In this episode, Ana shares a deeply personal story about the anxious little girl inside her, Lily - the inner child who spent years trying to stay safe by staying perfect. Raised in a home where mental health wasn’t talked about and safety meant scanning the room and managing others’ emotions, Ana learned early on to over-function, please, and perform. For a long time, that little girl, Lily, was still calling the shots.
This episode unpacks how Ana began to reconnect with her inner child and shift from survival to true emotional safety.
Tune in to learn:
How childhood anxiety often hides behind perfectionism and people-pleasing
What it means when your inner child is still running the show
Why high-functioning anxiety is usually a sign of deep inner fear
How therapy, breathwork, and nervous system healing helped Ana begin to feel safe again
Why tending to your inner child can change the way you relate to rest, boundaries, and self-worth
This episode also includes a guided Inner Child Meditation to help you begin connecting with the younger part of you. You’ll be invited to gently check in, offer compassion, and begin building trust with the version of you who needed safety the most.
