Do you remember who you were before the world told you to earn your worth?

In this episode, I reflect on childhood memories — the joy, the love, the beingness — and how far so many of us drift from that innocence in the pursuit of achievement, validation, and “success.”

I speak directly to the high achievers who have learned to tie their worth to what they do, rather than who they are.

We explore:

  • What happens when your identity becomes entangled with performance

  • Why the most courageous thing you can do is return to the purest version of yourself

  • How affirming your inner child creates space for deep emotional healing

If you’ve been craving softness, if you’ve been questioning your worth outside of accomplishment, this is the episode for you.

🔑 In This Episode:
  • A heartfelt reflection on the love we often felt as children and how it fades

  • How high achievers lose sight of self in pursuit of gold stars and external praise

  • Why stillness, mindfulness, and self-affirmation are critical tools for healing

  • How small daily acts of kindness toward your inner child can change everything

  • A call to honor your emotional truth and give the love back to yourself

🛠️ Take This With You:
  • The purest version of you is still there waiting to be remembered.

  • Vulnerability is a portal to your true power.

  • You don’t have to prove yourself to be worthy of love. You already are.

💬 Journal Prompt:

What did you love most about yourself as a child? Where have you hidden her , and how can you welcome her back?
