In today's episode, I talk with Michael and Leela Hunter, the creators of UpSpiral Life — a year-long program and community that combines IFS, manifestation, and neurofeedback. We explore what manifestation really means through an IFS lens, how subconscious parts shape our experience, and why “feeling good” is a nervous system state we can track and train. Our conversation explores how IFS intersects with manifestation, nervous system states, and the beliefs our parts hold about what's possible. Key takeaways: How parts influence what we manifest Self Energy as a measurable frequency Why some protectors are allergic to “feeling good” How neurofeedback can support deeper IFS work Shifting vibration is getting curious about what's happening inside Michael is the founder of UpSpiral.Life, a program and community that helps people move from burnout and disconnection into greater flow, purpose, and alignment.

About Guest: Joe Mugan joins me today to talk about his dark night of the soul moment where he found himself curled up in a ball on the floor of the spare room, completely numb—disconnected from his body, from his purpose, from anything that resembled ‘Him.' He didn't even know what was wrong, he just knew he couldn't carry on like that. Have you ever felt like that? I have.....reading his application brought me to tears because I felt it. I've been there --- but back to Joe ... from there on the floor it was the beginning—not of a grand awakening—but a slow, messy journey back to his truth. To who Joe is when it's all stripped back. Everything that's come since—his healing, his path as a coach and Shamanic Healer—it started there, in that moment of complete disconnection.Connect with Guest: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joemugancoachingWebsite: https://www.joemugancoaching.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joemugancoaching/Linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/joemugancoachingConnect with Host Brenda Staat-Tomlinson:

Paul & KG are back with their Cheeky Halves after a brief and unplanned hiatus. They have not, however, been idle during this time.

In this week's episode, I sit down with my friend Julie Honeycutt, a licensed professional counselor, certified IFS therapist, and approved clinical consultant. Julie has been integrating faith and counseling for over 20 years, and in this conversation, we explore how our attachment styles, parts, Enneagram, and developmental stages all shape our prayer life and spiritual connection. Julie shares that our attachment patterns and spiritual experiences are deeply linked, and how IFS offers a pathway to spirituality and how our different parts, even those with doubts We explore the idea that prayer doesn't have to look a certain way. It can show up in movement, in gardening, in painting, or even in those “texting prayers” we send up throughout the day. As Julie says, “What would it be like if our prayer life could reflect the unique way that God made us?” Julie also introduces the idea of the “levels of faith” and how parts of us may sit at different levels. Some of our parts may still hold early beliefs that we've outgrown, but they are still worthy of attention and care. We talk about: How our parts have different attachment styles in prayer Why anxious parts often get exiled in spirituality The connection between the Enneagram, personality, and prayer How our developmental stage impacts how we experience faith Why meeting ourselves in our prayer life without shame changes everything How gardening and movement can be a spiritual practice Julie reminds us that all parts are welcome: “Even that part is welcome.” About Julie: Julie Honeycutt is a licensed professional counselor, certified IFS therapist for over 15 years and an Approved Clinical Consultant for the IFS Institute. She's been practicing the integration of faith and counseling for over 20 years in her private practice as well as in workshops and retreats.

