Podcast Overview

Deep. Raw. Calling on love to talk about difficult topics and pressing issues with personal stories.  “I think there is nothing more powerful than for us to bring ourselves into the change that we are advocating for.. our personal experience also informs the person(s) we are talking to that there is a human dimension that must be taken care of in the discussion - that this is not just another intellectual talkfest." - Anthea Based on her eponymous book 50 Shades of Love, former parliamentarian and social advocate Anthea brings her own lived experience from a chapter of the book to each episode and invites a guest to share their personal stories on pressing issues of our times. As a shameless treehugger, Anthea delights in pairing a tree to each chapter of her book and shares this with the listeners.  This Shades of Love podcast is an invitation to those who dare to care and question 'why am I here?'. Let’s explore this journey of Love together. About the host:  Anthea Ong is a self-proclaimed mad hatter because of the multiple hats she wears as a former parliamentarian, social advocate and entrepreneur, impact investor, author and former corporate leader. As a Nominated Member of Parliament for the 13th Parliament of Singapore between 2018–2020, she spoke at every parliamentary sitting delivering 36 speeches and raised 120 parliamentary questions on mental health, LGBTQ+, migrant workers, sex workers, youth activism, the digital divide and many less convenient issue. As a social entrepreneur, she founded and co-created communities and social enterprises such as SG Mental Health Matters, Welcome in My Backyard, Hush TeaBar, the WorkWell Leaders Workgroup, A Good Space, Playground of Joy, and Project Yoga-on-Wheels. She also served as President of the Women’s Initiative for Ageing Successfully (WINGS) from 2014 to 2017 which helps women embrace ageing with confidence, was the Founding Board Member of Daughters of Tomorrow, a registered charity that provides individualised coaching to vulnerable women and served on committees for National Council of Social Service, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, Social Service Institute and many more.  An intrepid traveller across all seven continents including being part of a climate change expedition to Antarctica in 2018, Anthea still says she's just a full-time human, and part-time everything else.  Follow us on @50solove on Instagram.  www.antheaong.com  www.50shadesoflove.org<hr> Hosted on Acast.

ACCEPT with Yip Pin Xiu

In this episode based on the book chapter called ACCEPT, I am joined by Yip Pin Xiu, gold medalist Paralympian. “When I think of who I would love to have a conversation with on this shade of love of self-acceptance, independence and triumph, I immediately thought of my fellow Nominated Member of Parliament and dear friend whom I hang out with at our favourite vegan restaurant called Loving Hut in Joo Chiat Road, Yip Pin Xiu. Pin Xiu is a three-time Paralympic gold medallist in swimming and holds two world records. Her early successes sparked public debate about the treatment and recognition of disabled athletes in Singapore which brought about changes in the funding support and award amounts for these athletes. As an NMP, Pin Xiu spoke up for the sports community at large, persons with disabilities and gender equality.” Join us on a discovery of self-acceptance and self-improvement. We share our personal stories of self acceptance without exclusions and how we view self doubt in this day and age. Also come find out why the Mangosteen Tree is paired with this shade of love in the book! MY INVITATION TO YOU: How comfortable are you with your own company? What about you are you grateful for? What makes you trust you? RESOURCES: SG Enable <a href= "https://www.sgenable.sg/Pages/Home.aspx">https://www.sgenable.sg/Pages/Home.aspx</a>

THRIVE with Stephane de Montlivault

In this episode based on the book chapter called THRIVE, I am joined by Stephane de Montlivault, Asia Pacific President of OTIS. “When I was thinking of who I would like to have a conversation with on this shade of love, more than a few leaders I know came to mind yet I don’t think we can talk about thriving without discussing the climate and mental health crisis that we are facing, and unpacking the responsibility and purpose of leadership. So my friend, Stephane de Montlivault, came to mind. Stephane is French but has not lived in France for 2/3 of his life, he now lives in Singapore with his Singaporean wife Ivy, daughter Aimee and son Alban. He shared with me how he constantly craves to expand his purpose in life, through and beyond family and career. And we both share a deep conviction in championing workplace mental wellbeing as a leadership priority at the WorkWell Leaders community of CEOs and leaders that I started 3 years ago. Stephane is also the Asia Pacific President of Otis, yes the 167 year old elevator company founded and listed in New York.” Join us on a discovery of thriving in balance, complete leadership and corporate stewardship. We dive deep into our childhood and how it has shaped our views of the world, followed by a discussion on authentic leadership, business as a force for good and sustainability, and sustainability initiatives in businesses. Also come find out why the Olive Tree is paired with this shade of love in the book! MY INVITATION TO YOU: What do people thank you for? What can you give yourself more credit for?

SEEK with Imran Taib

In this episode based on the book chapter called SEEK, I am joined by Imran Taib, a philosopher and an interfaith and multiculturalism expert to explore the realm of religion and spirituality with empathy and curiosity. “When I was thinking of who I would like to have a conversation with on this shade of love on religion, spirituality and humanity, I immediately thought of my learned friend whom I enjoy these conversations of spirituality and religion with - he’s none other than Mohamed Imran Mohamed Taib. Imran already had a sterling reputation as one of Singapore’s foremost interfaith and multiculturalism experts when I first reached out to him to meet after stepping down from Parliament. I was then increasingly concerned with some of the right wing and conservative ideas that I was hearing from certain religious groups and wanted to understand more from him. You know how you conjure up these images of religious scholars with long beards and robes? Imran completely disappoints when he showed up looking no different to my kawans from the neighbourhood. In fact, when I later moderated the Civil Society conversation after the general elections in 2020, I asked all the 9 panelists of which Imran was one of them to describe themselves in a 7-word biography - his first attempt was “Enjoys robust conversations over teh tarik” - how interesting is that? Imran is also the co-founder of Centre for Interfaith Understanding or CIFU which strives to strengthen the multi-religious fabric that weaves all of Singapore together by advocating for deeper discourse among various faiths through dialogue, training and curriculum development.” Join us as we explore the difference between spirituality, religion and culture, topped with our personal stories of our path to discover our versions of religion. Also, come find out why the Epiphyte is paired with this shade of love in the book! MY INVITATION TO YOU: What does religion and spirituality mean to you? Is there a difference? What beliefs help you move forward and what holds you back?
