What if your grief isn't just your own—but a wound passed down through generations? In this powerful episode, I speak with psychotherapist, author, and IFS lead trainer Tamala Floyd about the healing power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and ancestral wisdom.
Tamala breaks down how parts of ourselves—like the people-pleaser or the inner critic—form in response to trauma, and how they can be lovingly unburdened, not exiled. She also discusses how healing isn’t just personal—it’s generational.
You’ll Learn:
✅ What Internal Family Systems (IFS) is and how it works
✅ How trauma gets “stored” and passed through generations
✅ Why healing your “parts” can transform grief
✅ How your ancestors can become part of your healing team
✅ What “self-energy” is—and why it matters
✅ How stuck grief shows up in the body and nervous system
Whether you're grieving a loss, struggling with emotional triggers, or carrying burdens that feel older than you are—this episode is a must-listen.
