💬 Quote from the Episode:

“Authenticity is expressing yourself to the highest degree—without reservation for the beauty that is you—within a functional unit, within a community.”

📜 Summary:
In this heartfelt and refreshingly real solo episode, Nicholas Wade Kimps—the original DIVO—returns to the mic on Earth Day with reflections from the front lines of launching a wellness studio. He explores the essence of authenticity: not as brutal honesty or impulsive expression, but as fully inhabiting your role within your greater ecosystem—be that your family, your workplace, or your yoga studio.

Nicholas draws inspiration from nature, Ayurveda, and Patanjali’s yoga to illustrate how true authenticity is less about volume and more about alignment. When you're living your "why," the effort becomes energizing. When you're not, everything feels heavy.

Whether you're a wellness pro, seeker, student, or new listener, this episode will help you rethink what it means to "be yourself"—and why community thrives when each person lives into their unique rhythm.
