EMPOWERED LIVING

Achieving & Living Your Full Potential | Cleaning Up The Parts Of Your Life You've Been Neglecting

This can be uncomfortable. You've achieved a lot of success, but that doesn't necessarily translate as happiness. In fact, you suspect you should be having more fun. Often we reconcile our dissatisfaction with our present situation by declaring 'it normal'. However, this reasoning rarely satisfies and only deepens the discontent.

It's time to build more resilience and develop stronger foundations. I invite you to genuinely heal your triggers and step into personal freedom.

It’s June, we're midway through the year and the call to reclaim your Inner Child is rising. This often-neglected part of you holds the key to greater well-being. When you re-connect with the part of yourself you’ve overlooked or rejected, your heart opens, your joy elevates, and clarity returns. From this space, inspiration flows and your most cherished desires become achievable.

As we begin this work, a deeper truth often surfaces, one that lives quietly beneath the polished exterior of our adult lives:
We are still waiting for the love, reassurance, safety, and/or security we didn’t receive as a child. We long to have our needs met and to feel safe. You might not think this is true however when you get to the root of any story your carrying, you'll find resonance with this statement.

In the heart of June, as the european summer unfolds in the northern hemisphere, the solstice light reaches its peak, and we are cosmically invited to direct that light inwards - toward deeper self-reflection, renewal, and alignment. To illuminate the neglected corners of our psyche. To call forth the child within us who still seeks safety, delight, and acknowledgment.

This is not a sentimental exercise or a poetic metaphor.
This is soul work.

The Inner Child Is Real—And They're Still Listening

Your inner child isn’t just a memory or a psychological concept. It's an energetic imprint that lives within your nervous system, your emotional responses, your sense of worth, and your capacity for joy.

You may see their fingerprints in moments of irrational fear, sudden joy, or unexpected sadness. When your team misunderstands you and a part of you feels like shutting down - that’s your inner child. When you overextend to be liked or safe - that’s them, too.

But here’s the gift: what was once a wound can become a doorway.
By learning to Reparent ourselves, we don’t just heal - we transform.

What Is Reparenting, Really?

Reparenting is the conscious practice of offering yourself the presence, safety, affection, structure, and emotional mirroring you may not have received in childhood.

Most of us were raised by caregivers who did the best they could. But generational trauma, emotional immaturity, and societal conditioning often left gaps in our development - especially around emotional Attunement, boundaries, and unconditional love.

Reparenting Asks:

• What did I need as a child that I didn't receive?
• How can I offer that to myself now, consistently, and compassionately?

In spiritual terms, it is the divine adult self - your Higher Self - stepping in to guide and hold the wounded and magical parts of your psyche with unconditional presence.

The Invitation: Let The Light Into Your Heart

The June Solstice is a powerful threshold - in many ancient traditions, it's a time of celebration, illumination, and honouring the sacred fire within.

In the context of 'Reparenting', this Summer Season reminds us: You hold the light your inner child has been waiting for.

Accessing Your Inner Child:

This is a beautiful moment to invite your younger self back into the conversation.

Imagine your younger self now, and ask:

• Where are they?
• How old are they?
• What are they wearing?
• What do they need?

Instead of offering advice or analysis, try simply being with them. Presence heals more deeply than any solution. You are not here to fix them - you are here to witness, love, and protect them.

The Power of Play: More Than Just a Distraction

Reclaiming your inner child is not just about emotional healing - it's also about creative resurrection.

Children are naturally intuitive, imaginative, and present. When we engage in play - drawing, dancing, singing, exploring, being silly - we activate neural pathways that restore safety, flexibility, and joy to the brain.

In corporate spaces, where structure and performance dominate, integrating play can feel radical. But it’s one of the fastest ways to return to your intuitive intelligence.

Ask yourself:

• When was the last time I played a game or did an activity with no purpose?
• What activity used to bring me joy before I believed I had to earn rest?
• What part of me is afraid to be myself, expressive, quirky, or seen?

You don’t have to leap into childhood gaming or play (though you totally can). Start small:

• Take a walk with no destination.
• Draw, paint or re-decorate.
• Make up a song while cooking.
• Speak kindly to your inner 7-year-old in the mirror while you get ready in the mornings.

These micro-acts of play and presence send a clear message to your inner child:
“You matter. You’re safe now. I’ve got you.”

Repatterning the Nervous System: Safety Is the New Success

One of the deepest outcomes of reparenting is the regulation of the nervous system. Many high-performing professionals unknowingly operate from dysregulated emotional states - fight, flight, or freeze.

When your inner child doesn’t feel safe, your body doesn’t either.

Reparenting brings safety back online by building new internal dialogues and somatic anchors.

Try this practice:

Reparenting In The Moment (5-Minute Practice)

1. Pause and place your hand over your heart or belly.
2. Take a few slow breaths. Close your eyes if it feels safe.
3. Ask yourself: “How old do I feel right now?”
4. Let an image or feeling emerge. Greet it with kindness.
5. Whisper inwardly:
• “I’m here.”
• “You’re safe with me.”
• “It is safe to feel.”
• "It is safe to express yourself."
• "It is safe to be."
6. Take one small action your inner child would appreciate, then have a glass of water, stretch, take a breath, and exhale deeply.

Over time, this builds emotional resilience and internal trust—a superpower in both spiritual and professional leadership. The premise of all healing, is to give yourself permission to give, have, or receive that which you were denied.

Quick Tip:

• Hug Yourself - if you need emotional stability; be open to receiving the love you desire
• Express Yourself - stay calm and say what you need to say; don't swallow your words or gloss things over
• Take Action - advocate for your needs reasonably and responsibly 

The Inner Child At Work: A Quiet Revolution

You might wonder how any of this connects to your work in the world.

The answer is: profoundly.

When you are attuned to your inner child, you:

• Make decisions from intuition, not fear.
• Set healthier boundaries without guilt.
• Create with passion instead of pressure.
• Communicate more openly and empathetically.
• Attract opportunities that align with your wholeness, not your wounds.

In essence, you lead not just with strategy, but with soul.

And for your teams, clients, or communities—this creates ripple effects of authenticity and emotional permission.

Integration: Questions for Reflection

As we move through June, consider journaling or meditating on these prompts:

1. What is one moment in childhood you longed to be seen or heard? What would you say to that version of you now?
2. What does “safety” feel like in your body? What supports it? What disrupts it?
3. If you allowed yourself to be playful this week, what might that look like?
4. What promise can you make to your inner child this summer?

The Truth: You Are the Parent You’ve Been Waiting For

Healing doesn’t mean we erase the past. It means we reclaim the parts of ourselves that were never meant to be left behind.

Your inner child doesn’t need you to be perfect, they just need you to be present. To show up consistently, gently, and to listen to the messaging. When you take action based on the messaging they are communicating, your life begins to flow, synchronicities increase, and doors open for you.

This June, as the European summer is upon us, and the light returns to the Earth, may it also return to your own heart.
May you remember that joy is not frivolous - it’s fuel. That imagination is not childish - it’s divine guidance.

And that the child within you has always been part of the blueprint of your brilliance.

Let them out. Let them speak. Give them a voice.
Let them lead you back home to your heart. Back to the place where infinite intelligence resides.
