REPARENTING YOUR INNER CHILD: Compassion for Yourself and Those Who Raised You 130
REPARENTING YOUR INNER CHILD: Compassion for Yourself and Those Who Raised You 130

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 130. Reparenting your inner child is one of the most powerful tools for healing we have in our toolbox.  What do I mean by “reparenting?”  What do I mean by “inner child?” Some of you may be familiar with these ideas, and some of you maybe not so much. 

In simple terms, your inner child is the part of your psyche that is vulnerable, needy, sensitive, and also joyful, exuberant, and honest. Most of us shove aside our childlike tendencies in adolescence to become “mature adults,” only to later realize that connecting to our inner child helps us experience the fullness of life to a greater degree.

REMOVING SHAME AND SHEDDING LIMITING BELIEFS: How Eliminating “Should” from Your Vocabulary Removes Shame from Your Life 129

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 129.

Throughout this journey, we’ve been working hard on raising our vibrations and being responsible for the energy we give and we surround ourselves with, we’ve worked on living from soul instead of ego, and we’re currently working on removing shame and shedding limiting beliefs. I don’t think we can fully remove shame or shed limiting beliefs without dealing with the magnitude of the word should and totally eliminating it from our vocabulary. So while this Part 5 is not expected, it’s absolutely necessary.

REMOVING SHAME AND SHEDDING LIMITING BELIEFS: How Core Wounds Can Unlock Healing 127

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 127. How am I still dealing with these same issues, I wondered. I thought I had looked through everything. I had peeled back layers. I had done some major healing. For a year. 

And that’s when I woke up to the real cause– and purpose– of these wounded cycles we inflict upon ourselves. 

Each of us has some core wounds we internalize in childhood.

REMOVING SHAME AND SHEDDING LIMITING BELIEFS: If your life feels small, it’s time to shed your limiting beliefs 126

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 126. Shame and limiting beliefs are like two sides of the same coin. Shame tells us that we are bad and wrong, and often, limiting beliefs can tell us that others are bad and wrong. 

Let me give you an example during today’s podcast.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 125. Like most women throughout history, but even specifically those growing up like I did, in the American south in the last half a century, showing any amount of skin was met with disapproving glares, gossipy whispers, and choruses of “bless her heart.” 

Can you relate? Find out in today’s podcast.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 124. Today, we’re going to give our bodies the credit they deserve. Because when we learn to honor our souls, the body can be one of the greatest sources of wisdom, working in tandem with our souls to direct us and lead us on the path back to our true selves.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 123. Have you ever been going about your day, doing something totally normal like getting groceries, logging into your email, picking your kids up from school, or going on a hike, and something happens that stops you in your tracks… some little coincidence or a moment of deja vu, or a text from a long lost friend you just had a dream about the night before?

I think most of us have.

EXCHANGING EGO FOR SOUL: How to Remember Who We Are 121

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 121. My kids recently lost their great grandfather. It was an open casket. Before the visitation, I told my kids that even though they’d be looking at their great grandfather’s body, his soul was not there.  Have you ever noticed that the body never really looks like the person did in life? There are many reasons for this, but the most important one, to me, is that a body isn’t really anything without a soul.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 120. Sometimes, whether slowly or all at once, you realize that your life is not and will never be what you thought it would be. Even if it is more beautiful than you thought possible, even if you are more fulfilled than you could have imagined, even if you wouldn’t take that first dream life back for all the money in the world, you eventually need to grieve the life you fought so hard for… the life you’ll never have and maybe never had.

EMBRACING DARKNESS AND UNPACKING GRIEF: Finding the Unexpected Gifts in Trauma 119

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 119. I remember when Brian and I moved to Nashville after our year of traveling the country in an Airstream, and I was convinced that putting down new roots in a new city would be the final step in our healing journey. Both individually and together. I thought Brian would finally be able to meet new friends, get excited about getting a job, we could go on dates to places we've never been before, and enjoy the culture of a big city. There was nothing I wouldn’t do to help us move forward. I just didn’t realize at the time that the one thing I couldn’t do was move Brian forward with me. And I tried.

EMBRACING DARKNESS AND UNPACKING GRIEF: A Purposeful Surrender 118

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 118. In order for something to grow, it first has to be pruned. If you’ve ever lived in the south, you’ve seen Crepe Myrtle trees surrounding houses and lining neighborhood streets in cities all over the place. There is nothing more jarring than seeing a Crepe Myrtle in springtime. They prune back those trees so much it’s hard to believe they’ll ever produce growth again. And yet every year, they come back bigger and more beautiful than ever before. And if they hadn’t been pruned, they’d be weak, scrawny, and more susceptible to damage.  The same is true with us.

What Happens When Energy Gets Stuck 116

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 116. Energy can get locked (and unlocked) in our bodies, and the physical places where this tends to happen relates to where chakras are located. If this feels scary, remember that we all do this all the time, just with more comfortable language. When something sad happens, you might say that your heart is broken, even though that the brain and nervous system is in charge of pain perception, not the heart.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 115. Life is full of exchanges where energy is the currency. With every interaction, you’re either buying or selling, taking in energy or giving it away. Social Media is an energy exchange. Television is an energy exchange. Podcasts, music, and audiobooks are energy exchanges. What you read, the food you eat, the conversations you have, the people you engage with. All energy exchanges. What does this mean? Protect your energy. Always.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 113. It’s a long, winding road to get back home to ourselves. The Sioux Indians are known to say that the longest journey is from your head to your heart. It’s difficult to unlearn everything we’ve been taught. To look at and break down each and every limiting belief society has taught us, unlearning all of it and returning home to our soul. To God. To love.
