Episode notes
What is your inner child—and why does it matter so much?
In this kickoff episode of our Inner Child Mini-Series, I’m sharing what I believe is the most important healing work we can do: returning to the root of who we are. Your inner child is the essence of your being—joyful, vulnerable, curious, and full of love. But when that essence is met with shame, rejection, trauma, or emotional neglect, it gets buried beneath coping mechanisms and survival strategies that shape our adult lives.
In this episode, I explore how these wounds show up in things like people-pleasing, perfectionism, fear of abandonment, and more—and how reconnecting with your inner child can change the way you show up in the world forever.
This is a deeply personal, foundational conversation for anyone on a journey of healing, growth, and self-remembrance.
Journal Prompt: What did your inner child long to hear, feel, or receive?
