Peace from lotus is a podcast created by holistic life coach Kamla de Haas and portrait photographer Nene Wilson.
The intention behind their podcast is to inspire others through open, honest and unfiltered conversations. They would like to cultivate new insights and perspectives because as long as there is a dialogue there is hope. And as their name states they encourage their listeners to find peace while growing.
We have come to praise the idea of someone who is completely independent. But in life we must all work together in some way or another. So why not embrace the power of collaborations?

INSTITUTIONS, FREEDOM & FEAR

Donating money is a blessing but...
The topic that both Kamla and Nene address in this week's episode is donating money. They know that giving money away to those in need is a good deed but are we looking at the bigger picture? Do we help out, out of a savior complex? Do we actually like to achieve durable aid or just temporarily sollutions? And are we compassionate enough to listen to what those in need really need or are asking for?

Do you dare to say no?
In this week's episode Kamla and Nene dare you to say "no" to invitations, offers or people you really don't vibe with or you just don't have the energy for. They stress on the importance of this word because, ultimately, saying "no" to others is a "yes" to yourself.

Are you holistically investing in yourself?
In this episode Kamla and Nene discuss the importance of investing in yourself but especially through a holistic lens. They encourage us to live in full abundance instead of investing in oneself on a selective basis. Moreover, they elaborate on today's shaming culture where unhealthy life choices are seen as the norm and (consicious) healthy people are often "othered". But the question they want to ask you is; are you investing in yourself or only in other people?
