The Power of Inner Child Healing: Transform Your Life Today

This blog’s topic is a conversation about “healing our inner child“.

This was an excerpt from my woman’s podcast She Thrives with Stef Barti

You can listen to the podcast version and also in video format below

Slowing Down so You can Hear your inner voice

This is a topic that is so close to my heart. Yes, I’m gonna try my best not to cry, because I’ve been crying this entire weekend. We had that amazing yoga with a small group of people.

We were probably 14, mostly women. So we had a lot of time for connection on a deeper level. And it was absolutely amazing.

We did yoga, but also we did a lot of workshop about self-improvement and stuff like that, which is a big topic that I’m really passionate about.

a heart to heart conversation

There’s a collective awakening

So getting onto the big topic of healing our inner child.

And I’m so happy that this is a conversation that is starting to pick up on social medias, Instagram, TikTok, you name it.

People are waking up. People are curious. People are hungry for this type of content, and I’m here for it.

Showing up for Yourself

It is so important of us to be there for ourselves.

One of the workshop we did during the retreat, after we our beautiful sound healing session with Shahad, was draw cards.

We had to step inside, step in front, and pick a card. You know, like just blindly pick one.

And then there’s a booklet that tells you the exact meaning of your card.

I really wanted to like it

The need to mother Yourself

And then in my book, I mean, the card I picked was, literally requiring for me to mother my inner child.

To say that I ugly cried and teared up so badly would be a major understatement. 🀭

So which also inspired this conversation.

Yoga weekend retreat
So much love & gratitude

The reason why this is such an intense topic for me is because so many of us, I feel like we’re kind of healing childhood trauma and childhood wounds, you know, from our parents.

A lot of time, they tried their best.

Healing Your childhood Traumas

That said, so many of us still come from a very abusive background, but others were like seemingly good.

It’s just that our parents didn’t have the tools to support us and be there for us, and they didn’t have the awareness.

It was just a different time, right?

Awareness & multi generational differences

Now we’re lucky that all this content is coming out.

There’s the internet to raise awareness.

Access to information

There is so much available

But our previous generation weren’t so lucky, unfortunately.

So we are often left having to gather the broken pieces and heal our inner wounds from childhood trauma.

Facing Your Inner Demons

Also, the retreat is actually in a place without alcohol, so I think that’s amazing because I’m also doing a dry November where I’m not drinking any alcohol.

If that’s something you’re interested in doing too, you should definitely do it.

Do your best

I think that it’s very important for us to be there for us, even if we didn’t have the parents that we needed, even if we didn’t have the support that we needed.

It’s important for us to keep showing up and do the work, the healing work.

For us to keep diving into those trauma, to expose our lack that we had growing up, and to be there for our inner child.”

Your inner child is waiting for your love

I saw this picture on the internet once. I don’t know if I can find it, but imagine you, and a shadow inside.

The shadow is meant to represent your inner child. A five, six, seven, eight years old, all crawled up in the fetus position.

A very gentle reminder for you be aware, be gentle and keeping guiding yourself.

Always Show Yourself Kindness

That’s why I’m so adamant about the whole concept of us needing to be kind with each other.

Because so often we can be so critical to ourselves.

Right, but we have to understand that we’re dealing with childhood wounds.

And just like I said, a lot of us didn’t have the parents that we needed.

No hard feelings, but that’s just the reality.

Build & Prioritize Your Support System

β€œWe didn’t have a support system, and we had to navigate life by ourselves.

So in a way, that’s why I’m so grateful for anyone tuning in right now.

That’s why I’m so grateful about all this amazing content that is flooding the internet nowadays on social media.

Show up with Gratitude

That’s why I’m so grateful that there are so many amazing teachers, professionals, psychologists, therapists, so many people that are just tackling those topics, because we really need these people.

We really need to have this guidance in our lives so we can navigate our daily struggles.

So I’m not gonna make this too long today because that’s a topic that I really wanna dive in more in the future.

But the message is very simple.

Never Lose Hope

We need to be there for our inner child and show up for ourselves.

So this was my message for today. But before I go, remember my love, that you are a beautiful, unique creation, a masterpiece, one of a kind, and can never be duplicated.

I wish you a nice day, and I will see you in the next one

Feminine Embodiment & Self Love Practice

I created my “Unleash your Feminine Power” to help you really start diving into your own unique power.

It’s time for us women to start appreciating our own magic

In this course, you will learn to connect with your body through some very sensual movements.

There is no fancy choreography to worry about. I really wanted to make this as simple as possible.

The goal is to give you a somatic practice that you can implement into your daily routine in order to start embodying your authentic self.

Because you are magic and deserve to take care of yourself

It is high time we start prioritizing our relationship with our own body too.

Because in order to be truly happy and content in life, I really believe you need to strike for a balance.

That means feeding your soul, your heart, your body.

You are magic !

And this is the goal of my ” Unleash your Feminine Power“.

The beautiful thing is that once you start getting in touch with that fire within, it only grows from there.

This energy will go on to light up your path, simultaneously guiding you through life.

So in a way, it is your own inner guiding compass. πŸ’•

Women Self Love Wellness Retreat

I am so passionate about women empowerment. Everything I do is based on this. I want to see more women embrace their authentic selves. Trust me life gets so much better.

That’s the main focus of my self love women retreat. In this Wellness retreat, we go deep. I really love to connect with my fellow sisters.

That’s why I only do small groups of 10-12 women.

This retreat is an invitation to embody your feminine and to dive into radical self love. Growth and shedding past limiting beliefs is the focal point.

We do this through various workshops, wellness practices such as breath work and lots of somatic movement.

As a dance teacher, of course we will also be using the power of dance and music to process, release and shed things that are holding us back so we can be born again.

Welcome to our transformational retreat where the focus is all on YOU.

Not only that, but we do it in style and comfort.
