Podcasts about IFS

Leaders carry the weight of more than their current roles.We receive messages from the generations before us about our worth, work, and belonging that shape how we show up–for better or worse. This is just as true in our working lives as it is in our families.If we want to change the narratives, we have to become aware of the legacy burdens–personal, familial, cultural, systemic–that have been passed down to us and choose to transform those burdens into opportunities for healing, growth, and leadership that alters the course of our teams and organizations for the better.When we can name what we've absorbed–what doesn't belong to our personal story but to those who came before us–we create space for healing and release. And from that place, we can hold onto our hope, lead with integrity, and stay grounded in what truly matters.My guest today is a dear colleague and friend who is here to talk with me about the impact of generational messaging on our leadership, and how we can begin to dismantle these narratives for ourselves and in our organizations.Crystal R. Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Lead IFS-I Trainer who passionately spreads the healing essence of the IFS model worldwide. Known for her embodied compassion, relatability, and heart-led approach to her work, Crystal has personally experienced the transformative power of the IFS model in her own healing journey. This profound experience fuels Crystal's dedication to creating safe spaces for marginalized communities, particularly Black women and women of color, to feel connected, seen, heard, and valued as they embark on their healing journeys individually and collectively. Crystal is fervently committed to teaching the model in a way that illuminates and speaks to BIPOC communities, ensuring its adaptability, accessibility, and relevance to diverse populations.Listen to the full episode to hear:How legacy burdens are passed through families and cultures as messages of survivalHow Crystal reckons with cultural burdens by choosing to show up imperfectly and with vulnerabilitySelf-reflection questions to help you identify and consider legacy burdensHow belonging and shame show up when working with legacy burdensHow Crystal is shifting workplace narratives for her teams and in her trainingsLearn more about Crystal Jones:Life Source Counseling CenterLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:EP 139: Bad Bosses Aren't Born, They're Made: Breaking Toxic Leadership Cycles with Mita MallickEP 102: Toxic Leadership: The True Cost of Workplace Trauma with Mita MallickBlack Liturgies: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human, Cole Arthur Riley Alex IsleyOrange Is the New Black

Whitney unpacks a recent article from New York Magazine: “The Therapy That Can Break You” about Internal Family Systems (IFS) and what can go wrong when trauma treatment crosses ethical lines. She discusses the dangers of working with fragile populations without proper training, and what to watch for when working with different therapeutic modalities. She then answers two listener questions about navigating estrangement as the family scapegoat and balancing support for a depressed parent without losing yourself. Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.

Richard Wickes is an energy worker and healer based in Chiang Mai. Richard shares his journey from martial arts to studying Daoism in China and how witnessing things he thought impossible steered him towards his work today. ALSO the nature of self, nothingness/flow, traumatic psychic perception, psychosis and schizophrenia through a spiritual lens, finding balance and the power of intention to affect energy.

In this deeply informative episode, I'm joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Melissa Mose, LMFT, who brings 30 years of clinical experience to the table and a unique approach to treating OCD by integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) with traditional methods like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Melissa shares how a personal experience—her daughter's sudden-onset OCD—propelled her into the world of OCD treatment and changed the direction of her career. We talk through how OCD manifests, why traditional ERP can be both life-changing and difficult for people, and how IFS can offer a more compassionate, effective way to approach healing by helping clients access their internal "Self." We also discuss Melissa's new book for clinicians, her training work, and the upcoming OCD SoCal Conference happening online on November 15–16, 2025.

Lieve Luisteraars, Lou hier. Sinds ik zelf weer begonnen ben met het spelen van de OMGame vliegen de Signs & Synchroniciteiten me weer om de oren. OMG, het lígt gewoon HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT op ons te wachten tot we onze aandacht erop richten. In deze uitzending gaat het over de Mega OMG's ten aanzien van de volgende stappen van onze ‘Wonen Wonderen'. Het is weer béter dan ik zelf had kunnen bedenken en ik sta weer versteld..!

