Lighthouse Within
Welcome to the Lighthouse Within Podcast. I’m Raina Rose - a coach, psychology nerd, and someone who believes healing is about coming home to who you’ve always been.
My passion is sharing - sharing thoughts, conversations, stories, and space. This is a space to simply show up as you are where we can unpack all the learning, unlearning, and in-between moments that shape us.
When we open up, we remember we’re never doing this alone. There’s so much belonging in the reminder that we can always come home to ourselves - and from that place, live in alignment with what truly matters to us.
Whether it's a solo episode or a meaningful shared conversation, this podcast is all about self-exploration, connection, and the courage to expand and show up as you - knowing that’s always been enough. Every episode is a chance to pause, reflect, and tune into your inner light.
So let’s get cozy - and shine together.

#12 Reconnecting with Your Inner Child
There’s a part of you that never stopped needing care, play, and presence - that part is your inner child. And reconnecting with them can be one of the most healing and powerful things you ever do.
In this episode, I’m diving into what it means to truly nurture your inner child - the piece of you that holds past experiences, emotions, and unmet needs. Whether it’s the holidays stirring up nostalgia or you're simply craving more joy and authenticity, this is your invitation to reflect on where you’ve been and how you can meet yourself more fully in the present.
I share insights from my own journey as well as the work of experts like Dr. Gabor Maté, exploring how childhood experiences shape our adult patterns and how tending to our inner child can bring emotional relief and reconnection. We also look at how parenting or observing children can reawaken your own sense of wonder, play, and truth.
