On this episode of Genoa's Arcs, we turn inward and meet the part of us that never stopped feeling—the inner child. Far from a trendy pop-psych term, the inner child holds the emotional memory of our earliest experiences, including the pain, longing, and wonder of innocence.

Genoa explores what it really means to reconnect with this part of ourselves and why doing so is essential for reclaiming joy, safety, and play after trauma.
