What if the relationship that needed the most healing was the one you have with yourself?

In this episode, Taelor Chanel and Misha Battiste get personal as they explore the concept of reparenting — what it actually means, why it matters, and how to begin. They walk through a powerful church-based activity on the 10 emotional needs every human is born with: Acceptance, Affection, Attention, Affirmation, Security, Comfort, Encouragement, Support, Appreciation, and Respect. Along the way, they weave in cultural touchstones, stories of Black women during the Harlem Renaissance, and honest reflections from their own healing journeys.

This episode is part education, part reflection, and part healing. Whether you grew up in a home where your emotional needs were consistently unmet, or you're just now recognizing that some old patterns no longer serve you, this conversation will meet you where you are and give you real tools to start showing up differently for yourself.

Because self-love isn't just a feeling. It's a practice. And it starts with understanding what you needed then, and what you deserve right now.
