This episode is a gentle invitation into one of the most tender parts of your healing journey—the relationship with your inner child.

Many of us grew up learning to silence our needs, mask our feelings, and become “good” in order to be loved. Over time, we lose touch with the child within—the part of us that still carries wonder, vulnerability, creativity, and pain.

In this episode of The Inner Temple, I share the story behind my soul collage Come Take My Hand, and the original poem it inspired. The collage represents the sacred connection between my inner child and my higher self: one reaching, the other offering a hand in safety, love, and understanding.

I reflect on my own childhood—the ways I abandoned my truth to be accepted, the names I was called that made me doubt my authenticity, and the quiet longing that remained. And I share how healing began when I stopped running from that younger part of me… and started reaching toward her instead.

If you’ve ever:

• Struggled with feeling “too much” or “not enough”

• Been told your kindness was a mask

• Learned to be “nice” instead of honest

• Longed to feel safe being fully seen

This episode is for you.

Featuring the original poem: Come Take My Hand

Plus reflection questions to support your own journey of reconnection.

This is not about fixing.

It’s about loving the parts of you that never stopped waiting for your hand.

You are all you need.

Take care of your sacred soul.
