In this tender and emotional session, I open up about a moment that caught me completely off guard — a wave of unexpected feelings after seeing a photo of three-year-old me, barefoot in Nairobi, holding a black gate and staring at my mom. That photo cracked something open.
For the first time, I truly saw baby Ellen — not just as a memory, but as someone I needed to hold, love, and finally acknowledge. That moment turned into a deep reflection on inner child healing, self-compassion, and recognizing the versions of ourselves we sometimes forget.
