by neeta bhushan

PODCAST

Brave fam, this one is so necessary—for anyone who has ever questioned their leadership, their belonging, or their ability to receive.

What if leadership wasn’t about domination, hustle, and constant doing? What if it was about devotion, deep care, and learning to receive as much as we give? That’s exactly what today’s guest, Nisha Moodley, has devoted her life’s work to teaching.

Nisha Moodley is a women’s leadership mentor, retreat facilitator, and the founder of Global Sisterhood Day. She has spent over two decades guiding women to liberate their leadership, trust in community care, and rewrite what it means to be a sovereign yet deeply connected leader. Oh, and she’s also a mama of two navigating love, co-parenting, and partnership after divorce. So yes—she gets it.

What you’ll get out of this episode… 

  • How to shift from “doing it all” to leading with devotion & ease
  • Why deep sisterhood & community care are essential (especially for women)
  • The hidden cost of hyper-independence & why learning to receive is powerful AF
  • Practical ways to build a support system that actually supports you
  • How to redefine leadership—so it works for you, your family & your life
  • An inside look at co-parenting, conscious relationships & dating as a single mom

Let’s get into it. 🎧✨
