What if everything you've been told about anxiety only scratches the surface? We're taught to quiet our thoughts, reframe our worries, and “think positive.” But what if the real root of anxiety isn't in your head at all, it's in your body? In this transformative episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Russell Kennedy - physician, neuroscientist, and best-selling author of Anxiety Rx, who has made it his life's mission to uncover what truly heals anxiety. Drawing from his own decades-long struggle with crippling worry, psychedelic journeys, and breakthroughs in somatic healing, Dr. Kennedy reveals how anxiety is actually an alarm state stored in the body, often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma. Together, we explore why coping strategies and pharmaceuticals often fall short, and how practices like “sensation without explanation,” breathwork, and inner child connection open the door to real healing. Dr. Kennedy also shares why suppressed anger can turn children into adults locked in victimhood, how worry tricks the brain into false certainty, and why reclaiming a spiritual connection with yourself may be the missing piece in resolving anxiety. This episode is practical, eye-opening, and deeply human. If you've ever wrestled with anxiety or love someone who has, Dr. Kennedy's wisdom will help you understand it in a whole new way, and guide you back to a place of calm, safety, and inner trust.

She explains how ignoring the gentle taps from your spirit team about needed changes can cause your inner child to create "mayhem" in your life. Julie provides a simple yet profound solution: by looking at all your options, you can calm your inner child, settle your nervous system, and expand into the "realm of all possibilities."

Send us a textWhat if the most courageous thing you do today is listen to the smallest voice inside you? We shine a light on the inner child—curious, bright, unashamed—and explore why that part of us became obedient to survival and how we can welcome it back. Through raw personal stories, including a childhood moment of feeling lost in a crowd, we map the invisible thread between early wounds and adult triggers like social anxiety, constant urgency, and the belief that we're “always late” or “not enough.”From there, we get practical. We share simple tools that actually work: acknowledging your inner child by name, keeping a photo nearby to rebuild connection, using warm self-talk under stress, and praising yourself for small wins to retrain safety. We lean into play—swings, ping pong, finger painting, laughter—as serious medicine for a tense nervous system. You'll hear how memory work balances painful flashes with chosen moments of joy, how journaling helps pull roots from old stories, and how gentle meditations can call back the light and energy you lost to shame, fear, or silence.This is a guided path from programming to presence, from armored performance to authentic living. If you're ready to trade survival scripts for wonder, these steps will help you feel more seen, more brave, and more you.

Inner Child and Self Doubt
In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how you can drop the burden of proving, performing, and perfecting and know your true value.Have you ever believed that your worth must be earned, proven, or validated by others? Do you often find yourself chasing approval, striving to be “good enough,” only to end up exhausted and unfulfilled? Do you sometimes hear the voice of your Inner Child whispering, “Will I ever be enough just as I am?”David unpacks these questions and offers a gentle path back to the truth of who you already are. The Tao teaches that just as rivers flow and mountains stand tall without needing permission or applause, we too are worthy by our existence. There is nothing we must do to earn this worth. No approval we must gain. No role we must play...

In this episode, I reveal a POWERFUL way to break through the unrealistic and unfair expectations you've been putting on yourself.
In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sat down with Coach Yeadon to unpack a powerful story that unexpectedly cracked open a deeper truth about healing. What started as a simple moment—getting the family dog from his son's bed—turned into a vivid example of how the inner child still lives in us, how triggers hijack our nervous system, and how porn has historically been our escape hatch when emotional chaos strikes. We explore how recovery isn't about managing behavior—it's about learning to respond to the fear, shame, and panic that still live in the body. Yeadon breaks down what it looks like to show up for yourself in those moments, to become the grounded father your inner child never had, and to stop handing the wheel to the boy who just wants relief. This conversation is a deep dive into emotional mastery, self-parenting, and how we transform shame into strength. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:15] Welcome listeners back to the Porn to Purpose podcast. [01:15] Yeadon introduces the story of his son's fear and the title: “The Night My Inner Child Woke Up.” [04:44] His son wakes in terror—mirroring the very same disoriented, fear-based responses Yeadon often feels when emotionally triggered. [06:14] “I'm not okay”—Yeadon explains how our inner child often gets activated and how unsafe it can feel in the body. [07:30] The link between emotional overwhelm and the addict's urge to reach for porn as a way to feel "okay." [08:43] A separate moment: an innocent comment from Yeadon's wife triggers a full internal shame response. [09:41] He breaks down how trauma responses aren't about logic—they're about patterning and nervous system memory. [10:45] How the smallest things can send us spiraling when deeper emotional wounds go unaddressed. [12:30] What it means to “father yourself” and offer the calm, safe presence your younger self never received. [14:15] Recovery as re-parenting: why real freedom comes when we stop escaping and start nurturing the part of us that's still afraid.

