Nidala

Episode 12: Reconciliation

“To reconcile with others, we must reconcile with ourselves”

Musician, activist and gardener Nidala joins me for the last episode of Season 1 for a chat that completely opened my heart and mind.

We dove straight in, from the first minute, talking about the concept of taking what’s not needed anymore, letting it die and using it to grow new life. This, in itself, is such a powerful concept and Nidala has an incredible way of sharing profound and important ideas in ways that make complete since.

It’s simple. We allow the natural processes of life to unfold.

I found myself getting emotional, more than once, during this chat. When we started talking about the feeling of disconnection that we can so often experience in our personal relationships I was instantly in that place of loneliness and hurt. What was so powerful for me was Nidala explaining that one of the only ways to re-connect with others and the Earth is to reconnect with ourselves.

Conversations like this are EXACTLY why I started this podcast. It’s about sharing ideas, and our own experiences and wisdom to benefit the collective.

When I think about who I’m going to ask, to chat on the podcast, I’m always thinking about what each guests super power is. Like, what’s THEIR gift? I don’t mean songwriting, singing, producing etc…. I mean, how do they see into the soul of humanity?

Nidala talked about this exact concept, in a conversation around worth. The idea that we all have an inherent worth and whether or not we understand that determines whether or not we share ourselves fully with the world.

“What are we doing, in our every day life, that reflects our inherent worth?”

Honestly, my head is still spinning after this chat. Nidala uses music as a tool for reconciliation - but she lives and breathes it in her every day life. Accessing connection to self, the earth, humanity…. it’s always there - we just have to be open to it.
