Ever felt triggered without knowing why?
Feel like your reaction is bigger than the incident and you’re not sure why you’re melting down?
Frustrated you keep getting pulled into the same patterns and dysfunctional relationships?
When I first came across Ron Yap’s work on healing our Inner Child on social media, I knew I had to have him on the podcast…so I invited him from Tanzania, only to be pleasantly surprised...that he’s Singaporean! 🇸🇬
This conversation was so good, I wish we were chatting over kopi and kaya toast instead.
In this episode, we talk about:
why small triggers can feel so big
what our inner child wounds are telling us
how shame and guilt keep us stuck
why familiar relationships do not mean they're safe
how to gently approach the topic of su*cidal thoughts
and how to access your inner hero—the future version of you who has faced it all and is still thriving
If you’ve ever felt like you’re overreacting, or repeating patterns you don’t understand—this one’s for you.
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes mentions of su*cide. Please listen with care and reach out for support if needed.
