In this deeply moving episode of The Healing Versions Podcast, Deborah sits down with transformational coach, author, and founder of Awaken the One, Lisa Watson, for a raw and expansive conversation about healing, inner child work, and reclaiming personal sovereignty.
Lisa shares her powerful life journey—from a childhood shaped by abandonment, addiction, and emotional neglect, to nearly three decades in a narcissistic marriage—and how those experiences ultimately led her to her life's calling. Rather than being defined by trauma, Lisa explains how early exposure to spiritual principles and personal development helped her alchemize pain into purpose.
Together, Deborah and Lisa explore how childhood conditioning forms subconscious beliefs that shape our adult lives, relationships, and sense of self-worth. Lisa breaks down her signature "Reparent Yourself" method, offering practical, real-time tools for healing abandonment wounds, regulating the nervous system, rewriting limiting beliefs, and creating emotional safety from within.
This episode dives into:
How abandonment wounds show up in adult relationships
Why the first seven years of life are so critical to subconscious programming
The connection between trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and addiction
What reparenting yourself actually looks like in everyday life
How awareness, self-talk, and boundaries become pathways to freedom
Why healing isn't about fixing yourself—but remembering your innocence
This conversation is honest, emotional, and empowering. If you've ever struggled with feeling unworthy, afraid of being left, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or disconnected from your authentic self, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and hope.
✨ You are worthy. You are safe. And healing is possible—right here, right now.
