Watering the Inner Garden + Cultivating Purpose through Discipline with Tchewa

Wellspringwords: The Podcast

In this episode of Wellspringwords: The Podcast, Nkem speaks with friend, fellow dancer, and fellow modern-day philosopher Tchewa on what it means to embrace life. As this season of the podcast touches on the theme of returning to wholeness, Nkem and Tchewa share their experiences and insights on cultivating a relationship with yourself, thus returning to yourself. This means cultivating discipline as it leads to your purpose and learning to forgive yourself so you can open your heart to the love all around you. One of the age-old insights the two leave listeners with is to live fully in the present moment. That one will never get old. Enjoy this spirited conversation and let us know if it brought anything to mind or heart for you in a podcast review, on Instagram, or via email at [e-mail]. Be well!
