My Imaginary Therapist S1 Ep. 9: Inner Child Healing, Baby Ellen and a Barefoot Moment in Nairobi

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.

💗 In this episode, we explore:

  • A nostalgic photo that triggered unexpected emotions

  • Reconnecting with your inner child and making peace with her

  • Offering compassion to your past self to grow in the present

  • Honoring your earliest memories without shame or regret

  • Why adult healing often begins with childhood grace

If you’ve ever seen a photo of your younger self and suddenly felt the urge to cry — this one’s for you.

💬 Let me know: What would you say to your younger self if you could sit with them today?