Dat soort Signs volg ik dus ook. Ik had die Zonderlinge Zielen puur op intuïtie gecreëerd en nog nooit van IFS (Internal Family System) gehoord en ben me er deze week in gaan verdiepen. Oh la la. Ik heb Projector Style een deep dive gedaan én er (in eerste instantie voor mezelf) een nieuw systeem van gemaakt. En laat dat nou weer precies een synchroniciteit opleveren met het ‘Wonen Wonder'…!

In this episode of Empowered through Compassion, I sit down with psychotherapist, trauma expert and peace-journalism pioneer Annabel McGoldrick to explore one of the most urgent humanitarian crises of our time: the crisis in Palestine. We spoke about how healing works, and the importance of connection, balance and equality. Annabel brings together nearly 25 years as a clinician specializing in trauma, EMDR and IFS-informed therapy, alongside her earlier career and passion in peace journalism. She has a deep commitment to opening up dialogue even for difficult and needed topics. We speak about how the silencing by our field, of the horrors that have been going on in Palestine feels antithetical to the healing work we are tasked to do. Together, we explore how the story of Gaza has been told, and discuss how it might be re-told in ways that reclaim the voices of the those who continue to be oppressed and subjugated in this space.  Annabel's event that she is organizing is called "Breaking the Silence: Trauma Therapists Talk about Gaza." Gabor Mate will be the guest of honor. You can buy tickets here:  https://events.humanitix.com/breaking-the-silence-trauma-therapists-talk-about-gaza The event will feature trauma therapists and activists to share wisdom and reflect on what it takes to truly listen to Palestinian voices, to understand deep collective wounds, and to consider how trauma-informed care intersects with humanitarian justice. There will be emotionally powerful conversation, reminding us that amid conflict and pain, we have the power to listen to provide our presence, which are radical acts of peace!  If you're drawn to conversations that sit at the intersection of power, trauma, identity and hope, this episode is for you! I'm deeply grateful to Annabel for her generosity of voice and for modeling what it looks like to hold suffering with complexity and dignity. You can find out more information about Annabel at her website: https://emdrinsight.com

Together, we explore the sacred (and often misunderstood) terrain of the subconscious mind—and how it quietly shapes everything from your beliefs to your business. Krishna shares how traditional therapy can fall short when the root of resistance lies deeper than the conscious mind can reach. We talk about: The real difference between your conscious and subconscious mind Why "just thinking positively" can sabotage true healing How survival patterns like people-pleasing and perfectionism disguise themselves as "strength" Simple tools to start reprogramming your subconscious—no spiritual bypassing required We also dive into how to embody your zone of genius, reclaim trust in the unknown, and give your Soul the leadership seat in your life and work. You'll walk away with practical tools like: Theta-state visualization practices Subconscious reinforcement exercises Soul-aligned action steps that anchor new beliefs in your body and business And yes—we talk about crying, discomfort, the power of nature, and the beauty of being witnessed by someone who sees you.

Calling all you hungry heartsEverywhere through endless timeYou who wander, you who thirstI offer you, this Bodhi MindCalling all you hungry spiritsAll the lost and the left behindGather round and share this mealYour joy and your sorrow, I make it mine. —KanromonGiving awakens the unbounded heart. What in our lives isn't already shared? If we open to all the inter-relationships that make up our lives, we begin to see that this life is vast, and full of uncounted kindnesses.In the Zen tradition, we have ceremonies and rituals for awakening unbounded generosity. One seasonal ceremony is Sejiki, the Ceremony for the Hungry Ghost. During the ceremony we offer on the altar something for the hungry heart—the part of us that looks for satisfaction in things that often bring more pain, confusion and harm to ourselves and others.We often fear the hungry ghost. We sometimes feel haunted by it. We often feel a lot of shame around what it reaches for, want it seems to want.This ceremony invites us to meet this energy, this part of us—from a place of non-judgmental acceptance, loving kindness, curiosity.Welcoming them out of the shadows, we feed them an offering of something that they truly desire, consciously—with awareness—we let ourselves feel their hunger, as well as perhaps the nourishment of generosity, of kind acceptance and care. What happens when we when make an offering to our ghosts from a place of unbounded generosity and love?We practice Sejiki once a year, but the spirit of making offerings to the hungry heart can continue beyond this one ceremony. Transformation often happens through sustained care, dedication and vow. Below are some daily rituals I have practiced in relationship to the hungry heart.* Making offerings on my personal altar—I have a plate or bowl on my altar where I place offerings to my hungry heart. Whenever I interact with my altar, before or after meditation—I see the offering and have an opportunity to connect with the part of me that hungers.* Offering a bite of food—this practice comes from the Zen practice of oryoki, where we place a few morsels of food in an offering dish for the hungry heart with the prayer, “may all be equally nourished.” The offerings in the dish can be placed outside or in the compost feeding whoever next comes in contact with them.* Chanting the Kanromon—at the monastery we would chant the Chant to the Hungry Spirits or Kanromon every October. When I was on a two month private retreat and feeling the energies of the hungry heart strongly, I chanted this chant before every meal and sometimes more. Its a song about offering, about turning towards those lost and left behind with unbounded generosity. If you want to sing along, here is a recording of Krishna Das singing the Kanromon.Thank you! For the month of November Mud Lotus Sangha is sending 50% of our donations to the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resource Center to help those in our neighborhood who are struggling with food insecurity this month. All of our communities can use extra support and there are many ways to practice generosity. Thank you for all the ways that you show generosity to me and the other beings in your life.Weekly Online Meditation EventMonday Night Dharma — 6P PT / 9P ET Join weekly for drop-in meditation and dharma talk.

