In this episode, I am taking you on a guided meditation to meet your inner child. Meeting your inner child is not about revisiting the past; it’s an opportunity to heal old wounds, understand your emotions, and reclaim the joy and playfulness that may have been lost along the way. By nurturing your inner child, you’ll cultivate self-compassion, break free from negative patterns, and empower yourself to live more authentically.

This guided meditation begins the process of meeting your inner child and learning what they need from you at this moment.

So grab a journal and pen, find a comfortable and private space, take a deep breath, and join me as we dive into this enriching experience.

If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or alone in this journey, this episode is for you!
