There’s a part of you that never stopped needing care, play, and presence - that part is your inner child. And reconnecting with them can be one of the most healing and powerful things you ever do.
In this episode, I’m diving into what it means to truly nurture your inner child - the piece of you that holds past experiences, emotions, and unmet needs. Whether it’s the holidays stirring up nostalgia or you're simply craving more joy and authenticity, this is your invitation to reflect on where you’ve been and how you can meet yourself more fully in the present.
I share insights from my own journey as well as the work of experts like Dr. Gabor Maté, exploring how childhood experiences shape our adult patterns and how tending to our inner child can bring emotional relief and reconnection. We also look at how parenting or observing children can reawaken your own sense of wonder, play, and truth.
