Operating in the Genius Zone with Johnny Tan

Language of the Soul Podcast

Guest Johnny Tan seasoned this week's episode, like a good recipe, with anecdotes of family nurturance. From the Malaysian kitchen of his childhood through those of the nine strong women he went on to call Mom, these culturally rich tales were not just about the food that passed his lips but also the recipes--life lessons-- that have fed his soul. This wealth of nurturing guidance led to the creation of his cookbook, 'From My Mama's Kitchen,' a celebration of the stories that bind us, the resilience that sustains us, and the many forms of maternal love that guide us through life. We delve into profound themes of consciousness, authenticity, ethics and the value of the past, acknowledging that past, present and future are inextricable. We ponder the mind's default mode network and how it defines our sense of self. We consider the therapeutic power of writing and reflect on the responsibility in honoring the history that shapes our future. This episode is as much about laughter and celebration as the deep-seated values and experiences that make us who we are.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
This podcast is a labor of love. You can help us spread the word about the power of story to transform. Your donation, however big or small, will help us build our platform and thereby get the word out. Together, we can change the world…one heart at a time!
