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\u2026 that\u2019s how we care for ourselves. Self-love is something so much deeper. My friend Nikia Phoenix and I discussed it on this week\u2019s 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\u2019ll 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\u2019s 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\u2019t provide it, taking time to practice self-love helps us see they were in us all along. :) Read the show notes: https:\/\/www.melyssagriffin.com\/nikia-phoenix-103&amp;nbsp; Nikia\u2019s Website: https:\/\/nikiaphoenix.com\/&amp;nbsp; Nika\u2019s Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nikiaphoenix\/ The Artist\u2019s Way book Visit Melyssa\u2019s Website: www.melyssagriffin.com Follow Melyssa on Instagram: www.instagram.com\/melyssa_griffin Follow Limitless Life\u2122 on Instagram: www.instagram.com\/limitlesslifepodcast&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Limitless Life","author_url":"https:\/\/futurecurrent.io\/podcast\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/18695258\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/100708910"}
