How Your Inner Child Impacts Your Relationships Today

In this heart-to-heart conversation, I chat with Shannon Yonge, an intuitive master life coach who specializes in helping women navigate midlife transitions. We dive into the concept of inner child work and how our early childhood experiences (ages 0-7) shape our adult relationships. Shannon explains that during those formative years, we develop strategies to belong and connect, which often continue to influence how we show up in relationships decades later. We discuss how reconnecting with your inner child can help you reclaim joy, heal relationship patterns, and live more authentically. Shannon offers practical suggestions for starting inner child work, including mirror exercises and connecting with childhood photos. We also explore how to distinguish between feeling your emotions (which leads to healing) versus just thinking about them. Perfect for anyone feeling disconnected from themselves or struggling with relationship patterns they can't seem to break.