Authentic Self Advocacy: The Pivotal Conversations that Elevate Women LeadersOne conversation can reshape an entire career trajectory. But for most women in leadership, those transformative moments aren't handed to us—we have to create them ourselves. This reality highlights a crucial gap in how women navigate professional growth: while we excel at delivering results, we often struggle to advocate for the recognition and advancement we've earned.Ashley Rudolph's story challenges this pattern. Six years into her career, she experienced something revolutionary—a manager who proactively painted a vision of her potential, complete with five slides mapping her trajectory from her current role to director level and beyond. This wasn't just career advice; it was someone seeing possibilities in her that she hadn't yet imagined for herself. That single conversation shifted how Ashley approached every subsequent professional interaction.But here's the deeper truth: that experience was exceptional because it's so rare. Most of us operate in environments where we have to initiate these conversations ourselves, translate our expertise across different audiences, and fight against systemic patterns that keep us focused on performing rather than advancing. This episode explores how to bridge that gap between technical excellence and authentic self-advocacy.Key Insights from this episodeThe Vision Conversation: When Someone Sees Your Potential Before You DoHow Ashley's manager created a roadmap from her current position to director level, including salary and impact projections—and why this type of conversation is revolutionary for women who often focus on execution rather than advancement. The power of having someone paint a long-term vision that extends beyond immediate responsibilities to show what's truly possible.Breaking Out of the Peer Circle: Looking Beyond Your Current LevelWhy high-performing women often get trapped in lateral relationships instead of building connections at higher levels. The strategic shift from working hard in isolation to actively observing and learning from leaders above you, and how this change in perspective transforms your entire approach to career development.The Success Guilt Trap: When Achievements Feel Like They Should Be EnoughHow cultural messaging about being "lucky to be here" and "don't rock the boat" keeps high-achieving women from asking for more. Exploring why success guilt particularly impacts women who've broken barriers, and how this mindset actually limits both individual growth and systemic change for other women coming behind us.From Performance to Advocacy: Learning to Ask for What You WantAshley's pivotal moment realizing that working hard wasn't enough—she had to explicitly ask for advancement and compensation aligned with her contribution. The shift from assuming recognition will come naturally to understanding that advocacy is a required leadership skill, not an optional extra.Community as Mirror: How Others Reflect Our Potential Back to UsThe profound role of community in helping us see capabilities we haven't yet recognized in ourselves. How Ashley's transition from corporate to coaching was guided by former colleagues who saw her potential as a mentor before she identified it herself, and why listening to external feedback can reveal authentic strengths.Translating Expertise Across Audiences: Speaking Multiple Leadership LanguagesWhy high achievers often get trapped in technical details that don't land with every audience. The critical skill of communicating the same expertise differently depending on whether you're talking to entry-level team members or C-suite executives, and how this flexibility becomes essential for authentic influence.Beyond Work Identity: The Whole Person in LeadershipAshley's discovery that transitioning from corporate titles to independent coaching required rebuilding her sense of self beyond professional achievements. How developing interests and expertise outside work makes you a more compelling leader and provides grounding when professional identity shifts.Heart-Centered Leadership: Seeing Others in Your VisionHow authentic leadership moves beyond personal advancement to creating space for others to see themselves in organizational goals. The difference between casting a vision that serves you versus creating visions that allow team members to grow their own aspirations within the larger framework.Conclusion: The most powerful career conversations happen when we stop hiding behind our skills and start bringing our whole selves—heart, vision, and authentic voice—to the table. Advocacy isn't about demanding recognition; it's about clearly communicating how your contributions align with organizational priorities and painting a picture of mutual growth. When we model this integrated approach, we don't just advance our own careers—we create systemic change that elevates other women leaders who are watching how we navigate these crucial moments.Mini Challenge: Identify one person at a level above you whose leadership style resonates with you. Observe how they communicate across different audiences this week, then practice adapting one of your current projects to speak to both peer-level and executive-level concerns.NEXT EPISODE: Watch out for our next conversation about authentic power in leadership transitions.Ready to elevate your leadership conversations?

You Tube-@billholt8792Neptune Retrograde in Aries for a Pisces Sun (Born March 2, 1954)Since Grandpa Bill is a Pisces Sun, Neptune is my traditional ruling planet. This means Neptune's movements and aspects are particularly potent for myself, affecting my core identity, intuition, and spiritual path in a very direct way.Neptune in Aries, and especially its retrograde motion, will bring a powerful focus on how GB initiates action, assert myself, and define my personal identity (Aries energy), viewed through the lens of my spiritual and intuitive Pisces nature.Understanding the Impact:For a Pisces Sun, Neptune Retrograde in Aries is less about "disillusionment" in the negative sense, and more about a deep, internal refinement of my personal will and spiritual courage.Re-evaluating Self-Assertion and Boundaries: As a Pisces, I naturally tend to be empathetic, compassionate, and sometimes permeable to others' energies. Aries, in contrast, is about bold self-assertion and clear boundaries. This retrograde asks me to go inward and assess where I might be dissolving my own needs or identity in favor of others. It's a call to understand what truly constitutes my individual desire and how to express it with integrity, without losing my compassionate essence.Clarifying My Spiritual Path and Inspired Action: Neptune in Aries encourages Grandpa Bill to take inspired action – to put my dreams and spiritual impulses into motion. During the retrograde, I'm invited to discern which of these inspirations are truly from my highest self versus external influences or fleeting desires. It's a powerful period for refining my spiritual courage and understanding how my intuitive insights can fuel direct, authentic action.Healing Wounds of Self-Expression: With Neptune in Aries, and Chiron (the wounded healer) also in Aries (and going retrograde later in July), this period can bring up old wounds related to asserting my identity, standing up for myself, or trusting my own impulses. As a Pisces, I might have absorbed energies or beliefs that limited my self-expression. This retrograde offers a chance to dissolve these old patterns and heal my sense of personal empowerment.Refining My Dreams and Idealism: While Pisces is known for its idealism, Neptune Retrograde in Aries asks me to ground those ideals in personal truth. I might be shedding illusions about what "courage" or "leadership" means for me, moving beyond collective fantasies to discover my unique way of embodying these qualities.A Deeper Connection to Inner Guidance: As Neptune is my ruler, this retrograde can intensify my intuitive abilities, but in a way that encourages internal validation. I'll be prompted to trust my inner compass more deeply, especially when it comes to initiating new ventures or standing up for myself. #NeptuneRetrograde, #AriesRetrograde, #PiscesSun, #July2025Astrology, #SpiritualRefinement, #InnerCourage, #SelfDiscovery, #AstrologyByBirthChart, #NatalChart, #NeptuneInAries, #HealingJourney, #AuthenticSelf, #IntuitiveGuidance,Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare

