What would change if you had unshakeable self-worth? If judgment fell away and you tended to yourself with pure compassion, what version of self would come forward?
In this episode—a continuation of our Inner Child Phases series—Lacy, Jessica, and LMFT EMDR Therapist Janelle explore the final three stages of inner child development: Creativity & Play (ages 3-5), Confidence & Competence (ages 5-3), and Authentic Identity & Belonging (ages 13-21). These foundational years are where your creativity, passion, and your truest, weirdest self come into being.
For many of us, this is also where shame, conditioning, and “shoulds” begin to hide our light. This challenge is designed to restore a sense of safety, nurturing, and self-trust—so you can reconnect with who you’ve always been (and were always meant to be).
A reminder for whoever needs it: you’re allowed to play for play’s sake. To slow down, create beauty, and experience joy simply because it feels good. When you quiet the inner critic and reconnect with curiosity and creativity, you give your inner child permission to live in their truth.
It’s time to return to your magic.
**Trigger warning: We discuss healing from sexual abuse and trauma from 48:00 through 50:40**
