What If Your Wellness Isn’t Just About You? A Conversation with Nisha Mody

What if your personal wellness is intertwined with the well-being of the world around you? Nisha Mody joins for a thought-provoking conversation on the complexities of personal wellness, self-trust, and the interconnectedness of individual and collective care. Nisha reflects on the tension between privilege and responsibility, questioning how her own well-being can exist in a world filled with injustice and violence. Through themes of grief, growth, and healing, she examines how stepping into personal power — while remaining present and self-compassionate — can be an act of service to the greater whole. From navigating discomfort and discernment to redefining wellness beyond commodification, this episode invites us to consider how our own healing contributes to the world around us.

Nisha Mody (she/her) is a Life Coach for Liberatory Dreamers. She works with creatives, anticapitalists, and helpers who struggle with overachieving, people pleasing, and procrastinating about getting their amazing work out into the world because of the very systems they want to subvert (which leaves them exhausted and wondering how to meet their own needs). Nisha has had six (6!) careers, so she is an expert at trying to "figure it out"! She values growth, relationship, and liberation, and she wants YOU to know what you value so you can have relationships that sustain you, not drain you (including the relationship you have with yourself). Nisha is also a writer currently working on a memoir about her divorce and mother wound.
