Welcome to this week’s episode. As you know if you are a regular listener to this podcast, what we experience in our childhood unconsciously shapes and determines our entire approach to life as adults. Once we know this, it gives us something very powerful. And that is choice. Once we have a choice to become aware of our unconscious belief patterns and where they come from in our childhood, then we can change them.

I find that the most exciting thing in the world. Regardless of how you were parented or how your early experiences were you have the power to change how you show up in parenthood. And I believe that is whole, full of love, and infinite potential.

And that is what this week’s episode is all about. It will show you how to connect to your childhood experiences if you want to enact change as an adult. If you are getting stuck it could be because of something that happened in your childhood.

Stephanie Stahl is known as Germany’s psycho-therapist superstar. She is one of Germany's top psychologists and authors on how to confront your past, trauma, fear and shame and live more authentically. She has written 10 books. Her latest one, the Child in You, is brilliant. It’s been a multimillion best seller in Europe and it’s about to be released in the UK.

I loved how practical the book is. Super simple yet transformational. I love this episode and hope you do too.

We talk about:

- What your inner child is

- Why it is important and why you should care

- How to connect with your childhood experiences

- How the inner shadow child can manifest in adulthood

THIS EPISODE IS KINDLY SUPPORTED BY TU

My parenting in a pandemic workshop series with Tu has now finished and was a huge success. I absolutely loved connecting with those of you that came. Summaries of each of the four workshops are on @tuclothing Instagram.

What I really took from the workshops was the power of validating just how challenging this pandemic has been for new parents - there is so much strength in a shared experience and a safe place to process that experience.

Thank you so much to the wonderful Tu for partnering with me to make the workshops happen. Please do check out their spring collection at tu.co.uk - it's gorgeous, there’s a pair of floral dungarees and the most amazing yellow raincoat I’m buying for Rose. So head over to tu.co.uk to have a look.
