We are incredibly excited to welcome Dr. Richard Schwartz to the show to explore how his groundbreaking approach of Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help to build the Next Economy. 

Today’s conversation explores the basic concepts of IFS, how IFS plays out individually and systemically, how legacy burdens hold us back from the freedom of healing, how to find joy in every moment, and how to work with (and heal) the most traumatized parts of each of us. 

In the second half of the show, we get to see IFS in action as Dr. Schwartz takes our host, Ryan Honeyman through a live IFS session. Ryan works with the part of himself that sometimes doubts if the Next Economy is really possible. This session led to a breakthrough for Ryan--tune in to hear more!
