I had an inner child meditation recently that didn\u2019t go the way I expected. Instead of comfort, I was met with darkness, and my first instinct was to run. But for once, I stayed. And that moment revealed something I\u2019ve never seen so clearly: It\u2019s not the feeling that hurts us; it\u2019s the running. Most of us were never taught how to sit with discomfort. We were taught to cope, push it down, avoid it, or distract ourselves with productivity and positivity. But when you keep running\u2026 your emotional body fills up. And eventually, there\u2019s no more room to hold anything new. This episode isn\u2019t just about inner child work, it\u2019s about what happens when you stop running from the feelings you\u2019ve buried. In this episode, we explore: Why avoiding emotions makes them stick. What happens when you stay instead of change or distract. How buried emotions can block guidance, clarity, and creativity. A different way to meet your inner child \u2014 without fixing anything. If you\u2019ve ever felt full\u2026 overwhelmed\u2026 or tired of holding everything together \u2014 this one might be for you.
