Walking Back to Yourself

If you’ve spent your whole life earning love, performing for it, waiting for it to be given without strings, this one is for you. There’s a part of you that has been waiting a long time for you to come back. In this episode, Toni breaks down what the inner child, what she actually is, why she’s been so hard to reach, and why healing her isn’t as simple as doing something fun or giving yourself a treat. Toni talks about the distortion that forms when love came with conditions, how that distortion becomes the ceiling on everything you think you deserve. She also talks about why your inner child isn’t waiting for you with open arms, why trust has to be earned back with yourself, and what it actually looks like to stop abandoning yourself and start turning inward. She also shares a simple place to start if you feel disconnected from your body or can’t feel anything at all.