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Kaila Yu. Kaila is an author based in Los Angeles. Her debut memoir, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, came out earlier this fall to a rave review in The New York Times. She's also a luxury travel and culture writer with bylines in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more. Kaila's memoir grapples with her experience growing up Asian and female in a world that has so many stereotypes and expectations about both those things. We talk about the pressure to perform so many different kinds of specific beauty labor, the experience of being objectified sexually —and we really get into how we all navigate the dual reality of hating beauty standards and often feeling safer and happier complying with them. I learned so much from this book, and this conversation with Kaila.

Dr. Angele Close is back on the podcast! Today, we're diving deeper into letting go of mom shame and how to build a new relationship within ourselves so we can release that guilt and stress and show up in a more loving, kind, open-hearted way.You'll learn:Why the myths and expectations of society are like swimming in a fishbowlWhat it feels like to be in Self energyHow something as simple as placing your hand over your heart can soothe you in times of stress4 ways to tap into your SelfDr. Angele's story of how she became less reactive with her sonToday's episode is part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Angele Close. If you missed last week's episode, be sure to go back and check it out here. You can also find links to my previous episodes on the Internal Family Systems model (IFS) at the end of the show notes.---------------------------------------Dr. Angele uses the Internal Family Systems model in her therapy and coaching in order to help moms unburden themselves from trauma, guilt, stress, burnout, overwhelm, and that mental load that you're carrying in your head. She then teaches them how to relate to the stressors of parenting in a different way so that they can feel more joyful, calm, present, and able to actually enjoy the experience of raising kids. Turning Myths into EmpowermentIn last week's episode, we talked a lot about the myths of motherhood, including the Good Mom myth.There is so much about mom culture in our society that is toxic. The messaging all around us is sending messages that we basically have to be Supermom, or else we're failing. Dr. Angele says, “It's oppressive. It's life limiting…The liberation comes in the awareness of it.” When it comes to these myths, we have to ask ourselves, “What am I believing? What are the parts of me that have come to believe some of this stuff?”When you understand the answers to these questions, you can actually design your own experience of motherhood. It is an opportunity for awakening and empowerment. Dr. Angele says, “I think becoming a mother is a gateway for us to become our true, authentic self. That's the invitation. That's the true power.” Self Energy and Being Self-Led“Self” was conceptualized by Dr. Richard Schwartz, who created IFS. It's that place inside yourself that is just you. He talks about an energy of being coherent and connected. Your body, heart, and mind are all in the same place.Dr. Angele thinks of it as our soul energy. She says, “It's the energy within yourself which every human has. And it's not changed or tarnished by anything that you've been through or that's happened to you.”One example Dr. Angele shared was the image of the sky. Your Self energy is the sun, and your parts are the clouds. Even on a cloudy, overcast day, the sun is always there. Working with Your Parts - the Manager and the FirefighterUnfortunately, we're not living fully in Self energy every day. That's not realistic when we live in a complex world that often feels unsafe or stressful. That's when our “parts” take the wheel. These other parts come in to help us navigate and cope and live in the real world. They're a bit like our armor, our protection. When we can drop that armor and unburden our parts, we become more aware and conscious to choose our beliefs and energy.The Manager and the Firefighter are two of our Self-protective parts, and they come up a lot with moms. You might also discover parts that are a caregiver, critic, or coach. I've even named some of mine: iPad girl and Wild Child. Have a little fun with...

