Ep 50: Why Inner Child Healing Boosts Your Child's Development

“…updating our beliefs and what we consider as true, common, and normal is hard. It’s hard to question the oppressive status quo and outdated family cycles, especially when there’re multiple global crises happening, unrelenting grief to process, and white colonial capitalist patriarchy to survive.  Updating your beliefs about who you are and what you’re worthy of is even harder. Yet, you’re here…shaking this belief that what you had to overlearn to protect yourself and survive is your identity. A strategy isn’t an identity. You are more than your survival.”
