Inner Child Wounds and How to Heal Them as a Woman 40+

Today, I wanna talk about something a little bit scary, but so damn important: healing inner child wounds.

As children, we are incredibly impressionable and things we learn in childhood have a massive effect on how we show up in adulthood. For instance:

Someone who wasn't taught how to process emotions might become avoidant in adulthood, have trouble recognizing emotions in others, and/or may have trouble communicating their own needs.

A person who has childhood abandonment wounds might have an anxious attachment style in adulthood or have trouble trusting others.

Someone who has been taught to put others first may ultimately struggle with boundaries and self-care.

I had a profound conversation with Yolanda Cortez this week on Becoming Unstoppable: The Podcast on how having a narcissitic parent can even lead to becoming an anxious over-achiever as an adult!

No one escapes childhood wounds, even if you had a stable and happy home growing up, because fundamentally parents are humans too, bringing their own limitations, triggers and needs to parenthood. Not to mention our parents are not our only influences. We learn from friends, peers, teachers and even media and...

...not all of that information is helpful.

An important part of healing is to start to recognize not only what you think but also where you got that story from. Identifying the origin of our thoughts and inner narratives gives us the power to renegotiate them.

I believe in this so much, I have built and en entire career around this. 

I have helped hundreds (literally hundreds) of people, especially women in their 40s+, get the courage to face what is holding them back (inner child wounds and all) so that they can make room to fly.
