At eight years old, Heather Ann Ferri went from a fairly happy child to silent and fearful— walking around like a deer in headlights. The shift happened suddenly when her mother began choking her while brushing her hair, abuse that continued for over a year. Yet no one asked what had happened. No one noticed. And Heather Ann learned to stay quiet, walking on eggshells in a desperate attempt to prevent what she couldn’t control.
In this profound conversation, Heather Ann shares her journey from childhood trauma and generational pain to becoming a trauma expert and master alchemist. She opens up about the silence that consumed her, the years of living in fear, and the healing path that led her back to the most powerful relationship of all—the one with her inner child.
Today, Heather Ann helps others overcome CPTSD, OCD, chronic fatigue, sugar addiction, and deep-rooted trauma through innovative programs that blend her artistic background with ancient healing sciences. She believes reconnecting with your inner child isn’t just about healing—it’s a superpower that fuels creativity, voice, and intuition in every area of life.
We discuss:
- The invisible wounds of childhood trauma and why no one asked
- How silence became survival—and how she found her voice again
- Reuniting with your inner child as the key to self-love and healing
- Communicating with loved ones in spirit, including her father
- The unexpected appearance of Mr. Rogers during our conversation
Heather Ann’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and proof that our inner child holds the key to our deepest healing.
