Publisher's summary

From the celebrated poet, speaker, and educator comes Welcome Home, a powerful blueprint for building a strong foundation of self-worth, belonging, and happiness.

“A master class in self-actualization and compassion.” (Mari Andrew, New York Times best-selling author of Am I There Yet?)

The powerful metaphor of home provides a structure for you to customize your journey to personal transformation as Najwa Zebian shares her own experiences in building a home within herself and shows you how to construct the following “rooms”:

  • Self-Love: Learn how to build an individualized self-care routine to reflect your daily needs.
  • Forgiveness: Learn how to allow yourself time, reflection, and space to accept and let go of painful events.
  • Compassion: Discover the three different types of compassion and learn how you can let people in while maintaining boundaries.
  • Clarity: Learn how to remove the walls you put up around your authentic self.
  • Surrender: Learn how to lower your defenses and give yourself space to feel and process your emotions.
  • The Dream Garden: Learn how to nurture your dreams and create an authentic, original path.

With practical tools, poetry, and prompts for journaling and meditation to lead to self-understanding in each chapter, Zebian shows you how to build each room in your house. Written with her trademark power, candor, and warmth, Welcome Home is an answer to the pain we all experience when we don't feel at peace with ourselves.

Featured Article: Listens and Learnings from The Great Resignation


Living through the COVID-19 pandemic put the fleeting nature of human life front and center, and served as a turning point in the lives of millions. Radical shifts in social interactions and ways of working, along with the prevalence of illness and grief, motivated many to reassess their priorities. A staggering number of adult workers pivoted their careers or just plain left the workforce entirely, in a phenomenon that’s been coined The Great Resignation.

Amazing book!

The way she broke up the different rooms and how we can go in and out of each room is simply amazing! Her voice and poetry is soothing while she helps you dig deep. I've already listened to certain sections a few times already. This will certainly be a book that I will return to many times.

A must read for empaths and people no longer wanting to be codependent

This book spoke to my soul. I also enjoyed her voice and inflection…it was comforting, familiar, and needed more than anticipated.

Full of good information but tending to it is hard because the flat sleep inducing monotone reading.

If it was read in a tone that is flat and monotones reading. It’s not the voice is unpleasant,it’s just like a droning flat tone that makes me want to say please let this be over,and you lose the words.

A great book—Welcome Home!

My sister asked if this book had anything to do with being in the military and I said “no “ but I was wrong! It is for everyone especially people who have experienced trauma of any sort. I would call it a self help book but not sure the author would agree.

So inspiring

Having just gone through this
and being in a bad place, myself, this was comforting and I need to hear it again. Highly recommended to anyone searching for themselves or healing after narcissistic abuse.
