This week, I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, a creator, teacher, and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods.

We talk about how the things we went through when we were younger can still show up in our adult lives, in our relationships, our reactions, even in the way we feel in our own bodies.

And Anna opens up about her own story, what helped her notice the patterns she was stuck in and how she slowly started teaching her body that it is safe now.

And I screamed because even though I didn't know who I was or where I was, something in me was just like, hold on, wait, they could kill me and I'm not going to let that happen.

I'm not going to let that happen.

I'm going to get through this.

And I did.

What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have.

When Emma Watson called me to be on the show, I was thrilled.

One insight in our sit down, out of the many that she said, that stood out was her view on building relationships from wholeness, not need.

In her younger years, she might have chosen from uncertainty, but now she seeks love from peace and self-knowledge.

She also spoke about asking the hardest questions.

Am I really happy?

Am I aligned with my values?

Questions that push us beyond appearances and towards truth.

One of the hardest questions, you talked about asking, answering, asking yourself difficult questions.

And I want to ask you something about that.

But one thing I've said to my wife is, if you ever fall out of love with me, please tell me.

Because I don't want to live a day without love.

I'm really confident about the fact that I'm worthy of love and that I want to experience love in my life.
