About this listen

Catalyst is a podcast for people who care deeply about community, accountability, and what it actually takes to create safer, more intentional spaces.


Hosted by Niké, an inclusion consultant and educator, each episode dives into the messy, real-life work of questioning our socializations and conditioning, honoring your capacity, and leading without perfectionism or urgency.

Every other week, Niké breaks down big ideas around community care, boundaries, power, and belonging in a way that’s clear, grounded, and rooted in real-life practice.


If you're ready to move beyond good intentions and into action, this space is for you.

  • Season Three: From Wanting to Belong to Creating Belonging
    Aug 25 2025

    In this episode of Catalyst, Niké explores the shift from seeking belonging to actively creating it. We often enter community spaces hoping to feel seen, accepted, and held but rarely pause to ask how we contribute to that experience for others.

    Niké breaks down what it means to move from passive participation to intentional co-creation in community spaces. If you’ve ever found yourself waiting for community to make you feel included, this episode will help you rethink what belonging actually looks like in practice.

  • Season Three: Being the Type of Community Member Who Doesn't Run From Mistakes
    Aug 18 2025

    In this episode of Catalyst, Niké explores what it really means to stay in community when you mess up instead of running, shutting down, or shaming yourself. She unpacks how perfectionism, shame, and the fear of being called out keep people from showing up with honesty and care.

    Being a good community member isn’t about avoiding mistakes. It’s about how you take responsibility, stay present, and commit to repair when they happen. If you’re serious about community, this episode is a must.
