Inner Child Work for Entrepreneurs: Liz's Story | Healing Heroines


Listen Later

This week's Healing Heroine is none other than Liz, a long-time small-business owner. She joins Hero and Confidence Coach Cait DeMello and host Chandler to explore what happens when entrepreneurship becomes an unexpected path of self-development. Liz walks us through the moments that pushed her into deeper personal work — scaling a business, outgrowing a role that no longer fit, and facing the emotional cost of leadership. Cait offers practical inner-child practices, parts-work, and somatic exercises that helped Liz reconnect with her authentic self and enhance her confidence as an entrepreneur.

This conversation is for anyone trying to build a life and a business without losing themselves in the process.


What You Will Learn

  • [00:08:47] The shift from “doing it all” to realizing that the version of you who built the business isn’t necessarily who you need to be now.
  • [00:24:14] How an initial outreach and simple connection call led to a coaching relationship that felt like a true fit.
  • [00:25:41] What the throat/edging exercise looked like in practice and why leaning into the sensation helped it ease.
  • [00:26:11] Why enlarging the feeling instead of pushing it away can make distress move through faster.
  • [00:29:11] How the “wild woman / lion” movement practice was used as a somatic, liberating tool and continues to be part of Liz’s routine.
  • [00:30:32] That Liz is now “much more in touch with my inner child” and can identify that part’s needs when it shows up.
  • [00:32:12] The Five Personality Patterns (the “leaving pattern”) helped Liz name a root theme about safety that reframed many of her life choices.
  • [00:51:52] A simple daily practice: carving out five minutes to notice feelings and re-learn how to be with yourself.
