Fitness and the Inner Child: Healing the Parts Holding You Back

What if the real reason you’re stuck in your fitness journey isn’t your workout plan… but your inner child? 👀

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Stacey Patterson—Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Group Life Coach Practitioner, Certified Spiritual Counselor, and Psychology Empath—to uncover how childhood experiences silently shape our adult behaviors, especially around fitness, body image, and self-worth.

We dig into:

🔹The Inner Child and how early wounds still influence your mindset today

🔹Parts Theory—meet your inner critic, achiever, and more

🔹How these internal voices can either sabotage or support your goals

🔹Practical ways to heal, balance, and move forward with confidence and compassion

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not making progress—this episode will open your eyes and give you tools to break through.
