My little guy, Tommy, calls for me to stop connecting with the world at times. He invites me to connect with him on the beach. To stop thinking so much, to stop analyzing all the time. His call, his playful nudge is to start feeling & start dreaming. I’ve learned to love him, yet it’s taken some effort.

I love this from Glennon Doyle, from her book Untamed, “The voice I finally heard that day was my own--the girl I'd locked away at ten years old, the girl I was before the world told me who to be--and she said: Here I am. I'm taking over now.”

We ignore the child within by ascribing its voice to immaturity rather than validating its heart as honest.

In this podcast I’ll talk about connecting to your inner child and how it can helpful in making it easier to understand your adult experience, heal from pain in your past, and handle any future challenges with self-compassion.

I’ll outline ways of getting to know that gorgeous little person inside you and outline a myriad of tips on how to reach out to your inner child, along with a brief visualization to serve as a way to make a connection.

And I’ll close with some recommendations for how you can tap into your inner child’s wisdom.

Like James Broughton said, “I’m happy to report that my inner child is still ageless.”
