Episode 140. Embracing the Child Within by Karyn Lynn Grant, LMT, The Joy Coach In this heartwarming episode, Karyn Lynn Grant invites you to lovingly reconnect with the child within—the laughing child, the singing child, the forgiving child.

This guided experience is designed to awaken joy, nurture innocence, and tenderly restore your original connection to divine love.

What makes you feel safe and happy today? Is there something you wish grown-up me would understand? What do you need from me right now? Is there a memory you want to share with me? What color feels like you? How can I help you feel loved again? What did you believe about God when you were little? Do you feel like you have permission to laugh and play now?
