Summary
In this week's episode, we're diving into the concept of emotional childhood and why so many adults are still driven by the impulses, fears, and desires of their inner child. We'll talk about how adults take responsibility for their choices, feelings, and actions, and explore the ways emotional childhood can show up in our lives. I'll also share some tips for bringing awareness to this pattern when it happens, and tell you about some experiences I've had when I've unwittingly allowed my inner child to take the wheel.
