A lot of us are grown adults still reacting from wounds we received as children.

Fear of rejection. Feeling like we’re not enough. Needing validation. People-pleasing. Anger. Abandonment. Trying to control everything around us so we can finally feel safe.

We learn how to survive, but those survival patterns can follow us into our relationships, our decisions, and the way we see ourselves.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to go back and understand that younger version of ourselves—not to live in the past or blame anybody, but to understand what we learned, what we carried with us, and what we no longer need.

Sometimes healing your inner child isn’t about becoming somebody new.

It’s about finally becoming the person you were before you learned you had to be somebody else to survive.
