  • Adulting, I don't wanna!
    Oct 10 2025

    Ready to wrestle with the weirdness of adulting?

    In this episode, we're diving deep into the push and pull between your grown-up self and your inner child. You'll discover how the things you loved (or feared!) as a kid are still showing up in your life today—from how you handle your budget to why you procrastinate on laundry.

    We'll talk about practical ways to reparent your inner child, giving them the validation and freedom they need. Learn how integrating this playful, honest part of you can reduce stress, boost creativity, and make the day-to-day grind of adult life feel a whole lot lighter and more fun. Tune in for a refreshing, insightful look at becoming the best version of both your current and childhood self!

  • Atonement, Reparations, and the Inner Child
    Oct 4 2025

    The journey of healing often connects large societal issues with personal, internal work. Atonement, at its core, is the act of making amends or showing remorse for past wrongs. On a societal level, this translates to reparations—concrete actions, financial or otherwise, intended to address and compensate for historical injustices like slavery or systemic oppression. These aren't just payments; they're a societal acknowledgment of harm.

    Crucially, this work echoes in our personal lives. The inner child is the part of our psyche that holds the memories, emotions, and hurts of our formative years. When we experience personal trauma or injustice, that inner part is wounded. Self-reparation means offering our inner child the care, validation, and safety it was denied. By seeking atonement from others and offering reparations to ourselves, we integrate historical justice with personal peace, moving from wounding to true wholeness.

  • Sorry, not sorry
    Sep 26 2025

    When an apology feels empty, it's often because the inner child is running the show. This podcast dives into why people deflect, blame, or offer conditional "sorries" instead of taking real accountability. We explore the deep-seated fears that prevent us from admitting fault and the crucial link between a genuine apology and healing the wounded inner self. Learn to recognize the difference between a surface-level excuse and true remorse, and discover how fostering a secure inner child is the key to giving and receiving meaningful apologies. This journey helps you build healthier, more honest relationships.
