One of the deepest wounds many people carry is not a lack of love.
It’s the feeling that they never fully received what they needed.
I have worked with people of all ages whose inner child is still quietly waiting to be seen, heard, protected, understood, or cherished.
These younger parts do not disappear simply because we grow older.
They remain within us, influencing how we love, lead, receive, trust, and show up in the world.
In this Sunday Service message at Unity of Santa Barbara, I shared a story about my beloved dog Mercedes and the profound love she awakened within me.
It was a reminder that healing does not arrive through effort.
💜Sometimes it arrives through an experience of love so pure that it opens something we thought had been closed forever.
For many awakening souls, healers, and conscious leaders, the next stage of growth is not learning more.
It is lovingly meeting the parts of ourselves that still believe they never received what they needed.
This is sacred work.
🙏🏻And it is part of what we’ll be exploring together in my upcoming Spiritual Awakening Class on June 24. (link in comment below to register)
If you still sense a younger part of you longing for something it never received, perhaps this is your invitation to go deeper.
✨ Have you discovered that an inner child part was still waiting to be seen?
