The Daily Ketchup

Why would someone leave the stability of a teaching job to chase a dream on social media, armed with nothing but science facts, a ring light, and a love for the wild things in Singapore?In this episode, we talk to Kong Man Jing — better known as Biogirl MJ — the former science teacher turned eco-content queen who’s made it her life’s mission to make science fun, local, and accessible. She shares how she took the leap of faith to become a full-time creator after placing her trust in an agency that eventually ghosted her. We also find out how her business partner is actually her fiancé, whether she really wears yellow polka dots every day, and what it’s like being hated on for simply posting science facts online.MJ opens up about how she chooses which fun facts make it into her videos, the challenges of being told she’s too direct at work, and how a friend publicly disagreed with one of her educational videos. She also reveals what she’s working on beyond content creation, how she’s helping Singaporeans reconnect with nature, and the time she brought a UK commissioner on a mangrove otter tour.And yes — we even got a face reveal… without her glasses.Visit Shaping Hearts here: https://bit.ly/ShapingHeartsIG

What is reincarnation and how many past lives do we have? Are aura cleanses real or just a scam? Is meditation just mindfulness with a prettier name?

Can karma be broken or healed? How do you forgive someone who’s never apologised? Plus we explore ancient breathwork techniques for longevity, how reiki and meditation actually work, and why spirituality isn't about blind belief but remembering who you really are.
