Summary
In this episode, I'm on the other side of the mic.
I was interviewed by coach and podcast host Andy Hoffer about inner child work — not as a theory, but as the deep patterning that continues to shape our relationships, decisions, and self-trust as adults.
We talk about why so many people can be successful, self-aware, and still feel stuck… how childhood survival strategies quietly show up under stress… and what it actually takes to untangle these patterns in a way that creates real change.
If you've done a lot of personal growth work but notice the same reactions, habits, or relationship dynamics repeating, this conversation will resonate.
And if you want to go deeper, I invite you to my free masterclass, Untangled, where I teach how to break the childhood patterns that quietly run your adult life.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody and welcome to the show for today. This is a unique episode because I happen to be the guest today, |
| 0:10.7 | one of my clients who I've had the honor and privilege to coach and watch her build an incredible |
| 0:16.6 | coaching practice asked to interview me about inner child work. And it was such a great conversation. |
| 0:23.3 | She's such a great interviewer that I wanted to re-air it here. You've heard me talk about |
| 0:27.4 | inner child work, but I thought it would be interesting to actually hear me be interviewed about it |
| 0:33.1 | because there are some things that you might hear in a new way or a different way. And I am just so |
| 0:39.0 | passionate about this work. And as the world seems to get more and more crazy and as more, |
| 0:45.7 | oh, just ugly, awful truths are revealed, we're just seeing the importance of creating healthy |
| 0:54.1 | people, like healthy individuals. And I said in a podcast |
| 0:58.6 | a couple weeks ago, in a world where there just seems to be so much beauty and love and joy |
| 1:05.6 | and also has the contrast of evil, I'll just leave it at that, it can sometimes feel, we can feel |
| 1:12.6 | helpless and we can think that working on ourselves is selfish. And I beg to differ. |
| 1:19.1 | When we work on ourselves, and what I mean by that is undo the patterns and programming that are |
| 1:27.3 | keeping us out of love, like out of self-love, |
| 1:30.7 | out of real healthy relational love and out of love from our higher power, whatever that is. |
| 1:36.0 | We do that work. That's how we shift consciousness. That's how we raise different children. |
| 1:41.5 | And I don't know any parent who can parent really well and can parent a |
| 1:48.2 | healthy child if they haven't done their own inner child work. And regardless of whether |
| 1:53.1 | you're a parent or not, your past continues to be in your present until you reprogram it. Time heals all wounds is a myth. |
| 2:05.3 | Maybe a cut on your knee, but not your childhood. It's something that requires active |
| 2:12.4 | participation in so that your past doesn't keep creating your present and your future. And I dive |
| 2:19.6 | into that a little bit more in this interview. I want to tell you a little bit more about Andy. |