Before I jump in I want to invite you to a couple of things. If you've gone low contact or no contact with a parent or caregiver, this time of year can bring up a lot. I'm hosting a workshop for folks who are estranged from a parent or caregiver and want tools and support in creating your most meaningful and beautiful life. Every time I run this, folks experience belonging and a sense of hope. We'll meet online on Friday, December 5th from 1pm to 4pm Pacific. go to https://anniezam.com/estranged to register. No one will be turned away because of money. And for everyone, I'm hosting a year-end ritual to clear space in your life for what isn't needed for the new year and setting intentions and creating more space for what matters to you. We'll reflect on the year you've had and tap into the energy and values you want to make your next moves from. If you like internal family systems and parts work, you'll probably resonate with this. You'll have lots of time while we're together to reflect and feel into what's next. If you've joined me in the past for this, you'll notice this one will be less productivity oriented and more about anchoring into yourself. We'll gather online on Thursday, December 11th from 2 to 3:30 Pacific. This is a free gathering. Go to https://anniezam.com/ritual to register and get the link.   My guest today went through a huge personal transformation when she learned Internal Family Systems, or IFS. For example, the ways that she was incredibly productive and excelled at pretty much everything? For the first time in her life, that was not as celebrated. In fact it was something she was encouraged to stop doing. Alexis Roberson, licensed family therapist, provides psychotherapy and virtual parenting groups for families navigating the complexities of neurodivergent caregiving.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Mental Health Business Mentor Podcast, Dr. Margo Jacquot and Tamara Herl dive into how Internal Family Systems (IFS) can serve as both a personal growth framework and a professional leadership tool. Tamara shares how understanding and integrating our own inner parts fosters greater emotional balance, authenticity, and clarity in the way we show up at work. They discuss how IFS principles can help therapists and leaders navigate conflict, strengthen teams, and create more compassionate, connected workplaces. By cultivating inner harmony, clinicians can not only enhance their own resilience but also influence the collective well-being of their organizations. This conversation invites you to explore how healing within can transform how you lead, collaborate, and connect with others.What You'll Learn:How Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps therapists build greater self-awareness, balance, and emotional resiliencePractical ways to apply IFS principles within teams and organizations to strengthen connection and collaboration.How understanding your internal “parts” can reduce burnout, reactivity, and workplace conflict.How integrating IFS can create ripple effects of healing — from individual clinicians to entire systems of care.Bio:Tamara Herl, CEO of Wild Divine Coaching and Retreats, is a spiritual growth guide and coach.

Kristina and Anna unpack how the Inner Villain system shows up in everyday life: time blindness, rule-set clashes, obsessive “fixing,” and the loneliness of divide-and-conquer living. Kristina shares how mold, town history, and nervous-system patterns mirrored the Evasive Expert arc—and the practical “FUNNY” framework she and Luke use to slow down, reconnect, and shift out of overthinking. Anna explores the Righteous Bully, Obedient Critic, Nothing (Invisible Destroyer), and Eternal Child dynamics in relationships, with concrete tools for timing difficult conversations.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Angele Close, a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher. Her work weaves together Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and matrescence to help mothers reconnect with themselves and embrace the process of becoming. She opens up about her own season of disconnection in early motherhood and how discovering IFS helped her find language, clarity, and compassion for the parts within. Her upcoming book, Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom, offers that same roadmap to others. Together, we explore the parts that push us to be the "good mom," the ones that try to do it all, and how IFS can help us lead ourselves and our families with more Self Energy. In this conversation, we explore: Matrescence is the process of becoming a mom, and why naming it matters The "good mom" parts that push us to do it all How IFS helps mothers understand the parts activated by parenting The tension between control, exhaustion, and letting go What happens when protectors soften and play, pleasure, and community return Whether you're a parent, therapist, or simply curious about how our systems respond to change, this conversation is a gentle invitation to lead with more Self energy in every season of life. About Dr. Angele Close Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher. For more than a decade, she's helped women move beyond fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing to find confidence and ease in motherhood and beyond. Her work is deeply guided by Internal Family Systems, which she describes as "a roadmap for understanding ourselves, addressing our pain, and finding a pathway to healing." Her new book, Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom , is available for pre-order and will be out in January 2026.

