Our Inner Child and Reconnecting To The Heart with Lucy Ellis

Lucy Ellis joins us for an honest and grounding conversation about the power of introspection, reconnecting to our inner child and bringing ourselves back to the heart.

So many of us move through our days on autopilot reacting, pushing through, and ignoring how we actually feel until our nervous system forces us to pay attention. In this episode, we explore why self-reflection isn’t indulgent or “woo,” but a practical and essential part of emotional maturity, nervous system regulation, and conscious living.

We discuss how checking in with yourself daily can radically change the way you show up in your relationships, make decisions, communicate, and respond to stress and why ignoring your internal state often leads to repeated patterns, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

In this episode, we cover:

• How daily check-ins support emotional regulation and nervous system safety
• How we are really just children in adult bodies! And how to honour our little triggered inner child
• Simple ways to build the habit of checking in without it becoming another “to-do”
• How to reconnect to the heart 

Key takeaway:
 Self-reflection isn’t about overthinking — it’s about self-responsibility.
 When you learn to check in with yourself regularly, you stop abandoning your internal world and start leading from clarity instead of survival mode.
