The Path to Emotional Honesty and Secure Attachment
In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into a topic that’s super close to my heart: healing your inner child. I know so many of us struggle with feeling like we don’t quite belong or that we’re misunderstood, and often, those feelings stem from some pretty intense experiences we had as kids, like attachment wounds and trauma.
But here’s the thing – if you want to heal those inner child wounds, you’ve got to get real about your feelings. Trust me, I’ve been there! We often hide our true selves just to please others and feel accepted, but those coping mechanisms? They’re holding us back from living our best lives.
So, how do we start healing? It’s all about validating your inner child’s emotions. Acknowledge the truth about the pain you’ve experienced instead of pushing it away. Reparent yourself with the unconditional love you’ve always deserved. It’s time to give yourself the love and acceptance you’ve been searching for all along!
Another key aspect of this journey is speaking your truth and honoring your boundaries, even if others don’t quite get it. Put your relationship with yourself first, because that’s the foundation for everything else in your life.
And listen, don’t get caught up in trying to be perfect! We all make mistakes, and that’s okay. Just love yourself through the process and focus on being authentic and accountable.
When you start reparenting your inner child and aligning your life with your true feelings, you’ll break free from those old patterns that have been holding you back. You’ll develop a secure, loving attachment with yourself, and that’s when the magic happens! This deep inner child work is the key to unleashing your most authentic self and sharing it with the world.
Trust me, this journey of healing your inner child is so worth it. You deserve to feel whole, loved, and understood. So let’s do this together – let’s get real, heal, and step into our most authentic, inspired lives!

As a Spiritual Coach & New Thought Leader, Candace focuses on a soul-centered approach to healing. It is her belief that many of our negative “symptoms” are signs that we are out of alignment with our true selves. We have been conditioned to align with external authorities, societal ideals, out of date learning styles and perfectionistic standards.
We can’t experience or maintain true health unless we are true to ourselves. To clear unwanted symptoms, we must get back into alignment with what we FEEL.
“We are not humans having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
