In this episode of Healing Mindset, I had the opportunity to sit down with Nazish and take a deep dive into one of the most mission-critical conversations of our time: re-parenting the five-year-old inner child. This is the age where so many of our emotional blueprints take shape—our early coding around love, safety, belonging, expression, and visibility.

I unpack how emotional imprints are formed not just in childhood, but as early as the womb. These imprints quietly drive adult behaviors—jealousy, anxiety, people-pleasing, overachieving, emotional shutdowns—and most of the time, they’re not “adult issues” at all. They’re the unspoken needs of a silenced inner child asking to be seen, held, and led.

During this conversation, I share practical, energetically aligned ways to recognize your inner child’s signals and how to respond without re-opening old wounds. Re-parenting isn’t about fault-finding—it’s about stepping into emotional leadership. It’s about becoming the deeply present, regulated, and compassionate parent your five-year-old self needed so you no longer outsource your worth to relationships, family dynamics, or performance.

If you feel blocked, disconnected from joy, or stuck replaying the same relationship patterns, this dialogue gives you grounded frameworks you can deploy across your life—work, love, family, and self-worth. You’ll walk away with a forward-looking roadmap for nervous system safety, trauma repair, and authentic self-connection that enables not just personal healing but generational transformation.

About Me:

I’m an intuitive empath, healer, and spiritual teacher dedicated to supporting “adult children” who never had the chance to fully recover from early emotional injuries. My work centers on inner child healing, generational trauma release, and energetic re-patterning.

Through live transmissions, energy work, and guided inner journeys, I help individuals reconnect with their five-year-old self, reclaim their creativity, and build the internal safety they’ve long been missing. My core philosophy is simple: when you become the emotionally available parent you never had, everything in your life recalibrates—your relationships, your health, your leadership, and your joy.

Key Takeaways:

  • Inner child wounds are not trendy language—they are the foundational drivers behind recurring patterns in relationships, work, and self-worth.
  • Your inner child speaks through triggers, shutdowns, and “childlike” emotional reactions. These are insights, not weaknesses.
  • Re-parenting is an act of radical ownership—stepping into the role of your most emotionally present caregiver.
  • Core emotional templates can begin forming in the womb. A mother’s internal world often becomes the child’s first nervous system environment.
  • Healing doesn’t require reliving trauma. Energy work, guided journeys, and somatic techniques ca
