Listen by Heart | Stories from Women of the South China Sea | Peacebuilding for Mental Health
Listen in to conversations with women of the South China Sea in search of one common thread -- life purpose... Podcast host Jasmine Low speaks with women of this region, shares their stories and narrates articles from yesteryear and delves into her 10-year research into sound frequencies and how that got her to "Listen by Heart" in finding her own purpose. Were all of the women before her in search of the same goal? It's telling in the daily greeting by Nanyang migrants in their own dialects, "Have you eaten?". Is this why so many people share food pics because it's a trophy for survival?
