What if the most boring parts of your day were actually the most important?
In this episode I share what unfolded during an unplanned hour of pulling weeds with my husband and how it turned into my own realisation on why negative emotions are just weeds waiting for the right conditions to be pulled.
I unpack the connection between weeds can be pests or medicine, much like unprocessed emotions that can seem like a pest but can carry real gifts once unraveled.
Episode Highlights:
- Boredom is the birthplace of creativity
- Reframing negative experiences as weeds, and why the timing matters
- The laundry sorting ritual
- Tribute to former guest Leslie Lau and his book, Pulling Weeds and Folding Laundry
If you are waiting for the right time to step into emotional processing, then this episode is for you.

The Art Of Listening To Your Body
My name is Dr. Jin Ong I’m a cathartic release therapist, professionally trained as an osteopath, psychosomatic therapist, western acupuncturist and herbalist.
I’m fascinated by the mind-body connection and how your physical body is a manifestation of your emotional state.
My aim is to create awareness to the underlying emotions behind pain, injury and disease in the body as well as behvioural dysfunctions and mental imbalances. I do this using a unique blend of eastern and western philosophies and a good dose of intuition.
I love reading the body and what it's really trying to tell us through it's physical presentation, injury, pain or illness. I call it the art of listening to your body. It's all about understanding yourself and others on a deeper level.
I guide people to recognise their purpose in the world by bringing light to the issues that hold them back. I do this through an intuitive understanding of how the body speaks to us and help clients develop their emotional awareness and take actionable steps to achieve their goals.
If you want to learn to tap into your innate intuitive sense in an easy to understand way come and join me.
Pain stories are fascinating and there is so much we can learn from them. Join me as I'm joined by inspirational people who share how their life changed after their painful experience- what they had to surrender to and how their life looks now.
