DEVOTION with Nisha Moodley

In this wide-ranging conversation with Christine Gutierrez, we explore the path of healing from trauma and abuse, boundaries, reclaiming aspects of our identity and expression that don’t fit in with dominant culture’s ideals, opening to deep and healthy love, and so much more.

In this episode, we discuss:

:: Christine’s journey with sobriety, and how she knew it was time to quit

:: Why the push to be “high vibe” can be violent and harmful

:: Unhooking from relationships that don’t honor our humanity

:: How our soul-knowing is liberating for the collective, and how to discern it from fear

:: Why it’s good to know the places where we can’t trust ourselves

:: The growth-edges Christine is pushing around her own pleasure

We’re baaaaaaack! With bangs and a baby, no less.

In this conversation with my dear friend, Becca Piastrelli, I share:

• The dreams, challenges, and grief of being both mothers and creators, in a village-less "culture"
• My personal grappling with pressure to be "consistent", and my growing inability to force myself to conform to hustle culture
• Why we need a "web" + leaning into community when it's hard
• Adjusting my business to honor my capacity

It’s easy to wax poetic about being anti-hustle culture, but HOW do we actually build & tend (and re-build), without burning the candle at both ends, and burning out?

In this conversation with my dear friend, Jadah Sellner, we discuss:

• Jadah’s distinction between “harmonious passion” and “obsessive passion”, and how passionate people can use compassionate scheduling to dodge the trap of workaholism (and using work to avoid life)
• How creating sanctuary spaces to work from has shifted both of our work-life harmony
• “Intentional Trade-offs”, and how we can cultivate the clarity and courage to know what opportunities to say no to, even when it doesn’t make logical sense
• The importance of both Product-Market fit AND Product-Maker fit, in the path of discerning what’s ours to do
• Pivoting, and how we can lead with love and leave with love

I don’t know about you, but the pandemic has brought me a huge opportunity to explore my ambitions on a deeper level...

Why do I want what I want?What do we want collectively, and why?Do I actually want what I say I want, really?What conditioning and wounding has impacted my longings?How can I even know whether my ambitions are truly mine?Is it even okay to hold these desires, when so many have so little?

The questions of ambition are not questions we can neatly answer, but questions we’re invited to live in.

This week’s podcast episode is an exploration on how we can live, breathe, and move within these complex questions...

In this episode, I share:

• How we can cultivate deeper self trust, while also interrogating our ambitions
• The initial “yes” that can make all the difference, and why it’s not the whole story
• Why unmapping from toxic ambition is Grief Work, and some thoughts on what we might need in order to be with it
• The profound role pleasure can play in walking us back to a deeper understanding of our deepest longings and highest vision

In these times when so many people are facing death in ways that lack the intimacy and connection we may long for, I offer a very personal story of a redemptive, beautiful, and intimate death – my father’s.

I share this with the belief that in times of crisis, we need more stories and experiences of connection, beauty, and joy... and, if this is a tender topic for you at this time, please feel free to forego this episode.

In this episode, I’ll share:

:: My journey with surrendering to my father’s dance with death

:: The rituals we did to honor his body after death

:: Our experience of having children present in his last days (and moment) of life

:: Lots of tears...
