Learn how to balance childlike innocence and wonder whilst avoiding naivety, especially in relationships, setting boundaries, and pursuing dreams.

The Inner Child is a part of our psyche that embodies innocence, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. It helps us engage with the world openly and optimistically. However, it's crucial to differentiate between this healthy openness and wishful thinking, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and emotional turmoil.

This episode explores why naivety often stems from the Inner Child wanting things its way without considering reality. This desire for control can manifest as perfectionism, where we expect everything to be perfect — ourselves, others, and outcomes.

You’ll learn how not to suppress your Inner Child but to guide it with wisdom, so you can enjoy the richness and opportunities in life with a sense of groundedness and emotional stability.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
