Religion EN ↓ 66 episodes

Inner Pondering is a quiet space for the ones in the middle of an inner shift — unbecoming the self they created to survive, and remembering the presence beneath it all. Through reflective transmissions on awakening, identity, attachment, loneliness, peace, and self-recognition, Nikki speaks to the quiet seekers who may not feel held by conventional spiritual or healing spaces. This is not about becoming someone new. It is about coming home to what was never gone. Find Inner Pondering on YouTube: @innerpondering
