Ep. 4 - What Helps Me Know What My Inner Child Needs?


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt unsure about what your inner child needs — or afraid you’re getting it wrong — this episode is for you.

We explore how your inner child’s needs often show up not in words, but in patterns, emotions, and the body. You’ll learn how to gently listen without pressure, decode everyday clues, and stay present even when the answers aren’t clear.

🌱 In this episode:

  • Why “fixing” doesn’t work — but presence does

  • Emotional patterns as unmet childhood needs

  • How the body holds what your inner child is trying to say

  • A short guided meditation to practice listening gently

📖 Book Mention: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson is a deeply validating, compassionate, and eye-opening read—especially for people who grewup feeling unseen, confused, or emotionally neglected by their caregivers.

You don’t have to know everything.
You just have to stay.
Your inner child already knows — they’re just waiting for you to believe them.
