Kimbra is a New Zealand-born songwriter, musician, producer, and adventurous performer. Her 2011 debut, Vows, was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. The following year, “Somebody That I Used to Know,” her duet with Gotye, topped Billboard’s Hot 100, became the best-selling song of the year in the U.S., and earned her two Grammy Awards. Since then, she has toured with artists including Beck, David Byrne, and Jacob Collier, and has released four more albums: The Golden Echo, Primal Heart, A Reckoning, and Idols & Vices (Vol. 1). She hosts the podcast Playing With Fire and shares essays, poetry and watercolours on her Substack newsletter.\nIn this conversation, Kimbra reflects on her ongoing journey to find balance and rest within her life and career as a musician. She speaks about the importance of silence in shaping her artistic expression, the power of surrendering to spirit, and the grounding influence of nature.\nThis episode is an invitation to embrace the fullness of life — its joy, its suffering, and the many paradoxes in between.\nFor more of Kimbra's work:\nSubstack: https://kimbra.substack.com/\nWebsite: https://www.kimbramusic.com/\n\nFor more from Mark McCartney:\nNewsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/\nWebsite: https://www.mmcleadership.com/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney\n00:00 How to find balance?\n03:00 The experience of burnout\n06:30 A silent concert\n09:50 HoneyBones and nothing to lose\n12:30 The generosity and connection of silence \n16:00 Life, art, and work are not separate\n19:30 Receiving a message from spirit\n23:30 Being empowered by spirit\n29:00 A mystical experience and calling\n33:42 We all have a cross\n38:50 Making a difference in the world\n42:30 The power and role of nature\n45:00 Rest, letting go, and liberation\n51:15...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
