Words That Heal: Wrtiting , Self- Love & Creative Awakening

 

Coming Home to Ourselves: Poetry, Presence & Self-Love

In the latest episode of The Balance with Andreana Jackson, I sit down with Neysa King — author, writing coach, and founder of Heart-Centered Writing — for a conversation rooted in poetry, embodiment, and the practice of self-love.

Neysa opens the episode by reading from her poetry collection Rainbow Body, immediately grounding us in the idea that self-love isn’t something we chase — it’s something we remember.

“Beauty is your right.
It’s what you get for being here.”
— Neysa King
A reminder that worth isn’t earned — it’s inherent.

Throughout our conversation, we explore how the body holds memory, emotion, and truth. Neysa shares how poetry became a pathway back to herself, and how learning to truly see the body — without judgment — can be deeply healing.

She reminds us that the words we speak to ourselves are never neutral. They land. They shape us. They stay.

“The body hears everything we say to it.”
— Neysa King
Speak kindly — your body is always listening.

Inspired by Miami Beach as muse, Neysa reflects on how creativity, movement, and community writing experiences help people reconnect with joy and presence. From poetry readings on the beach to intimate writing activations, her work creates space for people to feel seen — often for the first time.

We also talk about affirmations, movement, and the importance of choosing joy as a daily practice. Balance, as we discuss, isn’t about perfection — it’s about returning to yourself again and again, even when life feels noisy or uncertain.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember that coming home to yourself is always an option.

Episode 11: Bringing Clarity to the Closing Table With Real Estate Attorney R.J. Curington, Esq. Buying or selling a home is often described as one of the biggest investments of your life — yet the closing process itself can feel overwhelming, confusing, and unnecessarily stressful. In Episode 11 of The Balance with Andreana Jackson , I wanted to shift that experience by focusing on what truly makes a difference: clarity, communication, and preparation . As a Miami-based Realtor with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how anxiety at the closing table usually stems from a lack of understanding — not from the transaction itself. When buyers, sellers, and Realtors are properly informed and aligned, the process becomes far more calm, confident, and successful. That’s why I was honored to sit down with R.J. Curington, Esq. , a real estate attorney and the founder of Curington Law , for an honest, educational conversation about what really happens behind the scenes of a real es...
