    "There was relief, but there was also at that point in my time, I don't like to admit it, but there was anger, and in that exact moment, I very much was blaming the other person from the marriage. And so there was blame as well. It was definitely not my highest self."

                    “This chapter of my life was not a midlife crisis. For me, midlife is an unraveling. And, what I’ve learned over the last couple of years is that unraveling is about fulfilling a longing for more self-acceptance and more self-love.”

                    In this solo episode, Fiona Walsh opens up about her transformative journey into Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a practice that helped her reconnect with herself and release limiting beliefs rooted in perfectionism and people-pleasing. It all began with a retreat in Tulum that sparked a process of unraveling, leading to deeper self-compassion, clarity, and alignment with her true self.

                        “The story that kept playing was that I needed to be the caretaker for people, that I was responsible for their emotions, for their happiness, and for the outcome of what their life looked like, and that I needed to be there to pick them up.”

                              “One of my party tricks, or superpowers, I thought, was that I'm a tiny person who can drink a lot. So it was actually part of me being proud of how much I could drink. Looking back, I think even after just one or two glasses, I had no idea the effect those glasses had on my behavior.”

                                  “I am going to do something for me! I'm going to do something that feels aligned with who I am… And as scary as that felt and sounded, it was the first time that I had full conviction that I couldn't do this, play this game anymore. And that I had to look out for myself.”

                                  In this episode, Julia opens up about how being laid off multiple times forced her to confront a lifelong pattern of people pleasing and seeking external validation. Realizing that her corporate career wasn’t aligned with her true self, she secretly launched a podcast, eventually embracing her purpose and finding fulfillment through the power of manifestation. Julia’s story is one of self discovery, choosing herself, and breaking free from societal expectations. She also shares how her journey of healing impacts how she raises her children, helping them break cycles of external validation and encouraging them to follow their own joy.

I was a very successful businesswoman with a senior executive career. At home, I was living with this growing, escalating violence, which was so incongruent with my work persona.”
