Inspirational Interviews

Getting into the Mental and Emotion Fabric of Thomas Wilken, a Young Zambian Man who has dedicated his  life to Professional Hunting and Conservation. Hunting is a controversial subject, globally. It presents some major pro's and con's. Like many industries in life.  The Fashion Industry to mention one. My role as the Founder of Inspirational Interviews, and the Host of the show,  is to provide the platform for everyone to share their life story, from their own view point, and heart.   My intention is to showcase why someone dedicates their life to a certain field,  and to understand truthfully, why this thing that they do in life, is the very thing that gives my guest on the show, purpose and meaning in life. Why does it connect that person with their truth.  Isn't that what we are all searching for, meaning, purpose and truth? Take a listen, Tom is a gentleman,  and it was a pleasure to have him in the studio with me. 

We learn about life through the voice of a South African healer and  Sangoma. Fortunate Rakgomo  shares how dark her life started out. She was seven years old when she was raped.  She had never shared this story with anybody until she was an adult. Along the journey this incident manifested and when she was a young lady she tried to commit suicide.   All the stories on the show are inspirational and empowering. Take a moment to forget your own life and be inspired by Fortunates beautiful journey, where she demonstrates how she takes ownership for her life. Acknowledging all of  her gifts as a healer,  and demonstrating courage, inner power and  gratitude for her beautiful life ahead.  Find me always on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/inspirational.interviews/Find Fortunate here: Sangoma, Meta-Physical Healer/Medical Intuitive/Soul Retrieval Practitioner/Intuitive Counsellor/Holistic Massage TherapistEmail: rakgomof1@gmail.com

With the current war in the Ukraine, I felt so strongly that I needed to reach out to someone from the Ukraine and have them on the show.

Finding Purpose and meaning in the bigger picture of our life, involves love and relationships and the dynamics each one brings! We all want to be happy in life and find our purpose and do what matters. We can't go through life's journey without falling in love at least once. These love relationships all add up to who we become and where we end up, and what we want to become. These love relationships mould us and shape our future.  Love affects everything. Our choices in our careers, the ability to persevere or even to give up.  The person we choose to eat with, sleep with, make love to, laugh with, travel with - this person will affect everything. In this four part episode with Justin Venn, we hear about his life story from the moment he left school until today. Now he is a father of two children, a married man.  This is not how the story started. Through his journey, Justin shares all his decision making processes in the bigger search to find truth, authenticity, love and meaning in life.

A man's search for purpose and meaning. Justin Venn is an Iconographic Artist, and an Orthodox Priest. His journey till today has traveled mountains, and across the seas.  He has seen much darkness and a lot of light.  His search for meaning has experienced a life lived in Spanish caves.  He has become a living resident in a famous Parisian Book shop. Where he literally slept between books, sleeping and dreaming from genre to genre. This is a truly beautiful story of how a man chose to travel his own path from the day he finished school. Each step, some horrific and scary, some romantic and crazy has led Justin to a place of solidarity and ownership. Firstly, this courageous and independent adventure through life teaches us how it can give such a deep sense of purpose and integrity with self. Secondly it shows when you travel a road led by inner truth;  you will go through darkness, but you will always find the light.

Inspiration to keep going and never give up.  This conversation is a simple monologue for you, my listener.  I recently encountered a little issue which costed me ten hours of work, and long story short, no interview to present.  There were so many times I could have given up on this journey, and this time was one of them. We have become so reliant on technology in this day and age, and when it does not work, in short, we have a problem and a reason to say, I'm out.  I believe what keeps me going and finding another way, and new solutions is only because I am doing what I love. Listen in, and perhaps get a little inspiration from my own week. Say hi below guys , and tell me about the glitches you have had,  and how you overcome them.  I'd love to know!

Kim Wolhuter is a wildlife filmmaker and Producer.  He is the grandson to the late, and famous, Harry Wolhuter. The First Game Ranger in the the Kruger National Park, and author of  a world knows Autobiography, "Memories of a Game Ranger".Since the early start in Kim's career, he has been traveling Africa, capturing what we see on the various wildlife documentaries, and television wildlife series.  It is fascinating hearing his many tales. Kim talks about the ominous and harsh ghost towns of the Namibian desert, which he lived in earlier on in his career, while filming the brown hyena. Kim takes our imagination through his whole timeline. He largely also shares his love and work in the more recent months, working, up, close, personal and barefoot, with the hyena of the Zimbabwean bushveld. What we learn in this conversation is, that firstly, it is very close to Kim's heart to bring loving attention to the Hyena. Showing them off, for what they truly are. Indeed, not the scavenger and the underdog of the African bush,  that they are always made out to be. Secondly, it is of utmost importance to Kim, to protect our natural habitat and species.  Kim knows, like many other educated people, that human beings need nature to survive.  We are apart of nature, and if we do not protect our natural habitat, and it's wild species, nature will continue to exist, but it is the human being, which will eventually implode. Use Kim's fun, colourful and adventurous life story, to help you look into your own life story! To take you out of your head. I'ts just a super cool real and certainly raw life story ;) Enjoy! Inquire / Book Jen for Interviews, Moderations and ConversationsFind Kim Wolhuter here
