Healing My Inner Child has been a Wild Ride

H

This little dude inside of me—the one who’s been secretly running the show—he’s pretty magnificent. Despite the chaos, the obstacles, and the challenges life threw at him, he survived.

He navigated a crazy world with a scrappy kind of wisdom, holding it together long enough for me to catch up and start the healing.

Honestly, aren’t we all just big babies with big toys, big dreams, and big traumas? As I approach 50, I’m stepping into this next chapter of life, business, and family with curiosity and gratitude.

Because healing and happiness? That’s an inside job.
