The Inner Child Who Learned What Love Meant — And Never Stopped Believing It

In this episode, Jacqueline explores how the emotional atmosphere of childhood doesn’t simply stay in the past — it lives on inside us as an unconscious love-map that continues guiding our relationships in adulthood.

Through the lens of compassion and nervous-system awareness, she reflects on the roles many of us learned to play as children — caretaker, peacekeeper, invisible one, survivor — and how those adaptations shaped the way we pursue love, safety, connection, intensity, and belonging later in life. This episode gently uncovers how the inner child keeps reaching for repair, hoping that love will finally stay… even when the patterns we repeat are painful or familiar.

This is not a story about blame — but about honoring the child who learned to survive, recognizing the ways they still try to protect us, and beginning the courageous work of becoming the safe place we were once longing to find.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain relationships feel magnetic, overwhelming, or deeply familiar… this conversation may help something come into focus.
