I’m Bernie Giggins—founder of Inner Child Harmony Coaching, life coach, author, Navy veteran, wife, mum, and proud grandmother. My mission is to help you heal emotional wounds, break free from old patterns, and step into your true self-sovereignty. Through my own journey overcoming trauma and advocating for my family in domestic & family courts, I’ve learned the power of resilience, compassion, and transformation. That’s what inspired the “Dragonfly Pathway to Self-Sovereignty”—a program designed to support you in shedding old identities and embracing your fullest, most empowered self. Whether you’re seeking one-on-one coaching, group support, or a proven path to personal growth, I’m here to guide you every step of the way as your Self-Sovereignty Coach & mentor. The greatest revolution is the one within—let’s take that journey together.
There was a time when I felt invisible, lost in people-pleasing and old wounds I couldn’t name. My inner child was hidden beneath layers of survival—until one golden morning, a dragonfly landed on my hand. It felt like a sign: transformation was possible, even for me.
That gentle nudge started my journey from ‘Fawn’ to fearless, and now I get to walk beside others as they find their wings too. 🌸
Curious how a single moment can open a whole new path? I’d love to share more—book your free First Step to Self-Sovereignty call.
You’re not alone on this path. 💛

Ever wonder why you might freeze or fawn?
Sometimes, your inner child is still waiting for the comfort you never received. That urge to please or go quiet? It’s your nervous system asking for safety, not weakness.
Next time you feel that old pattern rising, try this: Pause. Breathe. Place a gentle hand on your heart. Whisper to yourself, “I see you, little one. You’re safe now.”

Gentle reminder: Your inner child matters deeply.
Ever find yourself people-pleasing or putting everyone else first? Sometimes, that’s your inner child reaching out, quietly asking to be seen and heard.
What would shift if you paused—just for a moment—and asked, “What do I need right now?”
✨ Take a breath. Grab your journal. Let your inner child speak.
What does she need today?

Metamyth Monday Week 5: Taking Flight 🧚♀️
What if your soul’s next chapter means doing the opposite of what you’ve always done?
When you’ve lived in freeze or fawn, “taking flight” can feel like waking from a deep slumber. It’s like a spiritual stroke—you have to learn to live, feel, and move in a way that’s brand new. Awkward, yes. Uncertain, absolutely. But it’s also the first breath of becoming your authentic self.
What if you don’t even know you’re in a freeze or fawn response? Come to the Dragonfly Pathway to Self-Sovereignty 5-Day Challenge to find out—or stay stuck and a slave to this old pattern.
Reflection: Where in your life are you ready to move differently, even if it feels strange or scary?
Ready for a real shift? Join my Dragonfly Pathway to Self-Sovereignty 5-Day Challenge, Dec 1–5. Each day, a new level of transformation. Message me “I’m ready” to join.✨

From people-pleaser to powerful sovereign woman.
Can you imagine finally feeling safe in your own skin—after years of putting everyone else first? That was Gemma’s story. She came to me exhausted, convinced she’d never break free from those old patterns.
Here’s what she shared after our journey together:
"For the first time, I feel seen—truly seen. Bernie’s Dragonfly Pathway helped me reconnect with my inner child and finally set boundaries without guilt. My family sees the shift. I laugh more, I rest, I say ‘no’—and it feels GOOD."
This is the kind of transformation that lights me up. If you’re ready to write your own new story, book your free First Step to Self-Sovereignty call soon. The link is in the bio below. 💖
You deserve to feel this free.

From broken to brave: my true story.
If you’ve ever felt invisible, stuck in old patterns, or lost in people-pleasing, you’re not alone. For years, I battled childhood trauma, bullying, and the ache of not feeling “enough.” It was only when I found the courage to face my inner child—and let her lead me home—that everything changed.
I created the Dragonfly Pathway because I know how lonely the journey can feel. But healing is possible, and you deserve to feel free, seen, and sovereign in your own life.
Ready to take your first step? Join my free Dragonfly Pathway to Inner-Sovereignty Masterclass on Monday, 27th October at 6:30pm. Save your spot now: www.innerchildharmonycoaching.com.au 💖
You’re not broken—this is your beginning.

Ever wondered why self-compassion feels so hard?
Most of us learned to please others before we ever learned to soothe our own hearts. That old voice inside—maybe it’s a parent, a teacher, or just the echo of a tough childhood—can make it feel safer to shrink than to shine.
Here’s a gentle tip I use myself: Pause. Place your hand on your heart. Breathe in self-compassion, exhale fear. Even one mindful breath can begin to soften the old stories and remind your inner child: you are safe, you are worthy, you are enough.

If your heart races or your stomach drops when you try to set a boundary, you’re not alone. This is often your inner child’s way of keeping you safe—by pleasing others, even when it hurts you.
Here’s a gentle tip: Next time you feel yourself saying 'yes' when you mean 'no', pause and place your hand over your heart. Breathe deeply. Whisper, 'I am safe to choose myself.'

We all know the normal fight, flight and freeze responses but Fawn is the four-letter trauma response no-one is talking about. It answers the frustrating questions of why we can’t use our voice, can’t be seen, can’t stop sacrificing our life for others, no matter the cost to ourselves, it’s a silent FAWN addiction?
The Fawn mindset is an immensely powerful entity, inside a fortress to keep you permanently safe, protected and survive, at any cost. Fawn is programmed by your deepest fears and childhood beliefs, hardwired to brain and nervous systems, it controls everything about you and life.
Fawn forfeits on your behalf, makes you sacrifice without conscious consent. You become the permanent assistant to everyone’s success and happiness while forsaking our own. Forever on the cursed merry-go-round, questioning when is it ever going to be my turn?
From Fawn to Fearless Program unpacks the lies, illusions, hidden agendas the Fawn has over us to become the protective guardian we need.
By working with me, you will access the deepest truths and inner resources your soul has for you. You will gain the fearlessness required to claim back your power by connecting to your soul and freeing your own rebel inner child.
You will gain back the courage, bravery and Mumma bear attitude, you already have within, setting your rebel heart and life free. Then attracting the positive, loving, abundance and relationships waiting for you outside the Fawn fortress door.
