Ep 1: The Edges I’m Walking In My Devotion (+ Lessons Learned)

We’re kicking off the podcast with some personal reflections on the ways I’m being shaped by devotion at this time. I talk about the beauty and intensity of this moment, how I’m greeting it (and sometimes fighting it), and what I’m learning along the way.

In this episode, you’ll hear me share:

:: How being mixed-race has added depth and complexity to my journey of decolonization and ancestral connection

:: Thoughts on the (BIG) difference between duty and devotion, and why only one is liberatory

:: How gardening is changing my relationship with money

:: What I’m doing to get out of the fight in my family about where to live

:: Why embracing our leadership requires turning our relationship with power on its head

:: What’s coming up for me around this podcast launch, and how I’m sourcing confidence!

Ep 3: Showing-up Amidst Intensity, Grief, and Heartbreak

We’re in tumultuous times, where so many of our foundations are shaking. Even though this tumult is hopefully ushering-in much needed change, it can also bring up so much... on top of the challenges we may face in our daily lives, and compounded by Covid.

In this solo-episode, Nisha talks about navigating grief and heartbreak, sharing personal stories, and what has supported herself and clients through times of intensity.

In this episode, Nisha shares:

:: An exploration on the “pillars of nourishment” we need to navigate grief

:: How to allow ourselves to receive when we’re resistant to it

:: Why the Grief Olympics are a toxic symptom of dominant culture’s resistance to pain

:: The role of ancestrally-rooted ritual in navigating heartbreak and grief

:: Thoughts on the assumption that pain is “soul contracted”

:: The importance of finding someone you can be annoying with ;)
