‘Miracle Magnets’ Nurture Their INNER CHILD

Hello beauties!

Here we are again. Can you believe that we have completed a WHOLE YEAR of this magical magazine?

We have finished with my FAVOURITE COLOUR…PINK! YAAAYYY!

OK, all that fun and excitement aside, I was guided to speak on a serious topic that is really important to me and I hope you care about it too, “Healing Our ‘Inner Child’”. For many of us on a journey of self-growth and the healing of our inner child, it can be a lifelong experience.

Inner work will set you free!

It was 11 years ago when a unique system came through me and truly saved my sanity and life. This system which incorporates daily ‘Inner Child’ work is designed to aid in personal growth, especially for creative and heart-centred people. I truly believe if we want the best lives we can possibly imagine, it is imperative to mother ourselves and our ‘Inner Child’ on a daily basis, where we are naturally surrounded by those that honour our boundaries while we honour theirs.

I am actually writing this article on Mother’s Day. I find it fitting considering I grew up not with the mother I wanted, but with the mother I needed to help me become the fierce yet sensitive badass coach, healer and artist that I am today. Thank you, momma! I am not being sarcastic in the least. On the contrary, I am truly grateful.

Over 25 years ago, when I myself became a new mom, I was very anxious and found myself in 2 years of therapy. It was my therapist who taught me the importance of ‘mothering myself ’. It was up to me to meet my own emotional, physical and spiritual needs as an adult in the way my own mother may have wanted to but wasn’t able to do. My mother was not mothered the way she would have liked. Her own mother lost her mother when she was only 10 years old. Their relationship was very rocky. She also had a tumultuous relationship with my father. They uprooted their young family and immigrated from Italy to a new land (Canada) when I was only 5 years old. All of these circumstances contributed to how she mothered me. She really did the BEST she could.

You see, not every mother has the capacity to love as madly and as deeply as we wish for or watched play out on television shows. We CAN however, learn to give ourselves the ‘perfect love’ we always desired. We need not rely on anyone for this sacred love, not even our own mothers. It is a bonus if we have it, but not necessary for our own happiness and success. There is much freedom in not being dependent on anyone but ourselves as sovereign beings.

So, after two years of navigating my “mommy issues” with my kind and patient therapist, I was able to say and truly mean/embody this statement: “My mother did do the best that she could from her state of consciousness. If she had KNOWN better, she would have DONE better.” From this realization came the warm flood of forgiveness. I believe that when we go deep to do our ‘Inner Work’, making it a daily practice of loving and honouring our ‘Inner Child’ as we would have ideally been loved and honoured as a little one, our relationships and lives can heal. This healing allows us to become ‘Miracle Magnets’, attracting that which we DO WANT, as opposed to becoming ‘Crap Magnets’ that attract that which what we DON’T WANT.

Artist Credit on following page: An “Accidental Artist”, Kitty’s artistic ability did not come from years of experience, but was spontaneously born out of trauma. Experiencing stroke like symptoms and plummeting to 82 lbs, a mystery illness waged war on her body as she struggled to leave a toxic marriage. With an uncertain future ahead of her, she felt trapped, scared and silenced. It was at this time that an overwhelming urge to draw surfaced and set Kitty on a different path – a path of healing. As a new artist without formal training, Kitty relies on her intuition to guide her through each piece of work. Trying not to adhere to a strictly defined style, she explores her new skills using pencils, pastels and digital painting to create expressive, metaphorical and inspirational art that retells a story.

In my signature program, ‘The VIP Mindset Reset Online’, I have a simple & beautiful ‘Inner Child’ practice which includes acknowledging and honouring our precious ‘Inner Child’ each morning as we start our day. This sacred practice works hand in hand with ‘Self Love/Mirror Work’. Both of these practices combined are a soothing yet powerful combo for raising our vibration and attracting great things to us each morning. They set the tone for our day!

In essence, we are activating our ‘High Vibe’ divine feminine by honouring our ‘Inner Child’ AND our ‘Grown Self ’, protecting our ‘Little Self ’ so that we may attract that which is valuable to us, our true desires…MIRACLES. Having done this sacred work myself, one of the best things to have happened for me is witnessing the shift in the relationship with my mother. Our relationship today is now filled with mutual love and acceptance for each other, completely opposite of the arguments and screaming matches we had as I was growing up. Back then, I lived unconsciously, not aware there was another way to be. The ongoing work of healing myself brought us both much peace and understanding.

She doesn’t ‘do the work’. I do. It doesn’t matter. It only takes one person to change in order to transform a relationship. My brother is quite fascinated by how my mother and I no longer argue, despite all the battles he witnessed growing up. His relationship with our mother is very different. He has not ‘done the work’. It is rocky. I cannot overstate the importance of healing our ‘Inner Child’ to raise us to a higher vibration and keep us there, attracting ALL that which we truly desire.
