PLANETSANG

By PLANETSANG

Planetsang began as a stage name when I hosted my high school talent show. Later it became my online identity (yes, I’ve been around since the early days of the internet!). It became the perfect name for my podcast—a space where I share my thoughts on relationships, marriage, parenting, divorce, coping with loneliness & balancing domestic and professional life. Recently, art has become the thread that ties my life together, helping me find my way back to myself. This podcast was born from inspirations of personal insights, reflections about the joys and challenges of life.

Burn your Offenses S9E7 #130

Burn your Offenses S9E7 #130

Walk with me, as I journey through wrestling with identity while I'm learning to surrender offense and pain.

This episode is for anyone who's ever been hurt, misunderstood, or left holding pieces of a broken past. It’s about finding a strategy for healing that I'm also learning to apply in my own season.

Broken to Blooming S9E6 #129

Broken to Blooming S9E6 #129

Life surrounds us with hurts, pain, and trauma — and sometimes it feels like we’re walking through it alone. But no matter how deep the ache, there is always hope.
Our hope in Christ can carry us — even when we don’t feel it, even when we question it. He is there. He never lets go.

This June, I’m hosting a creative devotional series called Broken to Blooming on my Eat Pray Art WhatsApp group. This 30-day devotional and art journaling challenge is designed for anyone moving through heartbreak, loss, or transition. It combines daily Bible verses with thoughtful journal prompts and floral-themed art activities.

Eat Pray Art is a channel on What's App and you are welcome to join and get the resources daily for free: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VagDlti3WHTSlQjGW413

Every day, I’ll share a Bible verse and a flower, along with a journaling prompt.

You’ll be invited to draw, doodle, write, or reflect—whatever feels good to your soul.

Just 10 minutes a day. A gentle rhythm of grace.

No fancy supplies are needed. Some days will be light. Some will stretch you. But every day will be a step toward reclaiming your heart and honoring your story.

Because you are allowed to bloom, even if you still feel broken. Especially then.

Thank you for sharing this space with me today. If this touched you, share it with someone who may need a reminder that they’re not alone.

If you'd to get the PDF's or to gift someone they are also on sale on my Gumroad page (but these will be available for free on the group every day this June 2025)

Burn Out | Planetsang E04S09 #127

Burn Out | Planetsang E04S09 #127

Burnout is more than just exhaustion—it’s the point where your mind and body say, "I can't do this anymore." In this episode, I dive deep into what burnout really is, why it happens, and how it affects different professions, from high-stress corporate jobs to teachers, journalists, and even full-time homemakers.

I share my personal experiences of burnout—from the relentless demands of working in media to the unseen exhaustion of managing a home and parenting. We often talk about workplace burnout, but what about the burnout that comes from emotional labor, household responsibilities, and societal expectations?

Join me as I explore the importance of rest, setting boundaries, and reclaiming time for yourself—whether that means taking a much-needed break, embracing small moments of joy, or simply learning to say "no" when needed. If you've ever felt drained, overwhelmed, or like you're running on empty, this conversation is for you.

🔹 What burnout looks like in different walks of life
🔹 How I recovered from extreme burnout in my media career
🔹 The hidden burnout of homemakers and caregivers
🔹 Practical ways to reset, recharge, and prevent burnout

Let’s break the cycle together. Tune in now!

I Love Traffic, Noise more than Fresh Air & Raw Nature E03S09 #126

I Love Traffic, Noise more than Fresh Air & Raw Nature E03S09 #126

Most people dream of escaping to nature, but me? I dream of city lights, honking horns, and the comforting chaos of urban life. After growing up in a nature-filled boarding school at Woodstock all my school years, I was ready to swap sunrises and serenity for the fast-paced buzz of city streets.

In this episode, I share my experience of revisiting rustic nature—specifically a raw, wild place like Nilshi—and why it made me appreciate pollution, convenience, and the simple joy of having my own bathroom nearby. From the fear of wild animal encounters to missing the predictability of city life, I break down the real reasons why fresh air isn’t always as refreshing as it sounds.

So if you've ever secretly preferred skyscrapers over stargazing, or if you just love a good debate on nature vs. city living, tune in! Let’s talk about why some of us are just meant for the urban jungle.

🎧 Listen now & let me know—are you Team Nature or Team City Chaos?