What happens when the healing world of Internal Family Systems meets the imaginative art of puppetry? In this episode, I sit down with Mark Saltzman, LMP — a self-proclaimed puppet nerd, bodyworker, grief educator, and IFS practitioner — to explore how puppets can bring our inner parts to life in the therapy room and beyond. Mark and I chat about the serendipitous way we met at the IFS Conference, and how puppetry became a playful yet powerful tool for accessing the body's wisdom and deep emotional truth.   We talk about: - The benefits of using puppets to externalize and connect with parts - How embodiment and play foster safety and Self-energy - Why there are no bad puppets (or parts!) - Using puppets for direct access, exile work, and legacy burdens - How you can start using puppets on your own for part connection This episode is equal parts (pun intended) creative, curious, and compassionate — reminding us that healing doesn't have to be so serious all the time. Sometimes, play opens the deepest doors.   About Mark Saltzman, LMP: Mark Saltzman is a Licensed Massage Practitioner with over 30 years of experience, trained at Bastyr University's Bellevue Massage School. His work blends therapeutic bodywork, somatic IFS, and creative expression to help clients reconnect with their inner world through the body.

He's also the founder of Kiwuppet Studios, where he designs and performs puppets that bring emotional worlds to life.   Connect with Mark: Email: mark@kiwuppet.com | mark@sotetherapies.com Websites: www.kiwuppet.com | www.sotetherapies.com   _____________________________ Want to work with Natalie?

A lifelong dancer, somatic therapist, and creative arts practitioner, Marybeth explains how Dance/Movement Therapy helps unlock trauma, reconnect people with their bodies, and offer new pathways to transformation.We explore how she integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), why movement accesses truth in ways talk therapy can't, and what to do if the idea of “dancing” your way to healing makes you uncomfortable.This episode is for anyone ready to step out of their head and into their body-and discover what's waiting there.What you'll learn in this episode: ·      What Dance/Movement Therapy actually is-and isn't.·      Why movement is a doorway to healing that words can't always open.·      The difference between Creative Arts and Expressive Arts Therapies.·      How Dr. Marybeth integrates IFS with somatic practices.·      Common resistances clients face with movement-based therapy.·      How body image and disconnection show up-and how DMT can help.·      Why she calls her approach a methodology, not just a modality.. A powerful story of transformation through movement.A gentle first step for those curious but hesitant to try it. Where to find Dr. Marybeth Weinstock:www.creativetransition.net How to find Melissa:Email me at MindYourOwnKarma@gmail.comMYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠Somatic Healing Journeys: https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com/#DanceMovementTherapy#SomaticHealing #IFS #CreativeArtsTherapy #EmbodiedHealing #MindBodyConnection#MovementIsMedicine #BodyWisdom #HealingThroughMovement #AdoptionHealing#TherapyAlternatives #TraumaHealing #SomaticTherapy #MindYourOwnKarma#SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys

Have you ever noticed the world is built for couples? Dinner for two, “plus-one” invites, family discounts — even the way people glance at you when you're alone after divorce. It can feel like every billboard is whispering: you don't belong.In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn, Coach Tiffini, and Producer Joy get brutally honest about what it means to be single in a couple's world. They unpack:

