In this episode, I am joined by Hope Carpenter (@hopehealingarts), a multi-disciplinary healing arts practitioner, mentor, writer, and survivor-turned-advocate who has been working in the fields of wellness, spirituality, and intuitive healing for over 12 years. In this conversation, we go into how self-compassion is such an important and sacred part of the journey in healing from trauma. We discuss how telling someone to "get out of their comfort zone" may be more harmful than helpful to a trauma survivor that needs to create and embody more safety. Hope then shares with us how they allow for their Inner Child's joy and creativity to be channeled through setting aside intentional time for stillness, movement, and space. I enjoyed this conversation with Hope and hope you will too!


This episode invites you to explore the following questions:

  • How can I practice more self-compassion towards myself and my Inner Child?
  • How can I make time to slow down every day and just listen to what arises within?
  • What does safety look and feel like for me? 
  • How can I cultivate more safety within and around me while on my healing journey?
  • What can I do today to connect more to my Inner Child and tap into my innate sense of joy, wonder, and creativity?
