S4 - Episode 13: Healing Your Inner Child & Re-parenting Yourself

Send us a text

In this episode I’m diving into one of my favourite topics: inner child healing and how re-parenting yourself can help you reconnect to your brilliant, innate, authentic self.

We explore why so many of your current triggers, perfectionism, people-pleasing and “why am I reacting like THIS?!” moments are actually being run by a much younger version of you – and how to lovingly take back the wheel.

In this episode, I talk about:

• What “inner child” actually means
• Why even a “good” childhood leaves imprints
• Signs your inner child needs attention
• Re-parenting yourself in real time
  
  
• Inner child work & your nervous system
• Triggers as teachers
• Internal Family Systems (parts work)
• Shamanic soul retrieval & inner child healing
• Practical ways to start today
• Integration – where real change happens

If you’ve listened and thought, “Okay, this is me, and I don’t want my 6-year-old self running my adult life anymore”, this is exactly the kind of work I love supporting women with.

I blend:

• Thought work & practical strategy

…to help women in midlife step into their sovereignty, heal old patterns, and reconnect with the most authentic version of themselves.
