Reconnecting with Your Inner Child: The Journey of Little Steph💕

Let me introduce you to Steph, a little girl who loved riding her bike, playing with friends, and searching for fairies at the bottom of the garden. She’d dance, twirl, and dream big—fearless and full of joy.

Steph was brave and bold, always chasing her dreams. She loved deeply and gave her heart to those closest to her, full of curiosity and excitement for life.

But one day, things began to change. Life became more serious, more "grown up." Steph felt the weight of sadness and anger seep into her once carefree home, and with that came a new role—one she hadn’t chosen but felt obligated to take on.

She believed it was now her responsibility to hold hands, to make everything okay for everyone else. It wasn’t long before Steph became the “strong” one, and while that role brought a sense of recognition, it also came with a hidden cost.

She learned to hide her emotions. To cry alone. To stay small and quiet because it felt safer that way. She learned to blend in beautifully with those around her, careful not to stand out too much. Her mantra became, *‘Just be seen but not too seen’.*

But deep inside, that bold, brave, and loving little girl never disappeared. She was still there, waiting—waiting for the right time to come back to life. She longed to be fierce again, to reclaim her essence.

Over the last 15 years, I have worked hard to reconnect to all that I was and all that I desire to be and last week in Italy, at a retreat, where I was asked to be the guest speaker, I stood in my power, right beside little Steph ❤️

With strength and vulnerability, we have found our voice. When we speak, we do it with purpose and alignment, feeling truly alive. It was a moment when all parts me—my childhood joy and adult resilience, my deep sense of self—came together in perfect harmony.

All parts of me stood fully in my power, fully at peace.

This journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of healing and reconnecting with the child within us. When we re-parent that part of ourselves—giving her the care, attention, and nurturing she needed all along—we support her healing in ways only she knows she needs. And through that process, we reclaim our power.

The story of Steph.....ME, is one of beauty, grace, grit, and determination. It’s a journey of healing, strength, and transformation.
