ALIGNED | The Path to Purpose
Break the Cycle: Healing Your Inner Child to Change Your Life | LJ Jones
In this episode of ALIGNED by Amber Doyle, I’m joined by British counsellor, author and speaker LJ Jones for a powerful and honest conversation around childhood trauma, reparenting and breaking generational cycles.
LJ shares the journey behind her book Become the Parent You Needed: Heal Yourself to Raise Emotionally Healthy Children, and how her work supporting clients across the world has shown her that so much of what we carry in adulthood stems from our early experiences.
We explore inner child healing, people-pleasing, parentification, emotional safety and the pressure many parents feel to be perfect. We also speak openly about motherhood, self-sacrifice, boundaries and the importance of learning to nurture yourself as deeply as you nurture others.
This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about getting it right all the time. It’s about awareness, compassion and making conscious choices that create healthier relationships, with yourself and those around you.

Look How Far You’ve Come, and Who You’re Becoming | Solo Episode
40:29|In this solo episode of ALIGNED | The Path to Purpose, I invite you to pause and truly recognise how far you have come.So often, we are focused on what’s next that we forget to honour the version of ourselves who got us here. The growth, the lessons, the challenges, the moments that shaped you into who you are today. This episode is about shifting that perspective, releasing the weight of the past, and learning to speak to yourself with more kindness, compassion and trust.I share my thoughts on visibility, authenticity and what it really means to show up for yourself, not as a perfect version, but as a real and evolving one. We explore letting go of old narratives, moving through negativity, reconnecting with your spark, and allowing more joy into your life as it unfolds.This is your reminder that you are not starting over. You are evolving. You are becoming the version of yourself that you love, honour and feel proud of.If you’re ready to deepen your journey, you can explore more at @alignedbyamberdoyle on Instagram and visit my website for offerings, events and on-demand courses: www.alignedbyamberdoyle.com

Self-Sabotage: Why Are You Holding Yourself Back? | Solo Episode
31:08|In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into the ways we unknowingly hold ourselves back; through limiting beliefs, fear, and the old narratives we continue to carry. So often, it’s not a lack of opportunity or ability that keeps us stuck… it’s the stories we’ve internalised about who we are, what we deserve, and what’s possible for us.I explore how fear can quietly shape our decisions, how self-doubt can block expansion, and how we can become our own biggest obstacle without even realising it. This episode is an invitation to gently but honestly look at where you might be getting in your own way, where you’re playing small, hesitating, or not fully believing in yourself.We’ll talk about recognising these patterns, understanding where they come from, and beginning to shift them so you can open yourself up to more: more alignment, more abundance, more of what you truly desire.If you’ve been feeling stuck, held back, or like something just isn’t clicking despite your efforts, this episode will help you reconnect with your power and move forward with deeper awareness and intention.
