Through the lens of yoga, Ayurveda, and lived experience, he invites us to loosen our grip on inherited frameworks, habitual labeling, and societal binaries that limit perception and connection.

What if part of your spiritual work wasn’t adding more—but removing what never belonged?

Nicholas weaves through topics of judgment, social conditioning, capitalism, and clarity of mind, offering contemplative questions for real-life transformation—not in five minutes, but over lifetimes.

A powerful listen for seekers, yoga teachers, and everyday humans trying to stay awake in a world that trains us to judge before we breathe.

💬 Quote from the Episode:

"Yoga is every moment that I’m able to connect with myself and the greater world I’m interacting with."

In this moon-charged episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, host Nicholas Wade Kimps dives into the rhythms of recovery, routine, and the quiet power of presence. From his Kapha-born connection to the full moon to the subtle physics of self, Nicholas explores how our doshic tendencies, daily choices, and inner misalignments either drain us—or deepen us.

What if spiritual vitality wasn’t about adding more—but subtracting noise?
What if your ego wasn’t your enemy, but your unique invitation to evolve?

This episode blends Ayurveda, self-reflection, and real talk on how spiritual resistance dissolves when practice meets purpose. Nicholas reflects on seasons of burnout, reframes self-care beyond massages, and invites us to shift into deeper alignment—moment by moment.

🌀 Movement is the way. But alignment is the why.

💬 Quotes from the Episode:

"It is integral to your identity because it's a piece that belongs, a piece that the whole wouldn't be exactly the same without it."

“The practice is evergreen, but what shows up on that day due to variance of qualities to changing the seasons, to changing of the celestial bodies will impact it. But it itself is still there. It itself is evergreen and it is ever relevant to you.”

📌 Podcast Summary / Show Notes:
In this short but potent episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps reflects on what it means to live and practice in an evergreen way—through seasons, changes, chaos, and calm. Drawing on insights from Ayurveda, dinacharya (daily routine), and his own lived rhythms, he explores how true discipline isn't about rigidity, but rootedness.

✨ What makes something “evergreen”? Not that it’s flashy or perfect, but that it remains. That it holds. That it returns.
From morning rituals to identity-shaping habits, this talk is a gentle nudge toward consistency—not for show, but for soul.

Whether you’re recommitting to your practice or redefining what devotion looks like in your current season, this one invites you back—no pressure, just presence.

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“You might be swimming upstream in a river you never wanted—just trying to survive, instead of letting the right life reveal itself to you.”

Are you flowing toward your life—or forcing it to match someone else’s?

In this honest and deeply reflective episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores the subtle suffering that comes from idealism out of alignment: when your desire to do good, be better, or make something happen… leads to burnout, not breakthroughs.

Drawing from yogic wisdom, Ayurvedic energetics, and lived experience, Nicholas shares how clarity, receptivity, and even decluttering can open the channels for life to move through you instead of against you.

🔎 In this episode:

• What swimming upstream really costs you

• The Ayurvedic concept of gunas and opposite energies

• Why manifestation doesn’t require understanding

• Knowing your ethics before chasing success

• How to stop forcing a life that isn’t fully yours

Whether you’re in survival mode or seeking spiritual flow, this episode reminds you that ease is not passivity—it’s precision, alignment, and courage to let go.

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“You're already worthy. But your conflicted energy is delaying your delivery.”

Why does it feel like life stalls just when we want it to speed up?

In this reflective episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores what it really means when things feel “stuck”—and how our clutter (mental, emotional, physical) might be the mirror we’ve been avoiding. From the Ayurvedic view of holographic healing to the sneaky ways our worthiness gets tied up in effort, Nicholas shares real-world examples of how cleaning your space, your energy, or your perception can unlock surprising flow.

🔍 Key reflections:

• The micro is the macro—what's stuck on the outside often reflects the inside

• You don’t need to “earn” your dreams—you need to receive them

• Living in the problem won’t reveal the solution

• Conflict between desire and self-judgment blocks manifestation

• Sometimes “cleaning the house” opens the channel for abundance

With his trademark mix of spiritual insight, personal story, and compassionate challenge, Nicholas invites you to stop waiting for proof—and start clearing the path.

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“You're not receptive until you believe you're worthy. But you're not worthy until you stop judging how it should look.”

In this candid episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps reflects on a lifelong pull toward the source—whether in yoga, Ayurveda, education, or evolution. What begins as a meditation on teachers, transmission, and the dilution of wisdom turns into something deeper: a call to trust the orchestration of your life, especially when it doesn’t go to plan.

🌀 What if the things you once wanted are already unfolding—just not on your timeline?

Nicholas shares personal stories about meeting Dr. Lad, manifesting his yoga studio, and navigating delays with grace (and a few weight-dropping close calls). He unpacks the role of worthiness, unconditionality, and letting go in receiving what we desire—and why control often slows the magic down.

Perfect for dreamers, doers, and those stuck in the “how,” this episode reminds us: what’s meant for you doesn’t need micromanagement. It just needs your belief.

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“All you need to take away is: better out than in. But don’t direct it at someone else—because that creates karmas and feedback loops even more layered and challenging.”

In this heartfelt and unscripted episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps reflects on grief, unexpected loss, and the deep undercurrents of emotional suppression. Through the lens of Ayurveda and yogic wisdom, he unpacks how unprocessed emotions become stored in the body, feeding future disease—unless we find ways to express and release them.

✨ If you've ever been told to “just move on” or have numbed emotional pain with productivity or dopamine rushes, this one's for you.

🌀 Explore:

• Why attachment to “how things should be” causes suffering

• How emotions lodge in weak spots of the body (kāva guṇyas)

• The Ayurvedic stages of disease—and how stuck emotion feeds them

• Why self-expression matters more than distraction

• What true ahimsa (non-harm) looks like in emotional release

Whether through breath, words, movement, or song—Nicholas reminds us that healing doesn’t happen by covering pain up. It happens when we let it move through.

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“If you can’t get there faster than you’re capable, why work harder trying?”

In this episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores a deceptively simple question: Are you worthy of feeling good while doing what you do?

What begins as a casual reflection on stacking camera blocks turns into a profound unpacking of how belief systems—especially around worthiness and unconditional love—affect your energy, your yoga practice, and your lived experience.

Nicholas draws a compelling metaphor: what if our beliefs acted like an alternator, recharging our energetic “battery” while we move through life—but only if we believe we’re worthy of receiving while doing?

🔸 Why self-care may not be charging your cup the way you think
🔸 How Ayurveda and yoga offer frameworks for energetic reciprocity
🔸 The subtle danger of “have to” vs. “choose to”
🔸 What unconditional love has to do with work, play, and your nervous system

This unscripted episode is a must-listen for anyone walking the path of spiritual practice, entrepreneurship, or just trying to feel more whole in a world that keeps demanding more.

💬 Quote from the Episode:

🎧“If you can’t get there faster than you’re capable, then why work harder to not get there any faster than you are capable?”

In this reflective and refreshingly real episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps unpacks the subtle—but massive—power of words: the ones we speak to ourselves, to others, and into the universe. 🌀

From self-talk and inherited beliefs to energetic shifts through short getaways and long-awaited breakthroughs, Nicholas explores how our language shapes our reality—and how structure, rest, and divine timing play a role in rewriting the script.

💭 Why do we communicate poorly with ourselves?
🪷 What does it mean to be productive without sacrificing alignment?
🌿 And how can we find peace with where we are, without forcing ourselves to go faster than we're capable?
