Inner Child vs. Wounded Child — What’s Really Running Your Life

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0700

Many people believe that their inner child is running their life, but what if that belief is actually keeping them stuck?

In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul clarifies why this common assumption is not only inaccurate but often harmful to true healing.

She contrasts this with the wounded child, or ego-wounded self, which is formed through false beliefs and fears absorbed during childhood and throughout life. By understanding this distinction, you can stop blaming your feelings and begin using them as valuable inner guidance.

The Power of Kindness to Change Your Life

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0600

Is your kindness truly coming from love… or from fear?

Emotional Responsibility: How Your Thoughts Affect Your Relationships

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 05:00:00 -0600

Are you aware of how deeply your thoughts shape your relationships?

In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores how our thoughts directly influence our actions, our relationships, and the decisions we make.

She unpacks how more supportive, compassionate thoughts can help us feel grounded and authentic, how our thinking shapes our access to inner and spiritual guidance, and why awareness and intentionality are powerful tools for shifting from a controlling mindset to a loving one.

The wounded self often speaks with urgency and fear—but it does not reflect the full truth of who you are. The loving adult speaks with clarity, steadiness, and compassion, and reflects your inherent worth.

Tune in as we explore how to shift from the wounded self into the loving adult—so you can show up in your life and relationships with greater trust, clarity, and self-worth.

Personal Growth Requires Loving Actions

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 05:00:00 -0600

With practice, you can become a loving adult father to yourself, even if you never had one.

In today’s episode, Dr. Margaret Paul dives into how the “loving adult father” shows up in our lives, why we need both the nurturing energy of an inner mother and the action-oriented guidance of an inner father, and how intentional self-compassion becomes the catalyst for real transformation.

Because without that inner loving father, the inner child can feel unseen and abandoned. But when you choose to lead yourself with love, you create space for deeper peace, stability, and joy in every area of your life.

Listen in as we explore how real growth isn’t just about awareness — it’s about choosing loving actions, setting boundaries that honor your worth, and becoming the steady, supportive presence you’ve always needed.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores how to create loving affirmations that truly support the outcomes we desire, and how taking aligned, loving action is essential to manifesting our gifts and purpose.

She dives into how we define our sense of worth, why our efforts matter more than outcomes, and how our intentions shape the quality of our relationships.

How to Create Loving Relationships Without Losing Yourself

Mon, 04 May 2026 05:00:00 -0600

Have you ever felt yourself slowly disappearing in a relationship?

In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores one of the most common — and most overlooked — blocks to true intimacy: self-abandonment. She unpacks why so many of us lose our voice, our needs, and our sense of self in relationships, and what it truly takes to love deeply without betraying yourself.

Dr. Paul guides us through the critical difference between love and attachment, how fear-based relating leads to resentment and emptiness, and why two whole, self-connected people are the foundation of any genuinely loving relationship. She also shares how the Inner Bonding process helps you develop the loving adult within — so you can show up honestly, set loving limits, and experience the kind of closeness that doesn't come at the cost of who you are.

Come explore what it means to love without losing yourself in How to Create Loving Relationships Without Losing Yourself, and begin building the intimacy you've always wanted — from the inside out.

What Emotional Responsibility Really Means

Mon, 11 May 2026 05:00:00 -0600

What does it actually mean to take emotional responsibility — and why do so many of us get it wrong?

In this illuminating episode, Dr. Margaret Paul cuts through the confusion around one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal growth. She explains why emotional responsibility is not self-blame and certainly not a burden. True emotional responsibility is an act of love — toward yourself and toward the inner child who carries your deepest feelings and needs your compassionate presence.

Dr. Paul explores how the wounded self distorts emotional responsibility into shame, how fear keeps us from showing up for our own feelings, and what it looks like to become the loving, compassionate adult your inner child has always needed. She also draws a powerful distinction between self-blame, which comes from fear, and true responsibility, which comes from love — and shows how that shift alone can begin to transform your inner world.

Come explore Emotional Responsibility and What It Really Means, and begin the journey toward genuine emotional freedom, deeper relationships, and a more grounded, peaceful self.