Click here to send me a quick message :) So many of us are walking around with the beliefs we created in childhood running the show.And almost always, we are unconscious of it. Largely because we have other parts of ourselves protecting us from feeling or becoming aware of the hurt parts of ourselves.These "parts" protect us, or try to, and in a way cause us to act and react to everything from social interactions to work to relationships to sexual connections to how-we-treat-our-own-selves.So, what can we do to heal some of these deep core wounds (whether they came from obvious trauma or from less-visible places in our lives)?And how can we use embodied practices to help us do that? This is what Kristen Stake and I talk about on this week's episode.Not only is she a licensed professional counselor trained deeply in Internal Family Systems (aka "parts work"). She is also a mover, and somatic practices have been a huge part of her life and healing path. So she has developed her own style of bridging the world of "parts work" and somatic practices like authentic movement into an embodied form of "Moving With Our Parts."If you're new to IFS, or seasoned in the work, this episode is a great foundation on what it is, how it can help you become a better version of yourself, and how to bring some of those "parts" into your body and move with them to help them be accepted, expressed, and maybe even let their hold go a little bit, too.I hope this conversation offers you some glimpses into what's possible for you. Resources:Today's shownotes: Get links to Kristen's offerings + the books she mentionedGrab the free Womb Connection & Clearing guided practiceSign up for the waitlist for Natural Contraception the Herbal Way program!Episode 121: Healing heartbreak with IFS with Sara Avant StoverIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

So many of us quietly believe that permanent healing isn't possible — that we'll always feel “a little bit broken,” or that we'll have to keep managing the same patterns forever.But that's not true.Healing isn't meant to be a series of Band-Aids — a few therapy sessions here, a meditation retreat there, a burst of self-care when things get hard. Those things can help… but only for a while.Real, lasting healing begins when you stop patching symptoms and start addressing what's underneath — the parts of you that are protecting the wound, the nervous system patterns that keep looping, and the way those inner imbalances show up in your relationships.In this week's episode of Your Brain on Trauma, I'm sharing my No More Band-Aids model — a framework I use with my clients to help them access deep, permanent healing.You'll learn:Why temporary fixes can actually keep you stuckThe three ingredients that create real, lasting change: mind, body, and loveHow Internal Family Systems, polyvagal theory, and somatic work come together to rewire old trauma loopsWhy healing your inner world is the key to safe, authentic relationshipsTimestamps:02:16 “No More Band-Aids”: why quick fixes don't work06:29 The three ingredients of permanent healing (Mind–Body–Love)07:55 IFS explained: protectors, exiles & Self13:27 Nervous system work: polyvagal & somatic basics16:23 Relationships as a mirror; authentic communication20:46 Putting it together: the path to lasting changeIf you've been trying to “fix” yourself and wondering why it never lasts, this episode will show you what's been missing.Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

Welcome back! This week I sit down with Ryan Miller James to unpack his mission to equip 3,000,000 men to become all God created them to be—radically following Christ, showing up as exceptional husbands and fathers, and thriving in business. We dig into why digitized “self-help” left men lonelier than ever, how real change happens in community, and the power of identity (moving from “I'm an addict” to I'm recovered). We also get practical: group work vs. solo work, breaking chaos addiction as entrepreneurs, using parts work (IFS) to love the old versions of ourselves, and choosing a simpler, more sovereign “king” energy that puts faith, family, health before everything else.Key Highlights:- The 3M Mission: Ryan shares a God-given vision to impact 3,000,000 men—and what “equipped” actually looks like at home, at work, and in faith.- Why courses weren't enough: Post-2020, digitizing growth often amplified isolation. Men don't just need more content; they need brothers.- Identity vs labels: The danger of living as “I am an addict / adulterer / 7-figure entrepreneur.” How to anchor identity in Christ and move forward.- Recovered vs. in recovery: Language matters. We talk about the shift from carrying a permanent label to embodying a new life—with vigilance.- Chaos addiction for entrepreneurs: When things finally get peaceful, we self-sabotage. How to spot it, stop it, and build stability without drama.- Parts work (IFS) in practice: You won't outrun old versions of you. Learn to see, love, and integrate them so you can become whole.- The palm-tree posture: Build inner strength so external storms don't snap you—they bend around you.- From prince to king: Setting boundaries, saying no, elevating standards, and leading from a sovereign heart.- The power of going first: Vulnerability gives other men permission to tell the truth and heal.- Community beats secrecy: Men's groups, in-person reps, and why simply showing up breaks the lie that you're alone.You're not behind—you're becoming. Drop the lone-wolf act, pick up brotherhood, and let your identity lead your habits. If this episode hit home, share it with a friend who needs a nudge back into community.

