Listen "Stop Dragging your Inner Child"
Episode Synopsis
We've all had those moments where we stumble upon an old photograph and get hit with a rush of nostalgia, right? Maybe it's hearing a Taylor Swift song, making a milkshake, or playing Mario Kart that bring back memories. Join us as we uncover the significance of how past experiences have shaped us, and how we can move forward with intentionality toward healing.This episode shines a light on the concept of reparenting ourselves as we unravel how early experiences create our worldviews and how we can harness the power of neuroplasticity to rewrite our narratives. We delve into the importance of self-care, reparenting ourselves, and how setting boundaries can sometimes require a bit of tough love for ourselves. In addition, we examine the profound impact of healing and unlearning for our inner child. In our reflections on childhood and growth, we find strength in acknowledging that all of our ages and experiences are still within us. We discuss rewiring negative self-talk, practicing self-compassion, and reconnecting with childhood joy for healing. From reminiscing about Taco Bell to indulging in nostalgic activities like playing Nintendo, we discover the simple yet profound ways to reconnect with our inner child.Topics this week include:PetsTaylor Swift Eras Tour MovieDreams and subconscious exploration (what do dreams about shoes mean?
