Janda Becanda - The Widow Jokes

https://jandabecanda.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Sara-Djojo-Final.mp3

This episode is one that is near and dear to my heart because I had the chance to speak to another mother of a Down's Syndrome child. She is a host on YouTube's "Let's Talk with Sara."

We candidly discussed of the struggles in getting our children the help they need in Indonesia. Everything from early intervention education, speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy to support for the families themselves. We commiserated, shared experience and stayed hopeful for these resources to one day become more readily available in Indonesia.

Among the resources discussed on the show were:

For our 21st episode we have a World Bank lead economist come talk about reinventing the self.

Why has Janda Becanda interviewed an economist? Well, our guest is not only an expert at developing programs to curb poverty but she is also an aspiring podcaster with the dream to spread her message wide to extend positive vibes on her new show called “Asa & Galau,” which is loosely translated as “Hopes & anxiousness.” Meaning have hope and ditch your anxiousness. And that is her message today.

She also talks about her own transformation from her career with the World Bank and now her work as a podcaster. She shares her insights on how to reinvent your life. Discover your passion and purpose and live a life you are contented with.

Without further ado I present to you Vivi Alatas.

Welcome to episode 20, which is a very special edition.

it is a rebroadcast of BBC interview with reporter Heyder Afan on Janda Becanda podcast as part of International Women’s Day celebration.

Afan peeled back the core purpose of the podcast which is to inspire and empower its listeners through shared stories of struggles and successes.

The BBC interview originally aired on March 10. Noteworthy mentions of past Janda Becanda guests include @poppyhanadhy of @pofeleve fashion label and @nadiahastarini of @aniccaindonesia & @jeda.wellnest yoga studios in Jakarta.

Every once in a while you get a real tender story of a real Janda struggle. Our guest episode, Ance Dewianti, finalized her divorce the same time where she lost her high-ranked position after 20 years both in marriage and in her job. Reset back to a starting point.

You hear stories of people who had life changing moments that inspired their lives to take a different path altogether. A virtual reality trip was that fork on the road for Ashima Thomas. A former BBC journalist turned short documentary filmmaker who turned to Virtual- and Augmented-reality for her new medium of story telling.

Her conviction of the future of VR for the masses rose higher than her fears of sticking to the work she was doing. Her vision as CEO of her Singapore-based firm Warrior 9VR is to show you the compelling stories that require your input to the point where you would take action. Her latest mission is to get people beyond awareness of the world's plastic problem through an under water ocean experience using VR made available through your smartphones and get you to help combat the problem.

Welcome to episode 17 where today I present to you a dear friend of mine whose accolades include Editor of an international woman’s magazine Nourrir, which she runs as a passion project while maintaining her corporate career with Oracle.

She experienced an incredible life transformation during her divorce process with the help of her yoga practice, Crossfit, poetry writing as well as personal development coaching. She now someone who successfully juggles being a single mom while always making time for herself. The same woman a decade ago was unable to be herself within her marriage. What changed?

I hope my podcast can not only spotlight the success stories of strong women, but also show us how they did it. One of the most important things she learned in her transformation journey was an effective mindset shift that helped her express herself, particularly when she felt vulnerable in her marriage and still effective today with her son.

Here today to share that ever critical life skill is my dear friend, Freya Innana.

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to a new season of Janda Becanda.

I am super delighted to bring for the first and second episodes of this season my dearest friend, one of the funniest, dearest and most tough women I know to share her personal story as a Janda. She and I are childhood friends who became widows in the same year. She candidly shared the highs and lows of her experience in these 11 roller-coaster years. Her real talk was so good I had to split it up into two parts.

Since the passing of her husband she has co-founded the successful fashion label Pofeleve and managed the internationally renowed Magenta Orchestra. Too good to broadcast only once, here is Poppy Hanadhy.
