Self-Care Is Part of the Work w/ NaKeesa Marie - 08/12/2026

What if the thing standing between you and sustainable success isn’t more discipline, more hustle, or another productivity system?What if you need more care?In this powerful fireside conversation, Dr. FLOW sits down with self-care advocate, author, and “Self-Care Engineer” NaKeesa Marie for an unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to build a business, pursue a creative calling, serve a community, and make money without abandoning yourself in the process.We talk about burnout, boundaries, reparenting, rest, hyper-independence, asking for help, community, entrepreneurship, creativity, and the courage it takes to admit:I cannot do everything by myself.One of the biggest ideas from this conversation is simple but potentially life-changing:Self-care is not something you earn after the work is finished. Self-care is part of how the work becomes sustainable.We also unpack why so many capable people struggle to ask for help, why community matters, how proactive rest can protect your capacity, and why building a meaningful life should not require destroying yourself to maintain it.This conversation is funny, vulnerable, occasionally irreverent, deeply personal, and filled with practical wisdom for entrepreneurs, artists, creatives, coaches, leaders, freelancers, and anyone carrying a vision that sometimes feels heavier than they expected.And this is only Part One.We didn’t get through everything we planned, which means NaKeesa is coming back. There is much more to explore around scheduling, organization, boundaries, money, value, work, community, and sustainable entrepreneurship.Until then, here’s the question we leave with you:What is one act of self-care you are willing to commit to in the next 24 hours?Not someday.Not when the business slows down.Not after everybody else is taken care of.Within the next 24 hours.Because self-care is something we practice, not merely something we understand.Stay in your power.Stay in your joy.Stay lovable. ❤️A Call to the Loved and Lovable CommunityDr. Flow and an extraordinary team of collaborators are devoted to healing, inspiring, and uplifting our global community.
