Ready to stop settling, set boundaries, and reclaim your personal power? Nakeia Homer’s wisdom in this episode will help guide you. Nakeia is a well-being educator, author, and the founder of Heal & Grow Daily—a community dedicated to helping people sustain their well-being and live in their brilliance. Nakeia’s mission? Empowering others to show up as the best versions of themselves, both in their lives and work. 

We dive into how to navigate healing and operate from a place of peace. You’ll hear why healing isn’t linear, how boundaries can be a proactive step toward connection, and how self-care ties into our sense of worthiness. We also explore the habit of letting go to create space for the new. While some topics may be familiar, I always love having guests bring fresh perspectives on the themes you care about most.

You’ll hear:

• Why Nakeia’s book, Habits for Healing: Reclaim Your Purpose, Peace, and Power, is broken into three key parts and how each of these pillars supports your healing journey (5:05)
• How to stop taking things so personally (8:06)
• Why setting boundaries is a proactive act and how it heals our relationship with connection: “The reason people struggle with boundaries is that by the time they set them, they’re already pissed” (13:36)
• The concept of “protecting your energy” and how to apply it in your life (17:45)
• Why we settle, whether it’s ever okay to settle, and how to avoid it when it’s not (22:00)
• The habit of letting go and why it’s not a failure to let go (25:50)
• How meeting your own needs is the key to no longer living in deficit, and how self-care heals our relationship with worthiness (28:16)
