What happens when you realize you didn’t receive the love you needed growing up?Not consistently.Not in the ways that mattered.Not at the moments your nervous system needed safety, softness, and attunement.This episode is an invitation to sit with that truth… without shame, without blame, and without rushing to fix it.Because reparenting ourselves is not just a mindset shift.It is grief work.It is nervous system work.It is spiritual work.In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of traveling to Mexico with my mother to say goodbye to my 98-year-old abuelito. What I witnessed between them was tender, loving, and complete. And at the same time, it illuminated a wound I had carried for years.The ache of not receiving that same kind of love from my own father.You will hear me hold something many of us struggle with.How to have compassion for our parents’ limitations while still honoring the pain of what we did not receive.Because both are true.This episode explores:Why you are not responsible for what happened to you, but you are responsible for tending to yourselfThe grief of not receiving the love you needed, even when your parents did the best they couldHow childhood wounds show up in adulthood, in relationships, leadership, and self-talkWhat it actually looks like to reparent yourself in everyday momentsA guided somatic practice to connect with and support your younger selfThis is not about blaming your parents.This is about releasing yourself from waiting.And learning how to become a safe place… for yourself.Because sometimes healing does not begin when we are finally loved the way we needed.It begins when we realize we can become that love for ourselves.🎧 Listen, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this.
