Nurturing and Healing Your Inner Child & Teen
47:10
The inner child and teen is the part of ourselves that we tend to neglect as we mature. It’s the innate, youthful nature in us that often we “outgrow” as life, trauma, and challenges occur in our lives. As we become inundated with responsibilities, expectations, and unrealistic standards from society- our inner child can be harder to recognize and embrace as we get older. What was before a vivid representation of your lightheartedness and joy can develop into just a shadow of that version of ourselves. Through this episode, you’ll learn:
