All The Right Pieces - book

By Nakeia Homer

From Nakeia Homer — well-being educator, trauma-informed educator, former counselor and social worker, corporate wellness consultant, and member of the executive education faculty at the David Eccles School of Business, University of Utah. Founder of Heal & Grow Daily, a self-healing community and membership program. Her work drawing on her own healing has reached readers, companies, and mindfulness platforms worldwide. 

At the heart of this book is a single, quietly radical idea: "Every piece of you deserves to be at peace with you." 

Most healing narratives are organized around the premise of fixing what's broken — removing the bad, amplifying the good, arriving eventually at some cleaner, lighter version of yourself that no longer carries the weight of what you've been through. All The Right Pieces proposes something different. It asks you to stop editing your story and start honoring it. The painful chapters, the seasons that didn't go as planned, the versions of you that you're still learning to forgive — this book makes the case that all of it belongs. That you were never incomplete. That the work was never to subtract, but to integrate.
The collection moves through short prose, poetry, and direct reminders in Homer's characteristic voice: warm, unsparing, grounded in real clinical and personal experience of what it actually takes to heal. It encourages readers to own, accept, and honor their personal story and their personal process, making room for their personal growth — not by rushing to the other side of pain, but by learning to be fully present inside it until it becomes something you carry differently.

One reader described it as their "comfort book" for a healing journey, highlighting almost every page and returning to it repeatedly. Another wrote that it "sparked growth and healing" at a time when they were struggling with self-esteem, mental health, and trauma. 
Perfect for readers who:
Are somewhere in the middle of their healing — past the acute crisis, not yet at the other side, trying to make sense of where they are
Struggle with the feeling that certain parts of their history, their personality, or their past choices make them somehow less whole
Are healing from childhood trauma, difficult relationships, burnout, or a major life transition and want a companion that honors complexity without toxic positivity
Want something they can dip into rather than read straight through — opened at random, returned to on hard days, kept on a nightstand
Found I Hope This Helps and are ready for Homer's deeper, more searching second book — or discovered Habits for Healin