In this transformative episode, Brianne Davis-Gantt dives deep into the compelling world of shadow work. With her signature blend of candor and humor, Brianne shares her personal journey of embracing the darker aspects of herself and how this process can lead to profound self-acceptance and personal growth. She discusses the importance of acknowledging our shadow selves—the hidden, often repressed parts of our personality—and how doing so can improve our relationships and overall well-being.Throughout the episode, Brianne outlines her own experiences with shadow work, revealing how it has shaped her life and her approach to helping clients. She emphasizes that everyone has a shadow and that recognizing and owning our darker traits is essential for true healing. Listeners will learn practical strategies for engaging in shadow work, including prompts to identify hidden emotions and patterns that may be holding them back.Brianne also shares the signs that indicate someone has begun to effectively engage in shadow work, such as the ability to laugh at oneself, assertiveness in setting boundaries, and the courage to confront challenges with grace. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that embracing our full selves—both light and dark—is key to living authentically and fostering meaningful connections with others.
Dr. Michelle Peticolas, international bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker, reveals why some people stay stuck in grief for decades while others heal naturally. Discover how unprocessed emotions literally lodge in your cellular memory and learn the revolutionary SERVE framework that transforms grief from suffering into authentic self-discovery.What You'll LearnThe physiological difference between normal grief and complex griefWhy traditional therapy often fails for long-term grieversHow childhood survival patterns create people-pleasing behaviors that block authentic healingThe SERVE framework: a step-by-step system for releasing trapped emotionsReal transformation stories, including a client who healed from 20 years of grief in monthsSigns that indicate you may be experiencing complex griefKey TakeawaysUnderstanding Grief as Physiological Grief isn't just emotional—it's a whole-body experience that triggers biological survival responses. When unexpressed, these emotions literally lodge in your cells and emerge at unexpected times through triggers.The People-Pleasing Pattern Many who struggle with complex grief developed people-pleasing survival mechanisms in childhood. These patterns, formed to maintain conditional love, prevent authentic self-expression and proper emotional processing.The SERVE FrameworkS - Surrender to feelings and emotions (with proper support)E - Engage with supportive community (like elephants protecting their grieving)R - Reframe your story about the lossV - Vision for who you want to becomeE - Express your authentic self in the worldInstead of seeing grief as something to overcome, honor it as a testament to love. Use grief as fuel for awakening to your authentic self and life purpose.Dr. Michelle's WEBSITESend us a Text Message!

Episode 117 Shame Through the Voice of the Inner Child A quote from this episode, speaking about shame, "It's how you respond to it that allows you to move forward." This is an episode rewind. While traveling recently, I listened to a previous episode and it brought chills to my body. The way this little boy (inner child) took over my body, left me with tears in my eyes, even two years later. The original episode can be found on all platforms. Episode 9 of Season 2, There is Someone at the Door. I was so impressed by my client that day. Thanks to all of us taking the time to listen to the small pieces of our Soul that have been left at the door, dirty and muddy. We are scheduling now for Season Two.

This is number 20 of a 30-part meditation series inspired by Adyashanti. This episode invites you to rediscover innocence, to let your senses be like that of a newborn, every moment as a new creation.Theses practices build on each other, so you can listen consecutively, but if there is one in particular that speaks to you, feel free to stick with it. Based on the teachings of Adyashanti, they can be used alone or as a companion to his audio series, The 30-Day Wake Up Challenge, or his book, The Direct Way: 30 Practices to Evoke Awakening. This meditation correlates to Day 18. In some cases, the meditations are also loosely inspired by the teachings of Andrew Holecek, Pema Chodron, and Eckhart Tolle.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores the gentle, often misunderstood power of being humble.Have you ever thought that being humble makes you weak? Do you find yourself confused between setting healthy boundaries and being submissive? Or perhaps you wonder if humility and ambition can ever walk the same path? Humility is often mistaken for invisibility in a world that values noise, boldness and assertion. You'll learn how humility isn't about hiding but revealing our quiet strength. True humility in Taoism is not about shrinking ourselves or surrendering our values. It is about recognising our place in the vast rhythm of the Cosmos. Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-softness-of-humility-a-path-toOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

