In this episode of W Ap Koute M M Ap Koute W, I explore one of the most tender and transformative parts of healing — the journey of healing your inner child with self-compassion.

The inner child is the part of you that still carries the emotions, fears, and unmet needs from your earliest experiences — the part that learned to stay quiet, perform, or be strong just to feel loved. I talk about how those early patterns follow us into adulthood and how awareness, curiosity, and compassion can begin to shift them.

I also share a personal story about growing up without my father, how that shaped my need to be seen, and what it means to finally say to that younger part of myself: “I see you. You are safe. You don’t have to earn love.”

This episode invites you to reconnect, re-parent, and rebuild a sense of wholeness from the inside out.

Listen now and begin your own journey toward gentle self-compassion.
