Hey good human,
This week we explore identity, true self, growth, dreams, creativity, our deepest fears, unconditional love and how a near-death experience can be a call sign of service. All in under 11 minutes.
I am deeply inspired by Indigenous Australians - the world’s longest-continuous storytellers. For over 60,000 years, they have passed down their knowledge through stories—teaching, healing, and guiding communities. We begin this journey in recognition.
Let’s gather around the (virtual) campfire
Aboriginal culture continues to show us that storytelling can be a cultural practice AND a way of preserving history, nurturing connection, and sharing the life lessons that shape who we are.
By sharing lived experience wisdom, we honour that tradition of storytelling and ensure that the knowledge gained over time is not lost but carried forward to inspire and guide others.
Here at RE-TURN ON WISDOM, storytelling is the way of connecting with the heart of human experience - one conversation at a time.
Today’s episode was transformational for me. It helped me learn and grow as a human. At one stage, both of us are crying with awe. I’m certain this episode will profoundly impact your day.
Our guest is Dr Jane Su-Ming Lai (Sufira-Mingara). She came into my life at the Byron Writers Festival in a full light beam life moment. Sufira-Mingara is a proud Chinese/Larrakia/Torres Strait Islander/Arrernte woman elder. As a Metaphysician, Jungian Psychotherapist, Mindfulness Art Therapist, and Yarning Circles Leader, she runs Sacred Circle Solutions, an Australian Indigenous cultural health and well-being consultancy.
Thank you Sufira-Mingara for sharing your wisdom.
Please note this is wisdom in the wild - we celebrate real-life audio recorded in the wild.
Love Nim
