Why Success Doesn’t Always Equal Fulfillment
You’ve achieved everything you set out to do. The career, the accomplishments, the external markers of success. So why do you still feel empty? Why does that inner critic never quiet? Why are you so tired of performing?
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and there’s a reason why.
The Missing Piece Most People Don’t Know About
Traditional self-help tells you to think positive, set goals, work harder. But here’s what it doesn’t address: the inner child patterns driving your perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout.
That harsh inner critic? It’s not motivation. It’s your inner child using the only protective strategies they knew as a child. These strategies are to perform, achieve, be perfect, and not disappoint anyone.
And your nervous system? It’s still responding to old patterns that aren’t serving you anymore.
This is why you can’t “think positive” your way out of this.
A Simple Practice to Start Right Now
Before I tell you about the book, let me give you something you can try today.
The 3-Minute Inner Child Check-In:
- Find a quiet moment
- Place your hand on your heart
- Close your eyes and take three deep breaths
- Ask yourself: “What does my younger self need right now?”
- Listen without judgment
- Notice what comes up – a feeling, an image, a memory, a sensation
- Respond with compassion: “I see you. I’m here. You’re safe.”
That’s it. Simple, but powerful.
Do this daily for a week and notice what shifts.
Why I Wrote Inner Child Freedom
This practice is one thing I wish I had. There are 20+ others like it. I wanted these when I was successful on paper but struggling personally.
After writing Holistic Vagus Nerve Reset, I provided readers with the tools for nervous system regulation. I kept hearing: “I’m doing the practices, they help, and I am still struggling?”
That’s when I realized something important. We can regulate the nervous system, addressing the symptoms. However, if we don’t address the root causes, like the unresolved inner child patterns, we’ll keep spinning.
Inner Child Freedom is that missing piece.
