Ready to ditch burnout and feel like yourself again? In Part 2 of our chat with Gabby Bernstein, we’re continuing to learn about the game-changing practice of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Gabby shares how to break free from the overworking, overgiving, and people-pleasing cycle that leaves so many of us running on empty—and it all starts with tuning in to your inner self.

Your past doesn’t define you—your healing does. Buckle up, Squad, you’re going to want to grab some tissues for this one.

Gabby opens up about her own healing journey, sharing how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helped her reconnect with her inner child and influenced her newest book, “Self Help: This is Your Chance to Change Your Life.” Through her practical four-step process, Gabby teaches us how to identify and reparent the wounded parts of ourselves, stop the cycle of self-criticism, step into true self-compassion, and even walks Maria through the process (bring on the tears). Whether you’re looking to deepen your self-awareness, heal emotional wounds, or simply find more ease in your day-to-day life, this episode offers the tools and inspiration to start the journey.

Hey Regular People, it’s a Lonely Guy ‘Post Christmas’ Friday. There are many means to end the year right. Which is best for you? Rest? Recover? Recalibrate? Reflect? Reorganize? Re-strategize? Or just enjoy family and friends. Why we get sick this time of year. What are first position conversations and why are they helpful? Why being sick puts you in first position and why if it doesn’t you’ll remain sick or worse. What is ‘covert narcissism’ and why the practice gives one carte blanche.
