The inner child within you is still there. You are all the ages you have ever been.” -Dr. Lapointe [10:17] “We all wanna feel seen and heard. Attachment is our greatest need... and as grown ups, I think that if our needs are met as children then we're not constantly seeking from the outside as grown ups. -David Loyst [15:29] “All of it's a story, so if you don't like the story, if it's not working for you, then choose a new one. And make it be one with a happy ending... you create your experience in this journey called your life based on the story that you decide to make real. So if you don't like your story, choose a different one.” -Dr. Vanessa Lapointe [56:24] Connect:Find | LeylaOn Instagram: @real_leylaOn Twitter: @RealLeylaOn Facebook: @RealLeylaOn Youtube: @RealLeyla Find | David LoystAt drvanessalapointe.com On Instagram: @david_loyst Find | Dr. Vanessa LapointeAt drvanessalapointe.com On Instagram: @dr.vanessalapointeOn Twitter: @DrVlapointeOn Facebook: @drvanessalapointe SUBSCRIBE & RATEOn Apple Podcasts
