What happens after you've met your inner critic (explored in Ep 4)? The healing journey continues by gently turning towards the parts of us that have been most impacted.
In this deeply personal solo reflection, Tiffany explores tending to our vulnerable selves , those younger versions or sensitive aspects within us carrying past hurts, old wounds, and the echoes of what the inner critic often targets. She shares an intimate part of her own story, including experiences with her inner child, navigating pain, and the path towards choosing healing and rebuilding her sense of self.
Discover why acknowledging these vulnerable versions of us with compassion, rather than judgment, is a crucial step in the healing process. Learn gentle first steps you can take to create internal safety, begin rebuilding self-trust, and truly understand that what happened to you is not who you are. This episode is an invitation to meet yourself with profound kindness and begin the tender work of coming home.

In this episode of Rooted & Roaming, we gently turn toward one of the loudest, most familiar voices in the in-between: the inner critic.
You know the one, the voice that whispers, “You’re not enough,” questions every move, and keeps you clinging to perfection just to feel worthy. It shows up when we’re growing, shifting, or daring to listen to our own intuition. And it can feel brutal.
But what if we stopped trying to silence the inner critic… and started understanding it instead?
In this solo reflection, Tiffany shares her own raw, personal story of how her inner critic shaped her self-worth, her relationships, and even her drinking—and how she began to reclaim her voice, her healing, and her power.
You’ll also learn:
Where the inner critic often comes from
Why it’s not your fault it’s so loud
Simple, powerful ways to create distance from it
Grounded practices to begin choosing self-compassion over self-doubt
And how to begin building a new relationship with yourself—one that doesn’t rely on shame to grow
This episode is real, tender, and rooted in the kind of truth most of us are afraid to say out loud. You're not alone in this.

What if the voice you’ve been trying to hear… is already within you?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by someone truly special—Jaycee Valkyrie, a U.S. Veteran, Certified Holistic Wellness Coach, and the founder of Operation Phoenix. She’s a fierce mental health advocate and a woman who doesn’t just speak about intuition, she lives it.

We talk about:
What intuition actually is (and what it’s not)
How to recognize its quiet voice beneath the noise
Why it’s so hard to trust ourselves after religious or societal conditioning
Simple ways to begin tuning back in, even if your intuition feels silent
Jaycee’s personal story of following her inner voice…
