In this episode of the Universal Empress Podcast, Nadine McNeil shares her deeply personal journey of learning self-love - not from upbringing or tradition, but through experience, heartbreak, and awakening.

Born and raised in Jamaica to Christian parents, Nadine was taught to be the “good girl” - to study hard, be kind, and put others first. But after a painful breakup in her thirties, she began to ask herself a powerful question:
"How can I truly love others if I don’t know how to love myself?

In this heartfelt reflection, Nadine uncovers what self-love is not - it’s not perfection, performance, or pleasing others. It’s not conditional or transactional. And it’s certainly not addiction disguised as love.

True self-love, she reveals, begins when we embrace every part of ourselves, even the imperfect ones - and allow that acceptance to transform our lives.

“When you start to love your imperfections and embody them, that’s when you shift into this radical act of self-love.”
