    S2 E12 | Reconnecting with Your Inner Child: The Key to Your Purpose

    In this episode, we explore the importance of reconnecting with your inner child. The part of you that still holds your purest energy, creativity, and truth. As we mold clay together during the conversation, we invite you to create alongside us and tap back into the joy of play and presence. 🌼✨ Here’s a link to the clay we used: https://amzn.to/44IOOzG We talk about how your inner child is deeply connected to your sense of purpose. Often, when life feels heavy or unclear, it’s because we’ve disconnected from the part of ourselves that once dreamed without limits. Rebuilding that connection can open powerful doors to healing, creativity, and self-trust. To help you go deeper, we share four journaling prompts to reflect on 📝: What was I naturally drawn to as a childWhen did I feel most free and myself growing up?What was I told was “too much” or “not enough” about me?How can I make space for more play, imagination, or softness in my life now?
