Ashley Judd is healing her inner child.
When the Heat actress turned 58 in April, instead of celebrating a typical birthday, she threw herself a playful celebration in honor of her younger self, and the experience turned out to be therapeutic.
“On my 58th birthday, my inner 12 year old was ready to receive love, care, attunement, joy, protection and provision,” Ashley captioned a May 12 Instagram post. “From an adult perspective, have you ever considered reenacting for your sweet inner child an experience she never had?”
In fact, Ashley went on to reflect on her pre-teen self’s “unmet needs” and how she can now fill those holes with “love and humor.”
The missing alumni’s memories of sixth grade with their teacher, Mrs. Minor, include learning about geology, dinosaurs, the difference between stalagmites and stalactites, and six weeks of square dancing in gym class.
So one of the activities that Ashley and a group of “sensitive, playful people who enjoy carefree, timeless moments” did at her 12th birthday party was, of course, a square dance.
