    What 25 Years of Marriage Taught Us About the Inner Child

    In this candid and deeply personal episode, Karena is joined by her husband of 25 years, Charles, for a conversation about how the inner child shapes marriage. During a difficult season in their relationship, they turned to Imago Relationship Therapy, the couples therapy approach behind Harville Hendrix’s Getting the Love You Want, and began learning how to see the wounded child within each other rather than just reacting to the surface conflict. From grief and fear to everyday misunderstandings, they reflect on how criticism often masks unmet needs and why emotional safety matters more than being right. This episode is an invitation to listen differently, respond with greater awareness, and begin relating to the inner child beneath the reactions in the relationships that matter most. 👉 Subscribe to my YouTube channel and watch more episodes in the podcast playlist! 👉 Follow on Spotify and Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode!
