172. How To *Actually* Heal Your Inner Child (The Step Most People Miss)

Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of the It's Fucking Spiritual Podcast! Today, I'm diving deep into inner child healing—a huge topic in the healing community and central to my work. I'll explain why it's crucial to feel intense emotions like rage, fear, and shame in your body, not just process them in your mind. This episode introduces you to Internal Family Systems (IFS), explaining the roles of our protector parts—managers and firefighters—that shield our vulnerable inner child. I'll share signs that you might need inner child healing, recount my own experiences, and offer steps to truly heal your inner child. Plus, hear about my upcoming program, Expand, where we’ll take this work even further. Get ready to transform your life and embrace all parts of you!
