Redefining Community with Nike Aurea

What does it mean to build and belong to community? Not just in theory, but in practice, with care and intention. She’s joined by the thoughtful and deeply insightful Nike Aurea, an inclusion consultant, educator, and host of The Catalyst Podcast.

Together, they explore what it takes to create communities rooted in shared values — communities that feel safe, authentic, and spacious enough to hold both joy and truth. Nike offers a powerful perspective on the difference between meaningful connection and the performance of connection we often witness on social media.

This episode holds space for the realities many of us carry: the weight of past wounds, the confusion between accountability and punishment, and the burnout that comes from overextending ourselves in the name of care. Devi and Nike speak to the importance of boundaries; not as walls, but as invitations for mutual respect and sustainability.

With clarity, compassion, and honesty, this conversation is a gentle call to redefine how we show up for each other. It’s a reminder that real community isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence, intention, and the willingness to grow together.
