Nkem speaks with two writers and members of the Wellspringwords community, Courtney Ng and Brittany Frizzelle. The trio touches on writing as a tool vs writing as art, writing in solitude and in/with/for community, voice reclamation through writing, and so much more.

Nkem dives into an open discussion about “creative practice” from both the pragmatic and spiritual perspectives. This episode is an opportunity for learning, immersion, reflection, and creative inspiration.

Nkem speaks with Darsheel Kaur, wellness and cultural practitioner. In this conversation, they reflect on facilitation, spiritual stewardship, creative wellness, the power of rituals for maintaining self-care and mental wellness, and more.

Nkem speaks with free-spirited soul, passionate dancer, and happiness and wellness coach, Laura Kopinski. This is Laura’s second time on the podcast after 3 years and she shares insights on her healing journey from cancer, divorce, and back to her love of dance and movement.

The topic of mental wellness is still associated with shame and stigma, despite how mainstream it seems to be. Nkem and Somi candidly and with compassion share their experiences, journeys, and hopes for personal and community exploration around the subject.

Where once the experience of sensitivity may have been destabilizing and overwhelming, Nkem explores how discernment and honoring our intuitive knowing can allow us to harness the power of our sensitivities and use them as a tool for living a happy, aligned, and integrous life.

Nkem sits with herself and verbally thinks about the role “surrender” plays in her life and how she sees it playing out in the collective human journey.
