In this fifth episode of My Kind of Business, Alex is joined by inner child healing coach Jessica Amy, who shares her powerful story of personal transformation. From uncovering the roots of her struggles through domestic abuse support, to rediscovering her true self through deep inner work, Jessica now supports other women to do the same—helping them reconnect with who they've always been beneath the fear, conditioning and self-doubt.
Together, Alex and Jessica explore what inner child healing really involves, how to navigate the fear and vulnerability that comes with running a business, and why true, sustainable growth means honouring rest, self-trust and your own definition of success.
This conversation is honest, grounding and full of gentle wisdom—a reminder that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about coming home to yourself.
