b'
This episode is about mothering the inner child and connecting to the little one inside. Today\\u2019s caller, Nyikia, is working to give herself the love and compassion she didn\\u2019t get as a child but is having difficulty connecting with her inner child. We work through that connection and a daily practice she can use to nurture herself and her little one.

We are often good at giving others what we need to give ourselves the most. This is where we can fall into traps in relationships. Whether it\\u2019s romantic relationships, work relationships, or friendships, we can be loving, compassionate, loyal, and show up for others but the person we need to do that for is our inner child and ourselves.

We can\\u2019t go back in a time machine and change our parents or live a different childhood. But, remember, the mind doesn\\u2019t know the difference between a well-imagined thought and current reality. So, we can give ourselves the childhood we never had by being a mother or father to our inner child.

Consider/Ask Yourself:
- Did you have a mother or father who didn\\u2019t fall into the traditional role? Maybe, your mom wasn\\u2019t nurturing or your father was absent or not protective and you have a hard time connecting with that inner parent?
- Are you good at loving others and taking care of others but not so great at taking care of yourself?
- Have you done a lot of self-work in the last several years or months, but feel in some areas, especially with the inner child, you don\\u2019t know what to do or you are not making progress?
