with failing, trusting beyond yourself, mystical experience via creativity, getting out of our heads, embracing the unknown and building confidence. There is a reason why I have never been into following recipes as a chef!

I experienced the nomadic lifestyle before it became a product, and let me tell you it is not all what they sell you it to be! Today I touch on the half story, so called "digital nomads", are spreading in pursuit of growing their own online business, the process of community integration, the downside of change and this era of abundant opportunity, the new employer-employee dynamic, the illusion of freedom, the depth found within commitment, and the panda mindset. Always look on the bright side of life, although always be aware of the the dark side.
