In this conversation with Shawnrey Notto, we explore the power of pleasure, cultivating intimacy inside of complexity, creating safety and belonging (without having to fit-in), and so much more.

In this episode, we discuss:

:: How both sameness AND difference can create safety and growth, and how to know what’s most nourishing for us.

:: Creating safety in our bodies in an unsafe world, and why that matters

:: The tension and the medicine of belonging, and the difference between belonging and fitting in

:: The life experiences that have shaped Shawnrey’s work and her understanding of the deep importance and power of pleasure.

Ep 4: Allowing for the Creative “Gap” When We’re Starting Out

So often with our creative projects, we’re such lovers of the medium (ex. books) and such fans of “the greats” (ex. authors), that we hold ourselves back because our bar is so high.

In this solo-episode, Nisha reflects on the ways we can move past our creative hesitation or frozenness around the projects in front of us...

In this episode, you’ll hear:

:: The apparent-paradox of liberating our freedom to be imperfect, while also walking the path of integrity

:: A personal story of when Nisha was stopped-in-her-tracks in a creative project, and how we can develop shame resilience by cultivating an inner voice of encouragement.

:: The role of Creative Cheerleaders (and how to create your squad)

:: Why working WITH fears is important to the process (vs. “smashing” / “crushing” them)

:: Why your skill in executing may have nothing to do with your talent

:: A random and embarrassing story of when Nisha met her “celebrity” crush... who also turns out to be one of her way-showers around creating imperfectly.

Ep 6: An Intimate Story - My Father’s Death

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...
