Have you ever wondered why you keep getting triggered by the same things — even after all the journaling and self-awareness? In this episode, I share the simple guided practice that’s helped me (and hundreds of clients) begin to truly heal codependency using shadow work, somatics, and inner child healing. You’ll learn how to meet core wounds with compassion, curiosity, and presence.

We’ll walk through:

* How to identify the root fear behind a trigger

* Why somatic awareness is key to inner child healing

* How to connect with your inner child (even if no memories come up)

* What it really means to reparent and set your inner child free

Am you parenting from a place of punishment, or are you guiding your child toward autonomy, self-respect, and healthy emotional expression? In this episode, I share my insights as a M.Ed and Montessori educator on how to foster respect, emotional resilience, and healthy boundaries in children.

Have you ever felt lingering tension in a relationship—like unspoken resentment, fear, or anxiety creating distance between you and your partner? In this episode, I dive into conscious clearing, a practice that helps clear unresolved conflict and deepen connection.

Rather than seeing conflict as something to avoid, I reframe it as an opportunity for growth, intimacy, and repair. I break down the three key steps for a conscious clearing, what tends to happen when we don’t have these, and why it can positively impact our relationships.

This episode is for you if:

* You feel tension or unspoken resentment in your relationships.

* You struggle with how to approach difficult conversations without making things worse.

* You want to learn a simple practice for clearing conflict and deepening emotional intimacy.
