Wounded Little Girl. High-Achieving Woman.
Jun 11, 2025
Most people won’t say this out loud, so I will:
Your inner child is running your life.
Not the healed, radiant inner child you post about on Instagram.
I’m talking about the wounded little girl who had to:
-
Make herself useful to be wanted
-
Perform to feel safe
-
Be perfect so no one left
She didn’t get to be carefree.
She got responsible.
She got impressive.
She got tired.
And now?
She’s the one who answers your emails, says yes when you mean no, mothers your partner, and melts down behind closed doors.
That’s who showed up in today’s Unfiltered With Franceska live.
And honestly? She needed to be seen.
How She Shows Up in Your Life (Even Now)
If you’ve ever found yourself:
-
Falling for someone’s potential instead of their reality
-
Leading your business from burnout instead of trust
-
Parenting your children through the lens of guilt instead of grounded-ness...
…it’s not because you somehow 'got it wrong'.
It’s because the girl inside you never got the safety she needed to evolve.
And guess what?
You can’t out-journal her.
You can’t mindset your way past her.
You have to reclaim her.
Your Inner Child Isn’t Soft. She’s Loud.
She’s loud in your relationships — always proving, pleasing, shrinking.
She’s loud in your career — building empires out of trauma responses and calling it “drive.”
She’s loud in your parenting — trying to give your kids everything you never had, even if it costs you yourself.
And it’s not your fault.
But it is your responsibility now.
Human Design Doesn’t Fix Her — It Reveals Her
Today I also shared how this wounded girl shows up differently for each type:
-
Projectors: Over-functioning for recognition and collapsing when they don’t get it
-
Generators/Mani-Gens: Confusing productivity with worth
-
Manifestors: Triggered into rebellion or shutdown when they feel silenced
-
Reflectors: Absorbing everyone else’s pain while forgetting their own
This isn’t fluff.
This is energetic survival masquerading as personality.
So What Do You Do With All of This?
You reclaim her.
Not with quotes.
Not with another free worksheet.
But with deep work. Real work. Nervous system, identity-level work.
That’s exactly what we’re doing inside:
π₯ RECLAMATION

π€ RE-DEFINING YOU
My private 1:1 mentorship for high-achieving women ready to burn the performance mask and build a life that feels as good as it looks.
We go deep.
We go slow.
We go real.
If this stirred something in you, good.
That’s not anxiety.
That’s your system remembering what it’s like to feel safe enough to want something more.
You don’t need to be saved.
But it’s time to stop letting the little girl inside of you run the empire.
Let’s reclaim her.
Let’s reclaim you.
