Breathe. Ground. Be.

In this heartfelt episode, Nadine McNeil shares how her personal story of disconnection became the foundation of her self-love practice. Growing up in Jamaica under the structure of traditional expectations, Nadine followed all the “rules” - until one powerful question changed everything:

"How can I do unto others as I would have them do unto me, when I don’t know how to do unto me?"

Through raw honesty and gentle wisdom, Nadine reminds us that self-love isn’t a destination but a lifelong journey - one that deepens as we begin to embrace even the parts of ourselves we once rejected.

This episode is an invitation to look within, to confront, to heal, and to rediscover the beauty in every corner of who you are.

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.”
