Healing Your Inner Child Will Change Your Life | Vanessa Fontana

This episode with Vanessa Fontana dives deep into spirituality, inner child healing, anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships, masculine and feminine energy, and learning how to truly heal from the things that haunt us. Vanessa opens up about growing up in chaos, healing her relationship with her parents, EMDR therapy, somatic healing, and how unprocessed trauma silently controls so many areas of our lives. Tara and Vanessa also discuss unconditional love, nervous system healing, burnout, spirituality, purpose, and why most people are stuck living in survival mode without even realizing it. If you’ve struggled with anxiety, toxic relationships, self sabotage, emotional pain, or finding peace within yourself, this conversation will hit deeply.
