The Inner Child, Addiction, and the Nervous System

What if the reason you feel stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed has less to do with your thoughts and more to do with your nervous system? In this solo episode from Puerto Rico, Karena explores why we cannot think our way into peace and how stored childhood experiences continue to shape our emotional reactions today. She shares how inner child wounds, unconscious patterns, and nervous system dysregulation often sit beneath habits like distraction, anxiety, addiction, and emotional reactivity. Karena offers simple, practical tools for bringing the body back into balance, including breathwork, humming to stimulate the vagus nerve, mantra, community, and time in nature. Through personal stories and vivid examples, she explains how making the unconscious conscious allows us to stop creating stories from old triggers and begin responding from a regulated, grounded place. 👉 Subscribe to my YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@KarenaYoga] and watch more episodes in the podcast playlist [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYM0eLGOdbofuwOJxwpK5Ua-TBXBOnmOs]!

Finding Love in Frightening Times

What does it mean to stay spiritually awake when the world feels intense and uncertain?

She reflects on how these moments can become invitations to slow down, question old patterns, and reconnect with what is truly guiding us. Speaking from a retreat in Costa Rica, she reflects on sovereignty, emotional integration, and the courage it takes to feel rather than suppress what is arising.

What 25 Years of Marriage Taught Us About the Inner Child

In this candid and deeply personal episode, Karena is joined by her husband of 25 years, Charles, for a conversation about how the inner child shapes marriage. During a difficult season in their relationship, they turned to Imago Relationship Therapy, the couples therapy approach behind Harville Hendrix’s Getting the Love You Want, and began learning how to see the wounded child within each other rather than just reacting to the surface conflict. From grief and fear to everyday misunderstandings, they reflect on how criticism often masks unmet needs and why emotional safety matters more than being right. This episode is an invitation to listen differently, respond with greater awareness, and begin relating to the inner child beneath the reactions in the relationships that matter most. 👉 Subscribe to my YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@KarenaYoga] and watch more episodes in the podcast playlist [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYM0eLGOdbofuwOJxwpK5Ua-TBXBOnmOs]! 👉 Follow on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0IXbEarNW7SrtQI0A78snB?si=23d1e74332fa4bf1] and Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/neville-goddards-secret-sleep-technique-revealed-manifest/id1813409820?i=1000725571150] so you never miss an episode!
