August 25 Ask Nakeia: Lesson From Heartbreak
"Heartbreak will teach you never to settle again.”
Heartbreak is the subject I am asked to talk about the most—but want to talk about the least.
I am far removed from that young girl who walked around with a broken heart, but I can still feel what it was like to be her. That is why I have been able to help others navigate it so well. I’ve held sessions, taught classes, and recorded episodes on healing heartbreak and getting over an ex. And in today’s episode, I am answering this question: “What can I learn from heartbreak?”
Whether it’s a “brutal breakup”, unrequited love, a lost opportunity, someone letting you down (again), or failed plans, Lessons from Heartbreak may be the episode you didn’t know you needed today.

August 18 Delightful Discipline: Rituals, Routines, & Results
"Discipline is a practice, not punishment."
Today I am going to introduce you to a concept that will help you be more consistent, get more done, and follow through on your goals.
If you are triggered by the idea of living a more disciplined life but understand that it is what it will take to get to where you want to be, then reframing discipline as a joyful and intentional practice is exactly what you need.
“Delightful discipline” leads to transformation and fulfillment—and I'm sharing practical ways to incorporate this practice.
It will change the way you show up for yourself.

June 30 How To Strengthen Your Intuition And Save Your Life
"Intuition saved my life many times."
There are a few things I can’t live without, and my intuition is one of them.
My intuition has literally saved my life over and over again—but that wouldn’t be the case if I had spent intentional time developing my relationship with it.
From guiding me through seasons of not knowing what to do to being the quiet voice that confirms what is true for me as I grow, my intuition has never failed me—and I want you to feel the same kind of assurance.
I’m sharing ways to strengthen your relationship with your intuition today.
