    Ep 25: A Holy Wail - Reckoning with the Epstein Files & the Sexual Shadow of Men w/ Ian MacKe

    Episode Description Join myself and Ian MacKenzie, as we jam on the power of anticapitalist visioning and taking care of ourselves inside capitalism. In this episode, we riff on… The collective "quiet heaviness" and nervous system exhaustion felt in the wake of the Epstein files and global revelations of exploitation. Why Nisha feels a "holy wail" of rage rather than shock, as these headlines mirror patterns women have navigated for a lifetime. The danger of distancing ourselves from "bad actors" and how that prevents us from seeing the micro-ways domination exists in our own communities. Ian's reflection on moving from being a "good man" who points fingers to a man who stands with others to say, "Brother, we can do better." A story from Nisha's youth about the "parking lot code" and how social pressure often forces men to choose status over the truth. An analysis of the "alpha" performance—using figures like Andrew Tate—as a mask for deep-seated anxiety and a desperate need for control. How we have all internalized systems of domination and extraction, even in our most personal relationships and parenting. Why we often use outrage as a "safe" way to avoid the deeper, more transformative vulnerability of collective grief. The unique healing and "dropping of the guard" that happens in single-gender spaces when the performance for the other is removed. Exploring "matriarchy" as the fundamental antidote to patriarchy—shifting from a culture of domination to one that centers the protection of life. The shift from "power over" to "power with," moving from ego-driven heroism to leadership rooted in service to the whole. A closing vision of "soft-bellied" freedom—the ability to live without armor and build a world that prioritizes the well-being of all children.

    Ep 21: Cultivating resonance with/in your work

    Bringing you solo episode musings on how we can cultivate deep resonance with our work – both within ourselves and with others. In this episode, I riff on… How terrifying it can be to bring through and share our deepest work, especially in a death-phobic "culture" that avoids feeling the depths of our terror Making the profound shift from relating to your work as a gambler playing slot machines, to relating as a gardener tending a garden Why conventional marketing does not work (on so many levels) for folks whose work takes people into the depths The intricate and incorruptible relationship between bringing forward your deepest work, and relating to your work on a deep level (and how to cultivate that good-relating)   You can find the show notes from this episode over at:  nishamoodley.com/ep21 ––– RESOURCES + LINKS: Join our NEW offering, DEVOTED - A 6 Week Journey to Unearth + Birth Your Deepest Work, here: nishamoodley.com/devoted/  Nisha mentions her dear mentor, Hiro Boga, who you can find here: hiroboga.com/  ––– IF YOU ENJOY DEVOTION PODCAST… We would love for you to rate and review it!  This helps more people find it and give it a chance.

    Ep 19: Anti-Hustle Business Growth w/ Jadah Sellner

    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 You can find the show notes from this episode over at:  nishamoodley.com/ep19 ––– RESOURCES + LINKS: Check out Jadah's new book, She Builds, and find her on Instagram here.
