🎭 Overcoming the Need to Perform & Healing Your Inner Teenager with Aly Pain

If you ever felt difficult, mouthy, or even like you couldn't advocate for yourself as a teen - or let’s be real, maybe you still feel this way sometimes - this one’s for you. And your inner teenager. Aly & I talk about overcoming the need to perform (rooted in childhood) and how healing our inner teenagers created space for us to live more authentically. I think you’ll leave feeling more in touch with your feelings, open to expressing them, and maybe even allowing some more space in your life for your inner teenager to come out. 🎥 WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@rootandrisepodcast 🗣️ JOIN THE CONVO I want to hear from you!
