Self-Love Magic with Nikia Phoenix

Have you ever thought about the difference between self-care and self-love? Usually, we confuse the two. We think self-love looks like snuggling under the covers with a good book, taking a bubble bath, putting on a face mask. But really… that's how we care for ourselves. Self-love is something so much deeper. My friend Nikia Phoenix and I discussed it on this week's episode, and I know her perspective is going to blow your mind. Nikia is a model, writer, dream instigator, the founder of Black Girl Beautiful, and an amazing advocate for self-love. She joined me on this episode to talk about what self-love is to her, how her own self-love journey started, and the methods she uses to tap into honoring her whole truth. In this episode you'll hear: What self-love means to Nikia and how she expresses it to the world [1:03] The way that protecting yourself first gives you space to be able to protect others [6:19] Her thoughts on cultivating honesty in relationships with the people around you [9:47] What started Nikia on this journey to self-love and grew her desire to share it with others [18:18] How you can begin to have real and honest conversations with no expectations [25:27] How Nikia uses healing modalities as a self-love practice, and what you can do to start incorporating them into your own life [33:44] What magic can happen when you do the work of love and service [44:18] Our conversation reminded me of what's possible when we intentionally honor our wholeness in the ways we practice self-love. Instead of seeking joy or fulfillment in the things that can't provide it, taking time to practice self-love helps us see they were in us all along. :) Read the show notes: Nikia's Website: Nika's Instagram: The Artist's Way book Visit Melyssa's Website: Follow Melyssa on Instagram: Follow Limitless Life™ on Instagram:
