giving my 4 year old self everything she wanted

let's chat about alignment, inner child connection & human design

I’m in the stage of my life where everything is starting to make sense. There’s something about your 30s that gives clarity, a lot of “aha” moments, and occasionally chaos, but definitely not as much as your 20s. At this age I think I’m pretty in tune with who I am and who I’m here to become, but that doesn’t give me immunity to self-doubt, fear, and procrastination. These feelings usually start creeping in when I’m ready to step into my next level but I’m still playing small. And if you read the post below a few weeks ago then you know that we’re done with that chapter.

I’m deciding to show up bigger and better for my inner child. The shy young girl who loved to dance but didn’t get to go to dance school, who was obsessed with Barbies and girl music groups, always wanted her own talk show, loved to write in her diary & have sleepovers is here to play in this new timeline. She now uses all those core memories, gifts, passions & desires to unlock the life and opportunities that align with who she really is and what she values. This took A LOT of inner work and reflection. I had to reflect on what I was spending time and energy on that didn’t feel good or wasn’t pushing me forward. I had to release a lot. I had to go to therapy, grow a spiritual practice and start talking to myself like I was my own parent. Inner child healing is not always fun, but necessary. Little Riss would be so proud.

In my chit chat with Chrystelle Robinson-Tiedelmann on my latest podcast episode, we got real about the fact that so many adults have become disconnected from who they really are at the core. Our generation tends to believe that hustle culture makes us way more “serious” or likable and would rather partake in that instead of having fun in real life and chasing our “unrealistic” dreams. We were probably taught in our childhoods to quiet down our curiosity, joy and desires for a life that feels stable, practical and wholesome. According to who though??

We touched on so many important things including finding your own spirituality outside of religious structures and churches. But most importantly we talk about finding alignment in our lives using our Human Design charts. If you’ve never heard of Human Design, or want to learn more about your type then you DEFINITELY want to tap into this conversation.

Disclaimer: this episode was a victim of Mercury Retrograde so we lost the video version, but I was able to recover the audio after my laptop died. Thank you God.

As a generator type I can say that I definitely feel lit up and energized by this episode. Understanding myself on a deeper level everyday always gives me the clarity and a boost of confidence to keep pushing towards my dreams and goals. And getting to chat with other women who are also on the path to create a life of alignment and purpose helps me to keep this podcast running! It’s a lot of work but always worth it. I ask that you please show your support by subscribing to the podcast on Spotify, Apple or YouTube , and following the official Instagram account. I truly appreciate the love and I want to thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I hope you feel inspired after reading and listening to episode 135. Drop a comment and let me know how you’re showing up for your inner child this month!

Be on the lookout for some exciting announcements coming soon including a live series Master Class right here on Substack! This one will be for the Hydrated, Thriving & Bossed Up (my column for unapologetic boss bishes) girlies who are creating their dream life this year and manifesting lots of wealth including physical, financial, spiritual. And be on the lookout for another post this weekend for my paid subscribers.
