How Rediscovering Her Inner Child Helped Jonna Watson Find Her Voice Again

Text Kristen your thoughts or feedback about the showAdulting can be hard. So when someone tells you to take a few minutes for yourself, your first reaction may be something like, “Who has time for that?!”School psychologist, author and podcast host Jonna Watson is about to make the case that we can’t afford NOT to make time for some play. As a working mom, Jonna realized she had become disconnected and felt depleted. So to celebrate her 40th birthday, she challenged herself (and friends) to spend just five minutes a day reconnecting with her inner child (think of any activity that you used to enjoy as a child but seldom do today because life is just too busy).With this simple practice, Jonna discovered she was able to be fully present more often and make space to experience the joy and delight in life. AND this new habit also led her to start her own podcast, Five Minute Inner Child, publish two children’s books and start a local accountability group. Sounds like she found the secret formula for expanding time and energy - just by making time for play. Follow Jonna on Instagram @Jonna_Watson, check out her books and her podcast, Five Minute Inner Child. ICYMI Episode #6: Finding Fun by Letting GoJocey Wiitenan shares her healing journey from trauma and people-pleasing to inner peace and letting go.
