  Ep. 2 - Manifestation & The Inner Child: Reconnecting to Your Source 08.09.2026 26mnt

  n this episode of Psychology Beyond Therapy, Sarah Baena — psychologist, yoga teacher, and author of Your Healing is Your Success — unpacks one of today's most talked-about (and misunderstood) topics: manifestation.Sarah explores why manifestation isn't just about wanting things — it's about reconnecting with the unfiltered, imaginative energy we had as children. She dives into the concept of the inner child, explaining how kids at play are naturally attuned to a limitless source of creativity and possibility, before responsibilities, grades, and the need for acceptance teach us to disconnect from it.The conversation moves through why so many adults end up in jobs and routines that leave them feeling passionless, and how rediscovering purpose starts with an honest, internal search rather than external achievement. Sarah shares personal reflections on her own path — including how gratitude, appreciation, and daily meditation opened the door to abundance in her own life — and offers practical insight into managing negative thoughts without suppressing them.At the heart of the episode is a simple but powerful idea: real change never starts on the outside. It starts within — through introspection, connection to the higher self, and consistent small shifts that, over time, add up to what we call miracles.Follow Sarah on Instagram @SarahFashionModel or find more from Psychology Beyond Therapy on your favorite podcast platform. Her upcoming book, Your Healing is Your Success, dives deeper into healing, vulnerability, and inner-child work.

  Ep. 1 - The Missing Piece: Yoga, Psychology, and Finding Inner Stability 01.09.2026 19mnt

  In this debut episode, host Sara Baena, a Colombian psychologist and certified yoga instructor now based in the U.S., introduces the vision behind the show: exploring practical psychology that helps us live fuller, happier lives.She opens up about her own journey—reaching a point of external success while still feeling something was missing. That missing piece was mental stability, which she found by combining her psychology background with yoga, discovering a powerful mind-body connection that reshaped her life.At the heart of this episode is an invitation to reconnect—with your inner child, your inner voice, and the parts of yourself that get lost in the rush of modern life. Sara talks candidly about how disconnected we've become from ourselves in a culture built on competition and constant consumption, and why meditation, even in its simplest form, can be a powerful tool for reclaiming that connection.The conversation moves into the unconscious mind—how up to 95% of our behavior is shaped by beliefs formed in childhood, absorbed from parents, teachers, and early experiences before we had the judgment to question them. Sara explains why talk-based approaches remain one of the most effective ways to access and reshape these deep-rooted patterns, and how this work connects to real struggles like addiction, relationship difficulties, and feeling stuck in life.She also touches on energy, mindset, and the idea that psychology doesn't have to live in a silo—it intersects with everything, including yoga and even how we dress and present ourselves.This episode sets the tone for what's ahead: honest, holistic conversations about the mind, emotional well-being, and the everyday tools we can use to live with more balance and joy.In this episode:Balancing the many spheres of life (health, work, family, self)Combining yoga and psychology for mind-body connectionReconnecting with your inner childWhy meditation matters, even if you don't know where to startUnderstanding the unconscious mind and childhood conditioningHow unconscious patterns show up in addiction and relationshipsPsychology's connection to everyday life, energy, and self-imageFollow Sara:IG: psychology_beyond_therapy
