In this Lagos story table, hosted by Marvis Chukwudi, ten people speak honestly about health, wealth, and the mind that grew up in scarcity.
Their stories reveal how childhood experiences with money, survival, and instability shape Nigerians' understanding of rest, guilt, mental health, and self-worth today.

From the nostalgia of roadside Gala to the emotional cost of “hustle culture,” this table exposes what it means to care for yourself in a city that constantly demands resilience. These are not stories of pity or shame. Instead, they are stories of a generation redefining what wellbeing means on their own terms.

As always, the conversation begins with the meditation bell and ends with a local symbol shared by our storytellers.
