Inner Child Healing: How Childhood Wounds Can Shape Our Adult Behaviors and Self-Esteem
Have you ever been called a name about your physical body that you wish you weren’t being called, but decided to play it off as a joke instead of standing up for yourself?
In this episode, Tara, Maria and Elizabeth talk about the importance of identifying the true source of our problems—whether it’s a tripped breaker in the kitchen or a deeper emotional wound, such as childhood nicknames that have stuck around too long.
The episode explores topics like inner child work, emotional healing, and how our early life experiences shape our current relationships, especially with ourselves. From fitness to mental health, they discuss how understanding the "why" behind our struggles allows us to fix them at the root, rather than just treating the symptoms.
In this episode:
A funny story about appliances that weren't really broken—and the life lesson it taught.
How childhood wounds can show up in adult life, especially as "adult temper tantrums.”
The importance of finding the true source of emotional, mental, and physical issues.
Working on identifying the needs of your inner child to bring about lasting change.
Why we should stop commenting on appearance
Embracing the parts of yourself that have been criticized and turning them into sources of pride.
“Let’s stop commenting on each other’s appearance. Even if it’s a joke, it leaves a mark.”