What is my value? ChatGPT helps me find out S08E12 #124

What is my value? ChatGPT helps me find out S08E12 #124

Here's the Transcription of this session

Sang: what is my value ?

ChatGPT: As a language model AI developed by OpenAI, I don't have personal information about individuals unless it has been shared in the course of our conversation. I don't have the ability to assess personal worth or values. Each person is unique and valuable in their own way, and your value is not something that can be determined by an AI. Your worth is multifaceted and influenced by your relationships, accomplishments, character, and more. If you have specific questions or topics you'd like information or advice on, feel free to ask!

Sang: I'm a video editor, a photographer, a writer, an illustrator and a children's book author. What is my value and how can I add value to other people's lives

ChatGPT: Your diverse skill set as a video editor, photographer, writer, illustrator, and children's book author is undoubtedly valuable. Here are some ways you can add value to other people's lives:

  1. Tell Compelling Stories: Utilize your skills in video editing, photography, writing, and illustration to tell engaging and meaningful stories. Whether it's through visual content, articles, or children's books, storytelling has the power to entertain, educate, and inspire.

  2. Capture Moments: As a photographer, you can capture special moments in people's lives, preserving memories that will be cherished for years to come. Your ability to capture emotions and create visually stunning images adds significant value to individuals and families.

  3. Educate and Inspire: Share your knowledge and expertise in video editing, writing, and illustration. Create tutorials, guides, or articles that help others learn and improve their skills. Inspiring and educating others in your field can be incredibly valuable.

  4. Create Engaging Content: With your video editing and illustration skills, you can produce content that captivates audiences. Whether it's for entertainment, education, or marketing purposes, engaging content has the power to connect with people and leave a lasting impression.

  5. Children's Book Authorship: Your role as a children's book author allows you to contribute to the development and imagination of young minds. Through your books, you can instill important values, promote diversity, and create a positive impact on children's lives.

  6. Offer Creative Solutions: Use your creativity to solve problems. Whether it's designing visually appealing materials, crafting compelling narratives, or developing innovative concepts, your creative skills can provide solutions in various contexts.

  7. Collaborate and Share: Collaborate with other creatives and share your knowledge and experiences. Building a community and supporting others in your field can enhance the overall value you bring to the creative community.

Remember that your value extends beyond your skills – it includes your unique perspective, creativity, and the positive impact you can have on individuals and communities. Continuously honing your craft and staying open to new ideas and collaborations will contribute to your ongoing growth and the value you bring to others.

Sang: if you can sum up what my one core job can be what would it be

ChatGPT: Your core job, considering your diverse skill set, could be seen as a "Creative Storyteller." In this role, you integrate your skills in video editing, photography, writing, and illustration to craft compelling and engaging stories across various mediums. Whether through visual content, written narratives, or children's books, your focus is on conveying messages, emotions, and ideas that resonate with and add value to your audience's lives.

Sang: thank you so much for this insight! this REALLY helps

ChatGPT: You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that the insights were helpful. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with, feel free to ask. Best of luck with all your creative endeavors!

In conclusion I am atleast in 2024 a "Creative Storyteller"

Procrastination the Killer of Creativity S08E08 #120

Have you ever thought of doing something and you don’t get to it immediately and you end up never doing it? The moment you struggle to do something it’s probably because of left it to the last minute.
This can be detrimental to your job or relationships and end up being the reason you have a lot of drama because you’re not doing the thing you promised you would.

This is also a silent killer for creativity.

The Boarding School Impact #115 S08E03

A few weeks ago someone called me asking me about sending her daughter to my boarding school. I had a lot to say about that and thought this was the perfect to ask a few friends to chime in so I asked around my friends and family circle to answer these key questions. 

  1. How my boarding has shaped me to be an adult
  2. Is it a blessing or a stumbling block?
  3. Would I send my kids to a boarding school?

Thank you our contributors: Manju Sujith, Meetu (Mitanjali Goveia), Malcolm Ovichegan, Steve, Dayanand Peter, Paul Ghugloth, Sufi, Johaan Palmer, Nigel Kumar, George Ghugloth and Zoe Tehila for their inputs too. 

Listening to so many perspectives sharing their pros and cons has been a revelation and has made me understand so much more. Hope you enjoy listening to this!
