What if a single moment from your childhood could shape your entire perspective on safety and self-care? Join us on "Will You Walk With Me" as we unravel the intricate journey of inner child healing through the lens of yoga and faith. We kick off with a grounding moment of self-appreciation before delving into two profound stories from my life. First, I share how a seemingly simple love for cleanliness and order is rooted in a childhood incident that shattered my sense of security. Then, we explore my early enchantment with yoga as an escape from my mother's anxiety, and how it became a vital part of my self-care routine, guiding me through periods of intense personal growth and moments of vulnerability.

In this heartfelt episode, we also delve into the lasting impact of childhood trauma and the healing power of reparenting and faith. Discover how neglect from caregivers can lead to deep-seated feelings of unsafety and unlovedness, even in adulthood, and learn practical steps for healing, including visualization and self-compassion. With scriptural insights and a focus on nurturing your inner child, we emphasize the importance of fostering a sense of safety and love within yourself. Finally, I invite you to embrace the transformative power of God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, offering encouragement to seek professional help if needed and a reminder that you are a precious child of God.

Embark on a journey of discovery where the rolling of dice ignites personal transformation and community bonding. Together with my insightful producers, Andrew and Catherine, we unravel the dynamic world of role-playing games, particularly Dungeons & Dragons, and how they unlock creativity, provide therapeutic benefits, and foster spiritual growth. Weaving personal tales with expert commentary, our episode serves as a testament to the empowering nature of RPGs in shaping lives and nurturing connections.

We reflect on the profound impact of D&D on Andrew and Catherine's personal and spiritual journeys. It's not just about the game; it's about the lessons learned, the confidence built, and the support of a community that champions each member's growth. Tune in for an episode that's not just a conversation but an invitation to explore the depths of your own imagination and the potential for profound change that comes with it.

When life's relentless pace left me gasping for air, it was the ancient practice of mindfulness that offered a lifeline. This episode is a walk through the transformative power of mindfulness against the backdrop of a Christian life, where I share the profound impact an online course from Brown University had on my journey to emotional and physical rejuvenation. As I open up about seeking solace in scriptures from Philippians and Romans, discover how these words align with the principles of mindfulness to guide us toward a life of harmony and peace, even amid the world's chaos.

The conversation then shifts to an intimate reflection on a simple, yet powerful meditation technique that can be woven into daily life.
