Inner Child Healing for Mothers: Breaking Generational Patterns with Lavinia Brown

Have you ever found yourself reacting in a way that surprises you, then wondering afterwards, "Where did that come from?" Today I am joined by Lavinia Brown, trauma informed psychodynamic coach, mother, educator, and founder of The Inner Child Healing Expert. Through her coaching, courses, podcast, and resources, Lavinia supports others to heal unresolved childhood wounds, understand their triggers, and break generational patterns so they can parent with greater awareness, calm, and connection. Together, we explore how our past experiences shape our present reactions, why motherhood often brings old wounds to the surface, and how inner child practices can help us respond differently to ourselves and our children. In this episode, we cover: • Inner child healing and conscious parenting• Mama rage, anxiety, shame, and emotional triggers• Reparenting yourself while raising children• Breaking generational cycles without blame• Nervous system regulation and emotional resilience• Practical ways to connect with your inner child Connect with Lavinia: Instagram: @the.innerchild.healing.expertWebsite: Lavinia BrownPodcast: Becoming UntriggeredFree workbook My links: Join the weekly live ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠women’s circles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow along on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Explore the book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reclaiming Circle ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠if you feel called to bring circle work into your community

Reclaiming Intimacy, Creativity, and Sexuality in Motherhood with Alexandra Roxo

In this episode I speak with Alexandra Roxo, writer, embodiment teacher, and relationship guide whose work explores emotional truth, sensuality, and the reclamation of feminine power within our lives and relationships. Together we move into a conversation that many women experience but rarely speak about openly.... What happens to intimacy, desire, and the heart within relationships as life changes through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood? We explore how sexuality is not only about intercourse, but a creative life force that can move through art, conversation, touch, movement, and the courage to express who we truly are. We speak about how motherhood can reshape the ways we experience our bodies, our feedback within relationships, and the pathways through which intimacy flows. Rather than seeing these shifts as something lost or broken, this conversation reflects on how women can gently reclaim themselves within changing seasons of life.

Social Anxiety, Discernment, and Gentle Reconnection S8E5

Social anxiety is not a flaws it's a nervous system response. In this episode, I explore anxiety as sensation rather than story, how it lives in the body, why it tightens, and how it forms through lived experience, collective instability, and loss of safety. I share my own experience of losing my home and business during Covid, navigating pregnancy in uncertainty, and how anxiety shaped my relationships and sense of control. We move through the nervous system, the spiritual dimension of fragmentation and return, and practical ways to regulate gently through breath, grounded movement, plant allies, and low pressure connection. The intention is not to force ourselves back into the world, but to practice discernment, to know when anxiety is asking for protection and when it is asking for slow re entry, and to reweave gently to one another in ways that feel safe and honest.

How Understanding Our Nervous System Supports Real Connection S8E3

This episode is about getting to know our bodies so we can connect more authentically in relationship and community. It explores how the nervous system learns through experience, why so many of our responses make sense in context, and how much of what we carry comes from living without the village we once had. Returning to one another is not something we can rush or force. It asks for awareness, gentleness, and a willingness to listen to the body before asking it to open. We touch on • How the body learns safety and threat• Why regulation was once relational• What happens when we lose the village• Survival responses as intelligence, not failure• The vagal pathway and connection• Listening to the body as a foundation for community To go deeper into this work join the weekly live ⁠⁠women’s circles⁠⁠follow along on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠explore the book ⁠⁠Reclaiming Circle ⁠⁠if you feel called to bring circle work into your community
