135 | Women Without Kids with Ruby Warrington Jul 16, 2023

Show notes

I’ve been looking forward to sharing this conversation with you– because there are so few converstaions about or among women without kids.

Today, I’m speaking with Ruby Warrington, the author of the new book, Women Without Kids, as well as the author and creator of Sober Curious. With both of these creations, she’s also known as an astute cultural commentator and true thought leader.

I appreciate how Ruby brings much more nuanced, deep thinking and exploration to this topic– from various lifestyle circumstances and choices that go into not having children, to other kinds of legacies, intergenerational trauma and healing, stereotype-busting, and more.

We go into all of this, and more, in today’s conversation.

Since more and more women are not having children for a multitude of reasons– and there will be more of us aging and maturing on the planet in future years, it’s time we bring more awareness to what Ruby calls the “rise of the unsung sisterhood.”

Whether you’re a woman with or without kids, please have a listen. This is important! And share it with others too.

Enjoy!

133 | The Power of Healing in Groups with Chris Burris Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

As the last part of our IFS interview series this spring, I invited Chris Burris, a senior lead trainer for Internal Family Systems Institute and one of my own teachers, back to the podcast.

Last year, Chris published the book Creating Healing Circles: Using the Internal Family Systems Model in Facilitating Groups, and has since gone on to lead numerous sold-out IFS Healing Circle facilitation trainings, which I had the pleasure of being part of this past spring.

Today, we speak about the power of healing in groups, why this is the medicine we need in these times, and what that can open up for us that one-on-one therapy cannot. In addition, we discuss: the different stages of a group process, keys to being a skilled facilitator, integrating different modalities into groups, how to know if you should do group or individual work, and aspects of ourselves that can be explicitly healed in groups. Plus, towards the end, Chris leads us through a powerful experiential meditation.

We go deep and I always find talking and learning with Chris to be inspiring! I know you will, too. Enjoy.

132 | Understanding Addictive Processes with Cece Sykes May 25, 2023

Show notes

We’re continuing our IFS interview series this spring– where I’m sharing a handful of interviews with IFS trainers, helping us to better understand, and in turn heal, what can often be challenging parts of ourselves.

This month, we’re going to gain a really eye-opening, empowering perspective on addictive processes.

It’s a counter-cultural way of looking at things that are often very taboo. To help map this addictive process out for us, I’ve invited Cece Sykes onto the podcast today. A LCSW, as well a a consultant and senior trainer with the Internal Family Systems Institute, Cece specializes in trauma and addiction and is deeply respected for her contributions in this field.

Enjoy!

131 | 5 Kinds of Relationships with Your Inner Critic May 21, 2023

Show notes

Over the years, one of the most common struggles I support women with is their Inner Critics.

These can be perfectionist parts of us, task masters, parts that tell us what horrible or bad people we are, or aspects of ourselves that control our speech and behavior– preventing us from taking risks or going after our dreams.

In today's episode, I invite into the light of awareness the kind of relationship you currently have with your Inner Critic. I also spell out the five different kinds of relationships you can have and offer a map for how you can move yours from unhealthy or unconscious to more fulfilling and friendly.

Yes, it is possible to transform our Inner Critics into our greatest confidantes! That's exactly what we're exploring here today.

Show notes

With the arrival of spring here in Colorado, I'm celebrating a series of new beginnings– both in my life and my work.

In today's episode, I explore the journey I've been on over the past several years and how I've moved from periods of immense uncertainty and dissolution to the shores of greater clarity.

Since we all move through these cycles of creation and dissolution, I share this to help you better navigate and trust your unique process.

129 | Allowing Life to Be As It Is Apr 09, 2023

Show notes

On this Easter Sunday, and during this span of holy days across various traditions, I wanted to share an excerpt from a dharma talk I offered last year at this time in my online Internal Family Systems & feminine spirituality community, Women's House of Wisdom.

In it, I speak to the metaphysical principles behind these holidays, and what they can teach us about true, spiritual surrender, what's possible when we stop trying to control life through our personalities, and the transformative cycles of death and rebirth.

This is for you if you want to remember what's really possible for you (beyond your human limitations), are tired of trying to fix/control/manipulate life, or have simply reached a place in your life that your ego can't help you get out of.

May this be of benefit.

128 | Shame, Anxiety & Depression Through an IFS Lens with Rina Dubin Apr 02, 2023

Show notes

Over the next few months, I'm offering a mini-series here on the podcast to help us delve more deeply into Internal Family Systems, or IFS, which as many of you know has become a core part of my work over the past couple of years (and a core part of my own healing journey for the past decade).

If you’re not sure what IFS is, stay tuned. You’ll learn more about it in today’s conversation!

Our particular focus today is on a few states of being that I know can play big roles in all of our lives, in varying ways and degrees: shame, anxiety, and depression.

And I’m inviting an IFS lead trainer and psychologist, Rina Dubin, to lead us into this exploration.

Our conversation offers an overview of IFS, an exploration of the things that we both value about this approach to healing and living, a discussion on leadership, an overview of shame, anxiety, and depression through an IFS lens, a guided experiential to get to know your inner world more intimately, and more.

Enjoy!

127 | Reflections for the Equinox Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

Today I'm sharing an excerpt from a dharma talk I gave at this time two years ago in my online Internal Family Systems & feminine spirituality community, Women's House of Wisdom.

It offers some reflections for all of us on this equinox, for, even if you're not in a place in the world where you're stepping into an actual spring, we all know what it's like to transition out of a metaphorical winter.

May this talk support and inspire you through whatever changes and transitions you're currently facing.
