Calling all parts! This episode we finally get to introduce you to one of the foundational pillars of the in the BecomeOne house. Over a decade ago, during a yoga class, Jody encountered IFS, which resonated deeply with her past of complex traumas.

Throughout this episode, Jody breaks down the principles of IFS therapy, underscoring the importance of forging relationships with all parts of oneself. We navigate through the complex web of proactive managers and reactive firefighters within our internal systems. Jody eloquently shares how these survival mechanisms are not personal failings but essential parts of our psyche. By integrating IFS and yoga, she demonstrates how acknowledging and conversing with our emotions can lead to profound relief and understanding.
In our conversation, we delve into the broader themes of self-acceptance and the necessity of professional guidance in this journey. Jody touches on the interplay between spirituality, religion, and self-awareness, drawing wisdom from sources like the Bhagavad Gita and Buddhism. She emphasizes the need to move beyond shame and guilt to live a more inspired life. With insights from thought leaders like Dick Schwartz, this episode offers a compassionate and intricate approach to understanding and integrating our inner parts for a more mindful and enlightened existence.
