Episode 7: Cleo Wade
Returning to the Self with Cleo Wade
In this soulful, expansive, and joyfully real episode, Dr. Nigma sits down with the woman who has been called the poet of her generation by Time Magazine, a best-selling author and poet whose work explores hope, resilience and the power of love.
From childhood poetry camps to chlorophyll, from the pressure to homogenize to the power of weirdness, Cleo shares her rituals, reflections, and refreshingly honest takes on self-expression, self-care, and the brilliance of nature.
Her books include Heart Talk, Where to Begin, What the Road Said, Remember Love: Words for Tender Times, and May You Love and Be Loved can be found wherever you buy books.
Together, they explore what it means to glow from the inside out—without sacrificing your soul in the process.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink, fit in, or erase yourself to belong… this episode is your permission slip to come home to you.
