Ep1: Stop Chasing Closure: Inner Child Healing, Abandonment Wounds & Choosing Your Higher Self
In this episode of Conversations With Your Higher Self, Megan and Marissa dive into inner child healing and what it actually looks like in real time—when you’re triggered, when abandonment wounds flare up, and when your nervous system wants to run, shut down, or reach for external validation.
They explore reparenting, emotional neutrality, why you don’t need the other person to heal, and how “closure” often becomes available when you’re willing to have the hard conversation with yourself. This episode also touches on visibility wounds, subconscious patterning formed before age seven, and the practice of making micro Higher Self choices every day—especially when it’s uncomfortable.
If you’ve been moving through a friendship shift, breakup, conflict, or any situation where you feel unseen, unchosen, or left—this one will land.
