Before you try to unlearn a habit, you have to understand why it existed in the first place.
In this opening episode of Season 2, we explore what the inner child actually means—not in an aesthetic or nostalgic way, but as the part of you shaped by early emotional environments. The part that learned how to stay safe, quiet, agreeable, or “easy” when consistency or understanding wasn’t guaranteed.
This episode reflects on:
How childhood adaptations become adult patterns
Why over-explaining, staying too long, or shrinking isn’t a flaw
The difference between self-awareness and self-blame
Why your nervous system may choose familiarity over peace
This conversation isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about recognizing that what you’re judging now once protected you.
Because this made sense back then.
