S2/Episode 5 - The Child Within

Kenosis – She Who Remembers Episode 5: The Child Within In this deeply personal episode, Donna explores the tender terrain of the inner child — the part of us that learned how to survive before it learned how to feel safe. Through storytelling, nervous system awareness, and gentle reflection, she shares how early wounds — especially those that were unseen, unvalidated, or silenced — continue to shape our adult reactions, relationships, and sense of worth. This episode weaves together: The body’s memory of trauma How the nervous system holds unresolved fear The difference between reacting as an adult and responding from the wounded child The power of self-validation and re-parenting Why sovereignty begins with compassion for the younger self Donna speaks openly about her own experiences of shock, vulnerability, and childhood anxiety — and how holding space for the “little one within” is not weakness, but profound strength. This is an invitation to soften. To listen. To remember that healing is not about fixing yourself — it is about finally sitting beside the child who needed you. If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who may be quietly carrying their younger self alone.
