1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 The inner child gets a lot of attention in healing work, but what about your inner teenager? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by author, educator, and longtime friend Eliza Alloway for a heartfelt conversation about the inner teenager, belonging, embodiment, self-trust, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. We explore why adolescence is such a pivotal stage of human development, how so many of us learned to disconnect from our bodies and our truth, and why healing often requires returning to the parts of ourselves that were never fully seen, heard, or supported. We also talk about: • Healing your inner teenager and why it matters • The difference between inner child work and adolescent healing • Self-trust, boundaries, and becoming more precious to yourself • Belonging, authenticity, and finding your own path • Neurodivergence, sensitivity, and living in a complex world • Caregiving, integration, and rebuilding a relationship with yourself • Embodiment, nature, and reconnecting with your body • Why joy, creativity, and risk-taking are essential to healing Eliza also shares her evolving body of work, Homebody—a beautiful exploration of what it means to cultivate genuine friendship with your body instead of trying to fix, control, or perfect it. If you're navigating personal growth, healing old patterns, reclaiming your voice, or learning to trust yourself more deeply, this conversation offers both wisdom and practical insight.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for tuning in! &amp;nbsp;Connect with Eliza: https://elizaalloway.substack.com Connect with Elizabeth: https://elizabethdialto.com/links Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto https://elizabethdialto.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41747720/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/050505/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/41747720