Brad Adams — LAMPS (Los Angeles Psychedelic Society) joins Kyle to trace his path from PhD researcher to community builder. Brad shares how early work in AIDS, Alzheimer's, gerontology, and cancer research primed him to notice Harbor-UCLA's psilocybin pilot for stage-4 cancer patients with death anxiety—where the strongest mystical experiences correlated with profound death acceptance. Teaming with Dennis McKenna, he ran an ayahuasca pilot in Peru and presented findings at Psychedelic Science 2017. From there, Brad founded LAMPS: first as research meetups at UCLA, then as a thriving hub hosting speakers and, ultimately, an L.A. psychedelic conference. He previews the November 1 event at Above the Block in West L.A.: daytime panels on cannabis, preparation/integration, and music & psychedelics; a vendor hall; and a “Healing Lounge” with bodywork, astrology, human design, and more—closing with a late-night dance party featuring David Starfire. Brad offers grounded advice for starting local communities (begin small, meet regularly, curate safe dialogue, and moderate firmly), and reflects on platform friction around psychedelics. The conversation widens to DMTx (extended-state DMT), entity encounters, and what humble, relational curiosity can reveal—then to Wetiko, IFS, and the hero's journey as frames for keeping hope alive in turbulent times. A candid and practical tour of research, resilience, and real-world community building.

In this episode, I chat with Caitlan Siegenthaler, a Level 2 IFS licensed therapist and podcast host who specializes in IFS and Human Design. What I love about Caitlan's work is how she treats both frameworks as paths home to Self. She shares how Human Design entered her life and how she integrates it with IFS to help clients befriend their parts. She recently led a Human Design reading session with Dick Schwartz, founder of IFS.  In this conversation, we explore: How IFS and Human Design work together to help us return to our authentic Self How understanding your Human Design chart can help you connect with your internal system in a whole new way The five Human Design energy types and what they can teach us about our systems How Human Design mirrors IFS as a spiral — a way of returning, again and again, to Self Why curiosity matters more than mastery when exploring new systems We also recorded an extended interview with Caitlan for our paid Substack community about supervision and consultation — why it matters, how to find it, and how it helps therapists bring more of themselves into the room.  You can connecct with Caitlan at caitlansiegenthaler.com, listen to her Return podcast, and check out her free five-episode series on navigating indecision using Human Design and IFS.

How can Internal Family Systems help us prepare for, experience, and integrate psychedelic journeys in a truly Self-led way? And what if Self itself can be the journey, without medicine at all? In this episode, I talk with Nick Brüss, an IFS practitioner and licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in psychedelic-assisted therapy. What I loved about this conversation is how grounded and humble Nick is about the work. He reminds us that psychedelics can open the door, but Self is what does the healing.  Why listen: Many people are curious about how psychedelics and IFS intersect. This conversation goes deeper into integration, humility, and what it really means to let Self lead before, during, and after expanded states. In this conversation, we explore: How IFS can guide and ground psychedelic experiences through Self Energy Why integration, not the journey itself, is where true healing happens How to meet expanded states with curiosity, consent, and care for all parts How to partner with the medicine to turn toward what needs our attention, bringing the same kind of compassion and curiosity we bring to our parts The nervous system and trauma dynamics that often surface after psychedelic experiences How Self can open the same sense of connection and wonder that psychedelics reveal The risks of spiritual bypass and how to stay Self-led  What an ethical, Self-led approach to psychedelic healing looks like Favorite Quotes: “The real question is, are we partnering with the medicine, or are we giving it all the power?” — Nick Brüss “Psychedelics don't heal anyone. They open a window. What heals is the relationship with Self.” — Nick Brüss Connect with Nick at www.apracticeoffreedom.com Episode Sponsor Pisgah Coaching Institute: Founded by IFS-trained master coach Brian Jaudon, a pioneer in the integration of IFS and coaching for more than two decades.
