In this powerful and heart-stretching installment of The Inner Child Chronicles, Darnell Davis returns to the mic with raw truth and tender courage as he explores the grief many of us were never allowed to feel—let alone express.
Titled Let That Baby Cry, this episode digs into the emotional repression passed down through generations, especially for those raised to believe that vulnerability was weakness and tears were a luxury no one could afford.
Darnell shares deeply personal reflections, including the devastating loss of his mother and the unspoken family rules that taught him—and so many others—that there was no time to feel sorry for yourself. That strength meant silence. That you had to keep going, even while broken.
But silence doesn’t heal grief—it buries it. And buried grief doesn’t disappear—it grows heavier.
With his signature mix of storytelling, soul wisdom, and poetic clarity, Darnell invites listeners to return to the parts of themselves that are still aching, still grieving, still waiting to be seen. He makes space not just for the inner child’s tears, but for the adult’s heartbreak, too.
Whether you’re crying over childhood wounds, fresh losses, or dreams that never came to be, this episode is a reminder:
You don’t have to hold it in anymore.
Let that baby cry.
Let you cry.
This is the way back to yourself.
