Reparenting Your Inner Child - Becoming Who You Needed

What if you could go back and give your younger self exactly what she needed? In this episode, I explore one of the most practical tools for healing your mother wound: reparenting your inner child. This isn't just theory – it's how you stop waiting for your mother to change, apologize, or finally give you what you need. Instead, you become the consistent, loving presence your younger self has been waiting for. I walk you through common unmet childhood needs like unconditional love, emotional safety, and celebration of your uniqueness, then provide daily practices for giving these gifts to yourself now. From daily check-ins with your inner child to learning to celebrate your wins big and small, this episode offers concrete tools for taking back control of your healing. I also guide you through a 5-minute visualization exercise to connect with your younger self and begin the reparenting process.

With this episode you'll be able to:

• Understand what reparenting your inner child actually means
• Identify common unmet childhood needs like unconditional love and emotional validation
• Practice daily check-ins to ask "What does my inner child need right now?"
• Learn to comfort yourself the way you would comfort a child who's upset
• Give yourself permission to celebrate wins both big and small without moving goalposts
• Validate your own feelings while taking responsibility for your behaviors
• Protect your energy like you would protect a child from harmful influences

Don't forget to try the 5-minute visualization exercise at the end – it's a way to connect with your younger self and begin giving her what she's been waiting for!