In this episode of the Celeste Therapist Podcast, Celeste, a therapist from Boston, continues her five-part series on healing the inner child. If you haven't listened to Episode 1, "Healing the Inner Child," it's suggested to start there for context and continuity. The series aims to help listeners understand themselves better by examining how childhood experiences shape their adult lives. Celeste discusses the importance of reflecting on your past, with a particular focus on how early life experiences influence current behaviors and feelings. She references the book "What Happened to You" by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry, which explores the profound impact of childhood events on adult psychology. Listeners are encouraged to engage with the provided homework assignments, such as journaling or visualization exercises, to deepen their self-awareness. Celeste emphasizes that this journey is ongoing and that it's okay to take breaks if the material feels heavy. Join us as we delve into the complexities of childhood and its lasting effects, and continue to work towards better understanding and healing our inner selves. Homework: Complete the journaling prompt or visualization exercise from Episode 1, if you haven't already.

Overcoming porn isn't just about saying “no” harder, installing filters, or trying to white-knuckle your way through temptation. Real freedom comes when you heal the root — the wounds beneath the surface that porn has been covering up. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank talks with Drew Boa, founder of Husband Material, pastoral sex addiction professional, podcaster, and author of the new book Outgrow Porn. Drew has walked with thousands of men through their healing journeys and brings a fresh, biblical, and deeply compassionate perspective on what it really takes to outgrow porn. Coach Frank & Drew dive into topics most men never talk about; sexual fantasies, inner child healing, shame, purity culture, relapse, and what it means to live fully alive as the man God created you to be. If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of guilt and failure, this episode is going to set you free with a new way of thinking about your struggle. About Drew Boa Drew Boa is the founder of Husband Material, host of the top-ranked Husband Material Podcast, and a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP). With over a decade of experience, Drew has helped thousands of men worldwide heal from sexual brokenness and reclaim their God-given identity. His new book, Outgrow Porn, blends neuroscience, psychology, and biblical truth to equip men to heal at the deepest level, not through shame and control, but through love, compassion, and Christ-centered transformation.

Your sexual fantasies tell a story, and when you understand that story, you unlock the key to healing. Pornography hijacks the brain's reward system as a “supernormal stimulus.” Recognizing this helps you rewire your brain. Healing the boy within is essential to freeing the man you were created to be. Connection and safety are not optional, they're vital for breaking free from addiction. Shame is the fuel that keeps men stuck. To heal, you must replace condemnation with curiosity and compassion. Relapse is not failure, it's feedback. Every slip points to what still needs healing. Drew's OBC Method (Locate, Love, Lead) offers a framework to guide men in inner child healing. Purity culture often created toxic shame around sexuality. The answer isn't repression, it's redemption. Living a Super Human Life means embracing the full spectrum of emotions God designed us to feel. --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ
Tony sits down with his friend and Love, ADHD co-host, Julie De Jesus, to unpack her recent interview with Kevin Franke, ex-husband of Ruby Franke. Ruby, the former “8 Passengers” YouTuber, pled guilty in late 2023 to multiple counts of aggravated child abuse and, along with her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, was sentenced in February 2024 to up to 30 years in prison under Utah law. While Tony originally planned to ask Julie about Kevin, the conversation took a different turn: the tidal wave of comments Julie received after posting her interview. With humor, honesty, and therapeutic insight, Tony and Julie read through some of those YouTube comments out loud, responding in real time. They explore why people are so quick to judge, why emotions often masquerade as facts, and how online criticism reveals more about the commenter than the person being critiqued. You'll hear candid reflections on: What Kevin's story stirs up in people (and why) How emotional immaturity shows up in the comment section (projection, black-and-white thinking, and mistaking feelings for truth) Why leaving abusive situations is never as simple as outsiders believe The concept of “whole object relations” — holding multiple emotions at once How Julie navigated negativity while staying grounded and authentic This episode is part deep dive into psychology, part raw behind-the-scenes of content creation, and part hilarious reading of unfiltered internet comments. If you've ever wondered why strangers online lash out—or how to handle criticism with both compassion and boundaries—this one's for you. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:33 Julie De Jesus and Her Interview with Kevin Frankie 01:11 Handling Criticism and Emotional Reactions 02:40 Understanding Emotional Maturity 03:55 Navigating Online Criticism 07:40 Promoting the Upcoming Cruise 11:51 The Future of Love A DHD Podcast 12:24 Deep Dive into Kevin Frankie's Interview 21:04 Personal Reflections and Recognitions 31:30 Introduction to Kate's Family Dynamics 31:32 Exploring Religious Roles and Power Dynamics 32:23 Personal Reflections and Family Dynamics 35:00 Commentary on Interview Techniques 36:26 Debating Faith and Atheism 38:40 Addressing Online Criticism 42:20 Therapy and Personal Growth 53:05 Inner Child and Emotional Healing 01:00:02 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

