There’s a younger version of you
still waiting to be held.
Still wondering if anyone will come back for her.

This week, we do.

Reparenting is the sacred act of returning—
not to rewrite the past,
but to meet the child you were
with the love, protection, and truth
she never received.

It’s asking:
What did she need back then?
And:
Can I give it to her now?

This work is tender.
It’s not about fixing her—
it’s about finally making her feel safe
in your presence.


Inside this week’s worksheet:

  • Gentle journal prompts to connect with your inner child

  • A reparenting ritual you can revisit again and again

  • An affirmation to ground you when old wounds resurface

  • A creative nudge to speak to your past self with compassion


I’d love to hear what this week’s worksheet stirred up for you. Feel free to share your thoughts, discoveries, or struggles. There’s no pressure, just a safe space to be seen and held.
