Did you ever find yourself in a heated conversation involving money? We definitely have… And we found that many times our throats tightened, our jaws clenched, our breathing became shallower and our heart rate rose… For others, it might be the opposite, completely tuning out with glassy eyes and feeling increasingly distant from what is happening… Does any of this feel familiar?  So maybe just take a moment to ask yourself, what is money for me? Is it just a number on a piece of paper that we can use to exchange for stuff we want?  If it was, then we wouldn’t be either so attached, or detached from it. Ask yourself again, do you feel comfortable talking about money with your parents, your siblings, your friends, your peers, strangers?  As the audio clip from the critically acclaimed TV show Mad Men illustrates, there’s something more than meets the eye about money. Something that either gets us to avoid the topic altogether even when our world is going down in flames, or to get super emotional about it. And that’s why it’s high time we started talking about money, and our relationship with it, right here, in the Liku-Liku Podcast. Enjoy. This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck. Facts matter for sure, but equally or even more importantly, we want to put all options on the table and relate openly about what we may have missed as a result of our unescapable biases and other horse blinders. This is a place where we revisit what we thought we understood or knew, in order to spark new growth. As usual, please note that this is not a replacement for adequate treatment, so please get in touch with someone qualified to help you if you are struggling more than you should. This includes seeing a doctor for medical attention or seeking therapy for affective and mental health challenges. #StaySafe If you want to send a message, you can do so through the Anchor page below, where you can anonymously share a voice memo.

Do you ever wonder what made you who you currently are? Was it mostly your genes, or your upbringing? Or was it the people you ended up mingling with? A worthwhile topic for contemplation, and one not easy to answer conclusively with a generic blanket statement! So we do this work of discovery here, relating with real people. Previously on the Liku-Liku Podcast, we talked to Melanie Yap, a volunteer with a mental and emotional support group in Sabah (Malaysia) about the story of her life, growing up being the elder sibling. Melanie quickly took on the mantle of being a caretaker for almost everyone around her: for her brother upon her parents’ divorce, the different groups she joined in school, her friends… And that must have somehow led her to volunteering with a mental health support group, what do you think? You can listen to the whole story in Part 1 of her interview. But mainly, what Melanie wants to talk about is the lack of the same care and support for mental health workers and volunteers in their organization, including stigmatization. Have a listen to this second part of her interview where we talk in depth about this, mental health in general and our attitude surrounding the topic of people-pleasing and more. Enjoy. This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck. Facts matter for sure, but equally or even more importantly, we want to put all options on the table and relate openly about what we may have missed as a result of our unescapable biases and other horse blinders.

Have you recently had the chance to be on the receiving end of an open hearted exchange in which you felt heard and seen? These experiences can do wonders to relieve our ever-increasing stress levels. And yet, we often don't even think about the other person when we're absorbed in our painful experiences. By now, the topic of mental health has become so widely spoken, which is a good thing, but it's also very much focused on those suffering from mental health and no focus at all on those providing the mental health care and support. Honestly, I don't think we even think about it. How mental health workers and supporters are also human and therefore have their mental health to deal with too. This is a very subtle topic, as it is obviously not the responsibility of the person receiving mental health care to listen to their professional caregivers. That's why we are excited to share with you this conversation we had with Melanie Yap, who is a volunteer with a mental health support organization in Sabah. There's a lot to unpack, but for this first part, let's hear about Melanie's background from being raised in a divorced parents environment and how that shapes her outlook of the world as she grows older and more. Have a listen. This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck. Facts matter for sure, but equally or even more importantly, we want to put all options on the table and relate openly about what we may have missed as a result of our unescapable biases and other horse blinders.

Does it ever feel to you like Life’s some kind of cruel game whose rules are unknown, unclear and unfair? Like some kind of Battle Royale a la Squid Games in which we are all somehow pitted against one another striving for our individual survival at the expense of everyone else’s? Well, that is somehow weaved into the narrative that we consciously or unconsciously choose to tell ourselves, in this game of Truth or Consequences. And seeing where we are and where we are headed, it seems that despite Truth being at the core of many of our beliefs and pillars of our society (Justice, Science, Religion, etc), it appears we haven’t been so good at the game and are facing dire Consequences… And yet, if we clearly lay out the map of how things are, we can see that it may not be an entirely inescapable fate, and that there is hope yet to achieve the true potential of humanity’s unique abilities. This is what we discuss today in this Part 2 of our episode on the shift of our World’s narratives. Have a listen. This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck.