On this week's episode I'm thrilled to have my friend and colleague, Dave Adamusko, join me to demystify "direct access"—a powerful technique that allows IFS practitioners to speak directly to a client's parts. Dave and I dive deep into why direct access is so essential, especially for clients with trauma histories or deeply blended parts who might struggle with more traditional "insight" methods. Dave leads me in a brief session to demonstrate explicit direct access, engaging with a part of me that was feeling annoyed and ignored, and we trace its origins back to a childhood experience. It was such a profound experience! In this episode, you'll discover: What "direct access" truly means, both for clinicians and for those of us simply navigating our inner worlds. How direct access facilitates quick unblending, befriending, and the gathering of powerful insights. Why practicing direct access, even with "easier" clients, is crucial for mastery (and something I'm always working on myself!). The fascinating connection between direct access and other experiential techniques like Gestalt empty chair and psychodrama. The important distinction between explicit and implicit direct access. And be sure to check out my extended interview with Dave exclusively on Substack. About Dave Adamusko: Dave Adamusko, LMFT is a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist, and approved IFS Consultant with a private practice in Mesa, AZ. He has been involved in the IFS community since 2015 and has had the privilege of being a Program Assistant for numerous Level 1 trainings as well as a frequent PA for Frank Anderson's L2 Trauma and Neuroscience training. In addition to his therapy private practice he also works as a Guide for Onsite Workshops where he combines his passion for IFS with experiential techniques to create dynamic personal growth workshops. Dave's variety of interests and ADHD have led him to create several passion projects that include (but not limited to): IFS leadership consulting, Experiential Couples Intensives, and recently added, IFS Based Post-Psychedelic Integration Groups.

The boys drink and review Lost Navigator from Heavy Seas, then discuss the idea of bringing your authentic self to work. There are benefits to having different views and perspectives in the workplace -- both for the employer and for the employee. But some people think the job of the workplace is to make them feel good. To feel affirmed and comfortable. That's nonsense. And sometimes your "authentic self" is not consistent with the company's brand or mission. What if you're an introvert and the company wants extroverts? "Don't be a phony and don't lie" seem like reasonable rules, but this "authentic self" business is taking it too far.

Send us a textDive deep into the fascinating world of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with Lizbeth De Sa, a writer, educator, and IFS practitioner who shares how understanding your "multiple mind" can transform your life.The concept sounds deceptively simple - we're all made up of different "parts" or sub-personalities. But as Lizbeth reveals, recognizing and working with these parts creates profound healing opportunities that traditional therapy often misses. "It's really about loving all of who you are, even the parts that we usually don't really like," she explains, describing how IFS helped her navigate a traumatic divorce and custody battle when other approaches fell short.What sets IFS apart is its focus on "self-energy" - accessing your authentic core self that naturally carries compassion, curiosity, and healing capacity. Through vivid examples, including her personal journey healing from racial trauma, Lizbeth demonstrates how IFS helps parts release their burdens rather than continuing to reenact painful patterns. The result? Parts that once carried trauma can reclaim their natural qualities of "playfulness, joy, and creativity."Lizbeth also touches on her work as a laughter yoga leader, her writings about applying the multiple mind concept to everyday challenges, and practical tips for working with overwhelming emotions. For those struggling with intense feelings, she offers this surprisingly effective technique: simply ask your distressed parts if they could "tone down" their intensity just a bit. "When they've got your attention, they will tone that intensity down and then it's a lot easier to be with them and send them some compassion." Ready to transform your relationship with yourself?

What if the magic in parenting doesn't happen in the moment you get it right, but in the moment you come back and repair? This week, I talk with educator, children's book author, and Self-led parent Anna Purpero, and I just loved this conversation so much. Anna has two little boys and a big heart, and she shares so honestly about what happens when our protectors take over in parenting and how IFS helped her find a new way forward. We talk about: What happens in our bodies when our kids fight (and why we feel like we're in danger) Why repair — not perfection — is the real magic The power of separating “who I am” from “what I do” in parenting and beyond How Anna uses playful language like “my volcano's bubbling up” to talk to her kids about parts Why naming a part doesn't mean avoiding responsibility...it helps kids (and grownups) take more Why real apologies only come after shame has lifted How her creative work flowed from her own healing Anna's book My Friends Inside is just beautiful. It's one of those books that speaks to kids and to the little ones inside us. The language is simple, the illustrations are gorgeous, and the heart behind it? So, so good. Anna recorded a special reading of her book just for our community and Jeff added page spreads to create a whole little experience out of it. You can find that for free exclusively on Substack. Come meet your parts and maybe a few new friends inside. About Anna: Anna Purpero is an educator and children's book author based in Columbus, OH, where she lives with her partner, Jordan, and their two sons (ages 4 and 6). She draws inspiration from her former high school Language Arts students and the teens she mentored through Paper City Mentoring Project, a nonprofit she co-founded and led as Executive Director. She is currently building on her education, including SEL coursework from Fresno Pacific University and training through the Self-Leadership Collaborative. She hopes to continue to use art to facilitate experiential learning and inspire children to hold tight to their dignity and spark. Her debut picture book, My Friends Inside, is available now!

