@Alexandra1403 The meaning is the same. They can be used interchangeably.
If I had to pick out a difference, “I’m going home” seems like you will go directly to your house from wherever you are. While “I’m heading home” may imply that there are other things you will do on the way back, but your intention is to go home. “I’m heading home” sounds a bit softer and less commutes to me. If I were going to excuse myself from a friends party I would use “I’m heading home” .
But again, they are essentially the same.
