Synopsis

You are not one person. You are two, and one of them has been driving your life since you were four years old.

Why do smart, capable adults keep making the same painful choices, again and again? Why do relationships fall apart over the same old argument? Why does a dropped glass of milk sometimes feel like a five-alarm emergency?

For more than twenty years, intuitive healer and former CBS Radio host Lisa J. Smith has watched this exact pattern play out in session after session, and traced it back to the same missing piece every time: an adult body being run, moment to moment, by a much younger, unhealed part of the same person.

Who's Driving? is Lisa's expanded guide to healing that split, built from her celebrated DailyOM course, Reparent Your Inner Child, and reworked from the ground up into a full-length book. In fourteen chapters organized into four clear parts, you will learn to:

  • Tell, in real time, whether your wounded inner child or your grounded adult self is currently in charge of a decision, a relationship, or a reaction
  • Recognize your personal triggers, understand where they come from, and know exactly what to do the instant one goes off
  • Trace a present-day overreaction back to the age it was actually born, so you can finally close the loop on it
  • Earn your own inner child's trust back with a ten-step practice, and write a contract with yourself that actually holds
  • Set boundaries that stick, rediscover what genuinely brings you joy, and find the daily balance most adults have completely lost
  • Recognize this same dynamic in every other person in your life including your partner, your family, your coworkers, and stop taking their reactions so personally

Each chapter closes with a Homecoming Journal: guided questions, real exercises, and short practices designed to move what you just read out of theory and into your actual life. This is not a book you read once and shelve. It is a relationship with yourself you learn to maintain, one moment at a time.

If you are tired of therapy-speak that never turns into action, and you want a direct, compassionate, practical map back to yourself, Who's Driving? will hand you the keys.
