E207: Midlife Reinvention: How to Tame Your Inner Critic with Author Britt Frank


Listen Later

In this fun and frank conversation, I welcome back Britt Frank—licensed psychotherapist, speaker, and author of The Science of Stuck and her new book Align Your Mind: Tame Your Inner Critic, and Make Peace with Your Shadow Using the Power of Parts Work.

We explore the empowering intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and shadow work, reframing our inner critic as a misguided protector, not a predator. Britt offers brilliant insights on how parts work allows us to embrace the fullness of who we are—including our compulsive habits, younger selves, and the traits we’ve tried to exile.

Together, we dive into the potency of perimenopause and midlife as a rebirth—an invitation to reclaim our true essence and align with our deepest values. This conversation is a rallying cry to honor your wholeness, connect with your parts, and live from unapologetic authenticity.

 

What we explore:

  • Shadow work means reconnecting with everything that’s true about you—including your gifts.
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) is not separate from shadow work—it is shadow work in practice.
  • The inner critic can become your internal coach when you understand it’s trying to protect you.
  • Our compulsive behaviors are survival strategies, not character defects.
  • Reparenting your younger parts creates emotional momentum and deep healing.
  • Midlife is not a decline—it’s an initiation into your second becoming.
  • Self-worth does not kill ambition. In fact, the more full of self-love you are, the more you can create.
