What happens when you finally stop living to make everyone else comfortable and start honouring what your soul actually needs? In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Rian Kansiime, founder of Cocoa Life Coaching, who made the courageous decision to end her marriage, face her childhood trauma, and completely reset her life—all so she could show up authentically for herself and her children.

Rian shares her powerful journey from fear-based people-pleasing to radical self-acceptance, and why she believes we must parent our inner child before we can truly parent our children. We dive deep into what childhood trauma actually looks like (hint: it's not always what you think), why we're so terrified to look inward, and how healing our deepest wounds can unlock the most radiant version of ourselves.

This conversation will challenge you to examine your own patterns, give you permission to prioritise your healing, and inspire you to believe that no matter where you've been, you have everything you need within you to create the life you truly want.

Perfect for you if:

• You struggle with putting everyone else's needs before your own
• You're ready to break generational patterns and heal childhood wounds
• You're considering a major life change but feel paralysed by fear
• You want to understand how inner child work can transform your relationships
• You're ready to stop writing yourself off and start believing in your own magic