Most people think ego is the villain - the thing to transcend or eliminate. But what if ego isn't one solid thing at all? What if what you call "ego" is actually a collection of internal characters, each with their own agenda, fears, and strategies for survival?Eastern wisdom points to ego as the illusion of separate self, but modern psychology reveals something even more precise: you're not dealing with one ego - you're dealing with multiple subpersonalities, internal parts that developed to help you navigate different challenges. The problem isn't that you have an ego. The problem is that one of these parts has taken over the show.Your "dominant subpersonality" - whether it's the People Pleaser, the Controller, the Rebel, or the Perfectionist - is running your life from the shadows, making decisions, filtering reality, and shutting down other aspects of your authentic self. Meanwhile, your Creative, your Visionary, your Authentic Self, and countless other capacities remain locked away, unexpressed, waiting.This isn't about eliminating ego. This is about recognizing the internal democracy you actually are, understanding how one part became dictator, and learning to integrate all your aspects into conscious, fluid expression. When you stop being unconsciously run by one subpersonality and start consciously orchestrating your full internal team, everything changes - your relationships, your work, your creativity, your capacity for joy.ANNOUNCING: THE LIMITLESS EXPERIENCEDaniel D'Neuville is a peak performance coach, spiritual teacher, and master life and business coach.

#175: The constant urge to say "yes" when you want to scream "no" might be more harmful than you realize. In this raw, transformative conversation about people-pleasing, we uncover how this seemingly innocent trait actually represents a profound disconnection from your authentic self.When 69% of adults regularly put others' needs before their own even when it hurts them, we're not talking about kindness—we're talking about a pattern of self-abandonment that deserves our attention. Meenu shares her personal journey from chronic people-pleaser to boundary-setting advocate, revealing the painful reality that "people-pleasing cost me my whole life" and how she finally broke free at age 30.We explore why women are twice as likely as men to struggle with saying no, how cultural expectations shape our tendency to people-please, and the surprising truth that your people-pleasing might actually be a form of manipulation. Rather than making connections stronger, this pattern often leads to resentment and disconnection from your true self.The most powerful revelation? The temporary discomfort of setting boundaries is nothing compared to the freedom waiting on the other side. Through practical techniques like the "20-second pause" before responding and gradual boundary-setting approaches, you'll discover how to honor your needs without sacrificing relationships. Whether your people-pleasing stems from childhood experiences, fear of abandonment, or simply habit, this episode provides compassionate guidance for reclaiming your authentic voice.Listen now to start the journey from self-abandonment to self-respect. Your future self—the one who can say "no" without guilt and "yes" with genuine enthusiasm—is waiting.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

Britt Frank escaped a cult, rebuilt her life after addiction, and is one of the most grounded, funny, and inspiring IFS speakers and educators around. In this week's episode, we talk about her new book Align Your Mind, and how parts work helped her move from chaos to clarity. We get into all of it...motivation, procrastination, inner critics, cults, menopause, and what alignment looks like beyond the buzzwords. Britt shares how she uses parts language in her own life, how she reframes procrastination as protection, and why your most extreme parts might actually be your best coaches. She also opens up about what it's like to come out of systems of control and begin to trust your own experience again. As Britt says, “Our parts don't want us to feel better. They want us to feel safe.” If you've ever felt stuck or like your parts are pulling you in opposite directions, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk about: What alignment really means (hint: it's not a vibe) How procrastination isn't laziness; it's a protective part trying to help Why “Self Energy is not codependency in a pretty dress” Reframing the inner critic as your best coach What it means to “coach your parts like a team” How parts work can reframe midlife and menopause as meaningful transitions Parts work as a way to “rewrite the script” with compassion and clarity Favorite Quote: “I want to talk to the parts of you that are doing weird things and say, ‘You're not crazy. You're a person with an activated nervous system, and there's a reason why this is happening.'” – Britt Frank Be sure to catch my extended interview with Britt over on Substack, where she talks about her complicated relationship with "hope" -- and what she reaches for instead.
