What if the pain you feel in your relationships today is actually a call to heal the inner child you left behind? When you stop abandoning yourself, everything changes—your relationships, your confidence, and the way you show up for your dreams.
Today, I sit down with my client Neetu Ramawad, who shares her deeply personal journey of healing her abandonment wound using my Inner Child Healing Process, among other tools. From grappling with feelings of rejection in relationships to reclaiming her confidence and self-worth, Neetu walks us through the profound shifts she experienced by committing to this work over time.
We explore how childhood experiences with absent parents shaped her belief system and how those unconscious patterns showed up in her adult relationships, friendships, and business. She reveals the turning points in her journey, including the breakthrough moments when she realized she was abandoning herself in subtle but powerful ways. Through consistent inner work, she learned how to create new patterns of self-trust, set healthier boundaries, and embrace her power.
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure of how to navigate emotional triggers. Neetu’s story is a powerful reminder that healing your abandonment wound isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning how to meet your inner child with compassion and love, over and over again.
