Today, we have an incredible guest joining us, my girl Nia Renee! She’s not just a powerhouse; she’s the creator of “How to Love a Battered Woman,” a relationship coach, motivational speaker, author, and so much more.
Now, y’all already know I love to start things off by letting my guests properly introduce themselves, so we can make sure we’re putting some respect on her name! Nia opens up about her journey, sharing how she turned her pain into purpose. She talks about her traumatic childhood, growing up in a household where her mother was not just a parent, but also her first bully. This led her into a cycle of toxic and abusive relationships in adulthood because that chaos was all she knew.
We dive deep into the roots of her trauma, discussing how her upbringing affected her view on relationships and self-worth. Nia shares how she had to unlearn those toxic patterns and do the hard work to heal and grow. She gets real about how, for so many of us, the issues we face as adults are rooted in childhood experiences that we haven’t fully recognized or worked through.
Nia’s story is a powerful reminder that no matter what you’ve been through, you can heal, grow, and step into your power. She talks about the importance of developing a strong relationship with yourself, learning to trust your own instincts, and setting boundaries to protect your peace. Nia also highlights that healing is a journey, not a destination, and it’s okay if we slip up sometimes—as long as we keep moving forward.
This episode is all about breaking free from the cycles of abuse and trauma, and learning to love yourself first so that you can attract the love you truly deserve. Nia’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of doing the inner work to create the life and love you want. So, if you’re ready to stop playin’ and start workin’ on your healing, this is the episode for you!
