In this powerful and emotionally charged episode of Think Tank Podcast, Robert sits down with Moroccan–French actress and activist Ouidad Elma for a raw and honest conversation filmed in Casablanca. Together they explore the global moment we are living through, a time marked by crisis, awakening, and the increasing need for courage, compassion, and truth. Ouidad speaks openly about the importance of using her voice to stand against injustice, particularly in relation to the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza, and reflects on the personal and professional pressures that arise when choosing to speak authentically in a world that often demands silence.
The discussion moves through themes of collective trauma, spirituality, religion, and the universal origins of humanity. Robert and Ouidad examine what it means to move through a “dark night of the soul” as a planet, how shadow integration plays a role in personal and societal healing, and why awakening the throat chakra — the voice — has become such a symbolic and necessary act in these times. Ouidad also shares her ongoing work advocating for animal rights in Morocco and her belief in the sacredness of all life, further grounding the conversation in compassion and conscious responsibility.
This episode is heartfelt, challenging, and deeply resonant. It invites viewers to reflect on truth, integrity, and the role each of us plays in shaping a more awakened and humane world.
