How to Connect With Your Inner Child (Part 1) | ES237

If anxiety, overwhelm, or insecurity seem to appear out of nowhere, there’s a good chance it isn’t random at all; it may be your inner child asking for attention. In this episode, we explore a healthy, grounded, and compassionate way to begin connecting with your inner child.

Rather than trying to fix, suppress, or analyze these feelings, you’ll learn how to recognize them as meaningful signals and respond with curiosity and care. I share a simple framework for building a relationship with your inner child, one that doesn’t rely on reliving the past, but instead helps you understand how early experiences still influence your emotions today.

This episode is about connection and compassion, learning to see your anxiety not as a flaw, but as a younger part of you that needs understanding, patience, and reassurance.

When you respond to your inner child with kindness instead of resistance, something begins to shift. You move from feeling overwhelmed by emotions to becoming the calm, steady presence your inner child has been waiting for.
