The pattern you can't break today might have roots in a wound you received decades ago. The anger, people-pleasing, shame, or control issues aren't random - they're connected to messages you absorbed as a child. Day 9 helps you compassionately examine early wounds that are still shaping your present so you can finally heal them.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• Why childhood wounds still affect you even if you had "good parents"
• Messages you absorbed from parents, siblings, peers, teachers, and church
• The difference between explicit and implicit messages about your worth
• What that younger version of you needed to hear but didn't
• How to write a healing letter to your childhood self
• Connecting the dots: How early wounds create current struggles (people-pleasing, perfectionism, control, shame, emotional eating, codependency)
• Reparenting the wounded part of yourself with truth

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You're stuck in patterns that don't make logical sense
• You suspect your struggles have roots in childhood but don't know how to address them
• You minimize your childhood pain because "others had it worse"
• You're exhausted from people-pleasing, perfectionism, or trying to earn love
• You're ready to give that younger version of you what she needed

KEY SCRIPTURES:Psalm 147:3
