"The habits that once helped us survive can also hold us hostage. Healing begins when we forgive ourselves for who we had to be, release the roles that no longer serve us, and create new habits that lead us to peace, purpose, and power."

In this first episode of Season 3 with Nakeia Homer, we open a new chapter of healing and growth by uncovering how the survival habits that once kept us safe can also keep us stuck, and how simple daily practices help us reclaim peace, power, and purpose. Tune in as we explore practical tools to release expired roles and relationships and take concrete steps from merely surviving to truly thriving in life’s next chapter.
