#22 Going into silence - Interview with Tibetan Buddhist Nun Venerable Khadro
“Silence gives you permission to go inwards”
Just out of a 7 days silence retreat at the Mahamudra Centre, a buddhist retreat centre in the middle of the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand, I talk to Venerable Khadro. She was our teacher and guide through the week of silence and lives as a Tibetan Buddhist Nun. But what does it mean exactly to be a Mahāyāna Tibetan Buddhist Nun?
And what does it mean to go into silence for that long? I talk about my personal experiences I had during the week of silence.
We dive deeper into buddhism knowledge and learn how we can improve our life with the practice of meditation and compassion. Ven Khadro explains the six perfections of Buddhism, which are Generosity, Ethics, Patience, Joyful Effort, Concentration and Wisdom, and how we can benefit from using them in daily life. We discuss the concept of happiness and how we can achieve inner happiness based on the transformation of heart and mind. We ponder about inner peace as well as having meaning and a purpose in life and how important it is, to be clear about our own values. We talk about how we can deal with negative charged stories in our mind when they pop up and go through some tips for our daily life in modern society.
Join in and listen to quotes of other participants who just finished the retreat...

#20 Entangled: Whales, fisheries & climate change – Interview with director David Abel
ENTANGLED – About the right whale, fishery and climate change
Today I talk to David Abel, an award-winning reporter who covers fisheries and environmental issues for The Boston Globe.
He is the director of the documentary "ENTANGLED", a feature-length film about how climate change has accelerated a collision between North America's most valubale fishery, one of the world's most endangered species – the right whale – and a federal agency mandated to protect both, which won a 2020 Jackson Wild award, known as the Oscars of nature films.
We talk about which challenges the Northern Right Whale has to face and which role climate change has. About problems caused by the fishing industry and upcoming solutions with new technologies like “rope-less fishing” and “Whale Alert apps”. We talk about “break-off lines” and what every individual can do to rise protection of these marine mammals.
David further tells us his background story of how he started making documentaries and shares tips he can give to aspiring film makers who want to spread their message with the world.

#12 It's okay not to feel okay
"It's okay not to feel okay!"
Today I share some personal thoughts I had after a pretty bad run on the mountains.
I love snowboarding since the day I stood the first time on my snowboard, ten years ago. I love being in the mountains, I love being in nature and brething in the fresh air of the snowy mountains.
But sometimes I screw myself up. My monkey mind drives me crazy and makes things up. I get into a bad circle of thoughts and body reactions.
I talk about my personal experiences on that snowboarding day. About expectations. And why it is okay just to feel bad sometimes...

#08 Sustainable Co-Working - Interview Treston Kederer
My interview guest is Treston Kederer. He grew up in the US and about two years ago he moved to Munich. A few months ago he texted me on instagram. This is what he wrote:
“Hello Julia, my name is Treston. I have been following you and your journey for the last year since I moved to Munich. I am very moved by how courageous you are, and the energy you bring to all situations of your life. You really opened up my mind and changed my perspective… With moving to Germany I was thinking about finding a corporate job to get experience, but then I realized how much waste big companies produce… in so many different aspects. I really took my time to make sure I ended up somewhere I like, that aligns with my values. I am now with Twostay Coworking that is a start-up founded in Munich.”
I invited him to my podcast to hear more about his personal story and the sustainable concept of Twostay Co-working.

Special Birthday Edition
I am 30 years old now. How do I feel about that and what is my personal way to celebrate that?

What does a child think about the fact that, if we don't change our behaviour, in 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean? Let's find out!
Nine years old - and so honest, brave & wise.
