Breaking the Silence isn’t just about speaking—it’s about reclaiming power. For so many of us, silence has been a survival strategy: a way to stay safe, to avoid conflict, to not be “too much.” But healing begins when we give ourselves permission to tell the truth—first to ourselves, then to others.

Your inner child is the part of you that holds onto your earliest experiences, emotions, and needs. These parts often show up in our relationships, in our reactions, and in the stories we carry about ourselves.

There’s a moment many of us have faced—whether stepping into a new leadership role, starting a business, or simply taking on a project that stretches us beyond our comfort zone.