Do you remember ever being part of a shouting match (as a rebellious teenager or perhaps the parent on the other side) involving a "You're going to tell me the truth right now!" quickly followed by a "... Or ELSE??!!!". We definitely can relate, as it is, for better or worse, one of the games that we human beings can't seem to quit playing... Truth or Consequences, which we named this episode after, is not only a TV game but it's also the name of a town in the US, and a phrase that describes the lifestyle that many people around the world have chosen to live by. It represents the shattered dreams, lofty goals and golden aspirations of our forefathers that were based on the ideals adopted from their leaders. However, these ideals have resulted in a short-sighted vision for Humanity, leaving a struggling to deny our shadows and realize our shortcomings. As a result, we are left with a lifetime of work to find the truth within ourselves and shed light on the path of our own redemption and Healing. In this week's episode, we will explore the concept of Truth or Consequences and delve deeper into its implications for our lives. Join us, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities of finding our own truth, and living a life that is authentic, and fulfilling. Thank you so much for being here and let's begin our journey towards self-discovery and growth. This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck. Facts matter for sure, but equally or even more importantly, we want to put all options on the table and relate openly about what we may have missed as a result of our unescapable biases and other horse blinders.

When's the last time things went according to your plans? Woody Allen famously said "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans", and we can wholeheartedly relate... Our experience is that even for the most meticulous planners, life is often unpredictable and can seem to make a joke out of our desire for certainty! And it might be for the best... Either way, to accommodate and adjust to these life’s Liku-Liku twists and turns, we have to pause and ponder, and take the time to take stock of what we’ve been through, what we’ve learned both good and bad, and admire the beauty in the small things. In this way, we pave the way for a better future, with more of what we want and less of what we don't want... This is what we do in today’s episode, looking back on the previous year of podcasting, but also hopefully modeling how to write our narrative together in a way that makes us feel more connected each time, whether microphones are involved or not. Enjoy!

Life works in mysterious ways… Or does it? Sometimes it takes time and perspective to peel the veil of mystery and gain clarity, don’t you think? Abang Rahino (aka Mas Rino) is a great illustration of this. So after we learned in the last episode about Mas Rino’s challenging childhood experiences during difficult times, today we get to discover how these early days shaped his latter days. Mas Rino’s vision of the world as one rife with conflicts contributed - consciously or unconsciously - to a yearning for Peace, which landed him in post-2004-Tsunami Aceh as part of the Trauma Relief team for the victims. The story goes on to show us that no matter how different and distant we feel we are from each other, we are all interconnected, and our struggles as human beings reflect the same sentiment. We hope this story can help you make sense of the world, and encourage you to piece together your own story. Have a listen.

Have you learned something new today? Life is, after all, a series of fortunate and unfortunate learnings. Wouldn’t you agree? In this episode, we have a special guest to learn from. Abang Rahino, or Mas Rino is the youngest of eight children born through the marriage of two prominent Indonesian artists and activists, S. Sudjojono and Mia Bustam, whose works are known nationally and internationally in the 1950s and 60’s. That might sound like it's a really long time ago and not so relatable. But we found Mas Rino’s story to be nothing short of fascinating, giving us insights to how life was like in Indonesia during that troubled period. We get peak into his life as the youngest child of very politically and creatively outspoken and involved parents, and how that kind of involvement affected their marriage and family dynamics to the point of having extramarital affairs and eventually divorce. What was Mas Rino’s felt experience, as a child, having to witness his mother being forcefully taken away from him, and for them to have to almost forget about each other for years? There's just so much to unpack in Mas Rino's story, and we hope that you will listen to the entire story. But for now, this is part one. Enjoy.

Wisdom. Is that something that you would like to have, or have more of? We certainly feel that way and attaining wisdom is one of the goals of our daily practices so that we may live a better, more purposeful life. However, according to Socrates, one of the most famous philosophers from Ancient Greece, the only wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. This statement challenges us to question our assumptions and keep an open mind to new knowledge and experiences. In today's fast paced world, it's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking we know everything we need to know. But Socrates reminds us that there is always more to learn, and any knowledge we do have may be insignificant or even false compared to what we have yet to discover. So we invite you to join us as we delve into the power of curiosity, learning and growth. Together, let's explore how we can apply Socrates’ timeless teachings to our personal and professional lives. By opening our minds and hearts to new ideas, we can bring more light to the shadows and gain clarity in our views. So let's dive in and discover the transformative power of Socratic wisdom. This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck. Facts matter for sure, but equally or even more importantly, we want to put all options on the table and relate openly about what we may have missed as a result of our unescapable biases and other horse blinders.

Do you sometimes pause to think about the things you don't know? Sometimes it feels like we are stuck because we just don't know enough to be able to move forward. A vast sea of emptiness lies in front of us. Other times, there's too much we know and confusion just paralyzes us. Too much information. And yet, what may be the biggest threat to our growth and existence may be something else altogether : what we don't know we don't know... Although we do not really align with former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's world view, he does make an impactful statement about blind spots in our knowledge. For every bit of knowledge we think we possess, there's just so much more out there that we do not know. By immersing ourselves in learning and growth, we can become open to the unexpected, grow through uncomfortable experiences. With this process of letting go of what we think we know, of being open to unlearn and be curious instead of coiling in fear at the things we don't know or have yet understand, we can heal ourselves. We can know our values and develop a stronger and more compassionate sense of who we are to make it through the Liku-Liku twists and turns of our lives. And for this, we are grateful. This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck.
