POV: My inner child is FREEEEE!
Me at 7:00am… the kids can’t stand to see me coming at the playground because you’re gonna have to wait until I’m done with the swings. 😭 And nobody tell Aria I come here without her in the mornings to walk, jog…and PLAY.
Because play is part of healing too.
When did you lose your playfulness?
For some of us, it happened young. Growing up in a Caribbean household, laughing too loudly wasn’t “ladylike.” Speak softly. Sit properly. Don’t do too much.
Somewhere along the way, that free little girl became cautious, self-aware, responsible…maybe even a little performative to people please.
And then she became a woman who knows how to work, survive, care for everyone else and hold everything together but has forgotten how to simply PLAY.
Inner child healing asks us to return to her.
What does younger you need right now?
To laugh louder?
Dance?
Color?
Be silly?
Experience joy without having to earn it?
This October at The Sweet Surrender, a Full Day Retreat we’re exploring Inner Child Healing + Womb Wellness and rediscovering. Because how can you find your whimsy if you’re not FREE.
Life has gotten so many of us so serious and it’s not to take away from some of the ish we’ve been through but it’s about not letting it define us. It’s connecting the dots of where things took a shift and going back to reclaim our innocence.
Because healing isn’t always about becoming someone new.
Sometimes it’s remembering who you were before you learned to make yourself smaller.
Love ya.
