Inner Pondering
Welcome to Inner Pondering, a sacred space for the soul on its journey home.
This podcast is for anyone walking through the fire of transformation—those who feel the pull to awaken, to heal deeply, and to remember who they truly are.
Each episode is a gentle yet honest conversation on navigating the dark nights, releasing what no longer serves, ready to stop running, and returning to your inner truth. With grounded insights, personal reflections, and soulful reminders, Nikki invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the wisdom already inside you.
This isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about unbecoming everything you’re not, and healing emotionally and spiritually. Not by fixing the wounded parts of you, but by remembering what is already whole within.
Because when you finally listen to the quiet voice within… that’s when the real awakening begins.

Avoidance Feels Safe, But It’s a Cage | A Reflection on Inner Healing and Emotional Numbing
“Avoidance isn’t laziness—it’s unspoken grief. And the longer we run, the further we drift from our true self.”
In this episode of Inner Pondering, we explore the quiet ways emotional avoidance shapes our lives—how we scroll, overwork, perform, or even spiritually bypass in an attempt to stay out of discomfort.
Avoidance often begins as a way to survive, but over time, it becomes a subtle form of pain.
It keeps us disconnected from our truth, stuck in loops of emotional numbing, and locked out of presence.
This reflection is for those navigating:
- Grief disguised as avoidance
- The exhaustion that comes from constantly coping
- Why avoidance feels safe but drains you
- How healing starts by being present with what hurts
- The connection between inner work and avoidance patterns
Whether you're healing from spiritual bypassing, emotional shutdown, or simply tired of running from yourself—this is your reminder that your presence is enough. You can come home now.
Thank you for listening! You are the one I come to meet.
