Hey Loves, In this episode we’re focusing on the importance of healing our inner child. I’m candid around some the experiences I’ve had in my childhood and how I’m actively working to heal from past trauma. I consider how some ideas, beliefs, and practices in Black households have inflicted trauma for generations, and should end with us. We talk about how closely related inner child healing work is with shadow work and how both can aid in transformational healing on our spiritual journey.
