Begin Reparenting Your Inner Child Today
Reparenting your inner child can relieve burdens that you’ve carried for far too long. When our wounded inner child is at the helm of our emotions, we can feel like we’re waiting around to be rescued, to be saved, for someone outside of us to take care of us. We can be quick to anger,…
Read MoreEp #25: Reparenting Your Inner Child
All of us experience scary, unsettling, or patronizing events when we’re children – often many times. Kids are incredibly sensitive to both sorrow and joy, and it makes sense that our early impressions of these emotions (and the experiences that are linked to them) stick with us well into adulthood. And sometimes, the adults in…
Read MoreLearn How to Enter Emotional Adulthood
Our inner child is that child part of us that continues to inhabit us into adulthood and can guide us to act in ways that we may not love as adults. When we don’t learn to regulate our emotions as children, we can carry those lessons of feeling disappointed or anxious into adulthood. When we’re…
Read MoreEp #24: Emotional Adulthood
As adults, we sometimes do things that seem totally out of alignment with our grown-up sensibilities. Like flipping someone off in traffic, or having a meltdown about missing the train that’s supposed to take you to yoga class, or snapping at your family for being vaguely annoying. These are great examples of moments where we…
Read MoreEp #23: Emotional Childhood
If you’ve spent any time around kids, you’re probably familiar with their general fear of being in trouble, getting yelled at, etcetera.

Read MoreCourageous Action: How to Find Your Courage
Courage. It takes courage to look at your life and to say, “I want to do this thing differently,” and to then take the steps needed to get you there. Because without taking new actions, how can you live the life of your dreams? Same old thoughts, same old feels, same old actions, same old…
Read MoreEp #22: Inner Child
If you’re an adult existing in this world, you’ve probably had a full-on temper tantrum at some point – one worthy of any toddler. Afterward, you might have even been bewildered at how upset you felt and why you had such a strong reaction, often to things that are actually pretty mundane: your boss ignoring…
Read MoreEp #21: You’re a Human Being Not a Human Doing
Self-care and self-love are some of today’s biggest buzzwords. These concepts, while useful at their core, have become associated with an external state: laying on a beach, unbothered by work or the rush of everyday life, soaking up nature (and maybe a fancy drink). It looks pretty nice, but this idyllic (and expensive!) depiction can…
Read MoreEp #20: Expectations and the “How-To” Guide to Other Humans
When people don’t act just the way we want them to, it can leave us feeling frustrated or neglected and can send us down a path of negative thinking and emotions. Why? Because, consciously or not, we’ve created “how-to” guides for how those close to us should behave and we tie a lot of emotions…
