Sometimes, inspiration comes from the car, so today I’m bringing another important reminder for you from behind the steering wheel. As I am working with amazing clients, I’m seeing myself mirrored back at me. And sometimes that feels uncomfortable! I credit a lot of my success and happiness to becoming aware of how I was hanging on to old patterns through the inner child work I have done and continue to do. But no matter how much work I’ve done, my inner child pops up for me. Has this ever happened to you? All of a sudden, those old needs to fit in, to be validated or accepted from the outside, just come out of nowhere! So this episode is all about what I do in the situations that these old patterns still come through and what you may need in those moments the most.
