The WakeUp Protocol

Listening for Truth: Through Relationship, Nature, and Deep Presence with Susan Powell & Jay Darling

Nadja Haldimann Season 1 Episode 2

What happens when you choose to build a life on presence, listening, and love instead of performance or perfection? In this episode of The WakeUp Protocol, Nadja sits down with two heart-centered humans, Susan Powell and Jay Darling. A couple whose partnership in love and life is rooted in respect, playfulness, and presence.


Susan is a holistic health educator and elder who supports indigenous communities in healing. Jay is a musician and self-described “possibilitarian” who uses sound, movement, and mirth to foster connection and transformation. 


Together, they offer a grounded conversation about healing through relationship with ourselves, each other, and the earth.


Susan and Jay share reflections on:


 + Building a life that honors nature, trust, and sacred timing

+ The quiet knowing that emerges when we slow down

+ The power of discernment vs. judgment

+ Creating safety through truth-telling and deep listening

+ What it means to let love move through grief, aging, and transformation

+ Embodied communication and conscious partnership


This conversation feels like a warm cup of tea for the soul. It reminds us that awakening doesn’t have to be loud; it can be gentle, relational, and deeply human.
