She's So Lucky

Healing Your Inner Child + Finding Joy in Your Healing Journey with Dr. Peace Amadi


Listen Later

Emotional healing is probably one of the most challenging forms of healing. In order to attend to who we are as fully formed adults, it is imperative that we understand our inner child to aid in our healing journey.

That’s why we’re talking to the amazing Dr. Peace Amadi, a mental health expert, professor, author, TEDx speaker, TV host, and trauma-informed coach who has helped leaders heal including everyone from entrepreneurs to content creators, to pastors to parents.

Dr. Peace is a coach and cheerleader to the people in our lives that everyone goes to. She explains neuroplasticity and what affects our ability to change, what it means to heal, and how we can incorporate joy into our healing process.

We Also Talk About…

  • How to identify what your inner child needs to heal.
  • What “healing” means, and whether or not we can ever be fully healed.
  • How healing impacts our ability to adapt to change.
  • Why we should be asking “what happened to you?” instead of “what’s wrong with you?”
  • The importance of connection and relationships when it comes to healing.
