We often hear about healing the "inner child," but what about the voice that controls it?
European licensed psychologist and author, Kasia Dodd, joins Brigitte Cutshall to introduce her groundbreaking "Inner Parent Theory" and reveals why healing the critical, fearful inner parent is the real key to unlocking happiness and potential.
3 Key Takeaways:
(1) The Duo Dynamic: The inner self is a duo of the Inner Child (the pure desire to live and play) and the Inner Parent (the structure responsible for awareness, discernment, and providing a safe space).
(2) Focus on the Parent: When inner conflict arises, the problem isn't the Inner Child; it's the Inner Parent, which projects its own negative beliefs (e.g., "you're not good enough") onto the child, causing limitation and unhappiness
(3) Emotional First Aid: For immediate relief from stress or emotional baggage, Kasia recommends exploring Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or "Tapping," noting that simple, free resources are widely available and can provide quick help.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
