Jane Goodall: She Spent Her Life with Chimpanzees – What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human
The New Normal by Laura Malina Seiler - En podcast av Laura Malina Seiler - Torsdagar
She dreamed of living with animals. Everyone told her it was impossible. Today, she’s one of the most respected voices in the world.
In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Dr. Jane Goodall — renowned primatologist, environmentalist, and UN Messenger of Peace — to talk about what chimpanzees taught her about humanity, hope, and our role on this planet.
We explore how to stay optimistic in the face of global crisis, why every small action matters, and what it truly means to listen to your inner knowing — even when the world doubts you.
This conversation is a powerful invitation to reconnect with nature, lead with compassion, and protect what we love.
