There’s a kind of belonging that doesn’t depend on place, people, or performance—but on the quiet homecoming to your own body, where you remember you already belong.
In this spacious, soul-rooted conversation, Ingrid speaks with Nike Lawal—an elder in her life and a source of profound clarity and joy. As a coach, therapist, and breathwork facilitator, Nike has spent the last four decades guiding others toward healing, connection, and truth.
Together, they explore what it means to come home—to ourselves, to one another, and to what truly matters.
Nike shares stories from her recent trip to Norway, where glaciers, Viking history, and a stranger’s embrace reminded her: we are more deeply connected than we ever imagined. From her Nigerian heritage to her experiences as both mother and daughter, Nike reflects on how the longing for connection isn’t about finding someone—it’s about remembering who we are.
Together, we explore:
The difference between fleeting happiness and embodied joy
What it means to live in service to being, not just doing
Forgiveness, ancestral wisdom, and healing across generations
The quiet messages she now receives from her late father—and what his soul is teaching her about joy and connection
How to hold discomfort and joy without rushing past either
Aging, motherhood, and letting go of who we think we should be
This is a conversation about courage. About softening. About choosing love in a world that often forgets its wholeness.
Nike reminds us: “If we can come out of this life experiencing love—knowing it in every cell of our body—then we have truly lived.”
