In this episode, I get real about how perfectionism almost stopped me from sharing my message with the world. We all know that voice in our heads telling us to wait until everything is perfect, but what if "perfect" is the enemy of "done"? Join me as I explore the power of embracing messy authenticity and using your voice, even when it's not polished. You'll hear my own story of overcoming self-consciousness and the surprising benefits of revisiting past recordings. It's time to hit publish on imperfect passion – let's do this!

41. Unlearning the Past: A Journey Back to the Self | Week 4

Inside each of us lives a younger version of ourselves—our inner child—still holding the emotions, beliefs, and unmet needs from our earliest experiences. Often, it’s this tender part of us that gets triggered in the present: the one who learned to stay small, to people-please, to hide their truth in order to feel safe.

In this guided meditation, we gently reconnect with that inner child, not to fix them—but to witness them with love. Using tools from reparenting work—like breathwork, visualization, emotional attunement, and loving affirmations—we begin the healing process of meeting old wounds with new compassion.

If you've ever felt like you overreact, shut down, or carry emotions too big for the moment, this meditation will guide you to the root—offering presence where there was once absence, and care where there was once silence.

This is where the healing begins: not by changing who you are, but by remembering who you’ve always been.


🌿 Episode Topics & Key Themes

✅ Reconnecting with your inner child through imagery and breath
✅ Identifying the core wound that shaped your earliest emotional landscape
✅ Noticing how that wound still influences your adult behaviors
✅ Practicing attunement—meeting the inner child with compassion, not correction
✅ Offering healing words and loving action to reparent yourself
✅ Integration—bringing the inner child home to your heart


✨ Key Takeaways & Reflections

📌 “You are not broken—you are remembering.”
📌 Awareness is the first step in healing. The wound may still show up, but now you can choose to respond with love.
📌 Reparenting is not about fixing—it’s about being present with what was once unmet.
📌 Your inner child doesn’t need perfection. They just need presence.
📌 Every time you return with tenderness, you rewrite the story.
