Ever feel like different versions of you are steering the wheel at once? We dive into Internal Family Systems as a clear, compassionate way to understand those inner voices—your managers who keep things tidy, the firefighters who rush in to stop pain fast, and the exiles who carry old wounds you’ve been trying not to feel. With Jen, Ang, and Tam at the table, we map how Self with a capital S shows up calm, curious, and confident, and how that Self can lead your inner team without forcing anything or pushing parts away.
We unpack how spiritual awakenings in midlife often rile up protectors, why that’s a sign of change rather than failure, and how to respond with patience instead of panic. You’ll hear vivid examples: a “Cinderella” manager sweeping anger into tidy closets, a motorcycle-riding firefighter who neutralizes threats at all costs, and a childhood “humor” protector who kept rooms safe by lightening the mood. Step by step, we walk through the six F’s for meeting a part, the art of unblending when strong emotions surge, and what it looks like to befriend, retrieve, and unburden the younger versions of you who still wait in old inner rooms.
If you’re curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy, we also share why IFS has become a core tool for preparation and integration, giving you a grounded map for expanded states. If this journey resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what part are you most ready to meet?
Tammi Janel is an intuitive healer and has been working in the healing arts for over 30 years and has a profound understanding of the consequences of being disconnected from ourselves and its impact on our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. She recently developed a unique 7 step method for Soul-led Living called The Devoted Soul Method where she offers immersive group retreats and individual coaching.
Angela DeCraene is a trained psychotherapist currently completing her doctorate in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology, she's also researching the healing potential of psychedelic medicines.Her passion lies in helping people not just have transformative experiences, but meaningfully integrate those insights.
Tam and Ang are two psychedelic integration specialists whose distinct worlds — psychic healing, mediumship, and the translation and stewardship of souls' stories on one hand, and clinical psychology, transpersonal research, and attachment-informed healing on the other — converge to offer something genuinely rare in the landscape of expanded states work. Sharing a deep commitment to the preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences, they bring a unique dual lens approach that honors the full dimensionality of these profound journeys — ensuring that every stage of the experience, from preparation through integration, is held with complementary perspectives working in concert. At the heart of their work is a profound belief that every person deserves to live an exceptional human experience — and that with the right support, the transformation made possible through expanded states can become the foundation for exactly that. They believe that the most transformative support comes from multiple directions at once — where soul wisdom and clinical rigor, story and structure, the seen and the unseen, are all welcomed in.
