Welcome to Episode 14! I’m Dr. Nicole. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sumayyah Hill, an entrepreneur and self-care expert. We delved into the often-overlooked art of self-care and how it can transform our lives, especially for women who tend to prioritize others over themselves.

Sumayyah shared her personal journey, highlighting how the demands of motherhood and marriage led her to realize the importance of nurturing herself. She discussed the challenges of balancing family responsibilities while also taking time for self-care, emphasizing that small, intentional acts can make a significant difference.

From creating her own natural body products to finding ways to incorporate self-care into her daily routine, Sumayyah's insights are both practical and inspiring.

We also explored the dynamics of marriage and how nurturing our partners can enhance our relationships. Sumaya shared wisdom passed down from her grandmother about being a supportive wife, and we discussed the importance of communication and understanding in a marriage.