Send us a textIn this essential solo episode, host Lira Ndifon provides a comprehensive and compassionate guide to the stages of a true healing journey. For anyone who feels lost, stuck, or unsure of where to begin, Lira breaks down the process into clear, manageable phases, offering a roadmap to navigate the often-painful but ultimately beautiful path to wholeness. Awareness Awakens: You start noticing old patterns, triggers, and wounds that you may have ignored or suppressed.Emotional Release: Buried emotions (grief, anger, sadness) begin to surface, allowing you to feel and release them instead of holding them in.Inner Reflection: You begin questioning past experiences, beliefs, and the roles you've played, gaining deeper clarity about yourself.Breaking Cycles: Old habits, toxic relationships, or destructive patterns lose their power as you consciously choose healthier ways of living.Reconnection with Self: You rediscover your authentic self, values, and desires, often reconnecting with your inner child or higher self.Forgiveness and Compassion: You learn to forgive yourself and others, softening the pain of the past and cultivating more compassion.Empowerment and Growth: You embody new confidence, healthier boundaries, and a stronger sense of purpose, stepping into a life aligned with healing and wholeness.This episode is more than just a talk; it's an invitation. Lira also announces her upcoming Inner Child Healing Workshop on August 23rd and opens up applications for her one-on-one Self-Reflection coaching services for those ready to commit deeply to their healing.

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen are diving deep into inner child work—what it is, why it matters, and how to know when it's your adult self making a choice… or your 5-year-old self running the show. They explore how childhood wounds shape big emotions and disproportionate reactions, what it means to reparent yourself, and how to move from autopilot to awareness. They also break down generational trauma—how it's passed on through behaviors, beliefs, and even biology—and what it really looks like to break the cycle (hint: progress, not perfection). From grief around emotionally unavailable parents to navigating guilt with your own kids, they remind us that healing isn't about perfection; it's about curiosity, compassion, and regulation. Plus: how to deal when your mom won't apologize, what to do when your MIL suddenly turns hostile, and why you will mess up your kids, just maybe not in the ways you fear.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we're joined this week by Hollywood child star, Alyson Stoner for one of the most vulnerable conversations we've ever had on children's mental health. In Part 1, Alyson opens up about the hidden cost of childhood fame, the impact of growing up in unsafe environments, and the long-term effects of being a “performing child.” They share what it's like to heal publicly, how childhood trauma shows up in adulthood, and why so many of us are still carrying the coping mechanisms we learned just to survive. PLUS, we talk about the importance of creating safe spaces for kids today (especially as the mental health crisis deepens) and how to begin reparenting your inner child with compassion. This one's for anyone healing their past, parenting in the present, or simply looking to break the cycle for the next generation. You don't want to miss out, tune in!! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: The Cost of Early Success: Childhood fame often comes with emotional neglect and performance pressure. Alyson breaks down how trauma hides in plain sight, and how to reclaim your voice. Trauma Responses Are Not Personality Traits: People-pleasing, perfectionism, overachievement, these aren't quirks. They're signs your inner child is still trying to survive. Reparenting Your Inner Child: Healing means meeting the needs you never got growing up, especially rest, safety, and emotional validation. You can be the safe space you always needed. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alysonstoner/?hl=en Website: https://www.movementgenius.com/ Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-22515941 Artist WellBeing Toolkit: https://www.movementgenius.com/artist-wellbeing-toolkit-new ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
