On today's podcast we celebrate 200 episodes of The One Inside!

I take the guest's seat as my podcasting partner and co-producer, Jeff Schrum, leads the interview. We reflect on six seasons of guests, the show's impact on my life and work with clients, and why unblending is the real magic of IFS. We also dive into creative projects on the horizon, including my new mini-book on numbness and launching The One Inside Substack community.

Key Takeaways:

• Jeff and I talk about the fun behind the scenes of finding guests, editing interviews, creating show notes and graphics, and releasing an episode.

• My favorite part of the IFS model, and how I use it in my daily life.

• How six years of hosting this podcast has shaped not just my work, but my personal life and how I relate to my own parts.

• "Unblending is the hard part." We get into why unblending is the heart of the IFS model, and how simply creating space between parts can be transformational.

• My controversial opinion on unburdenings.

• "There are a million reasons not to do the thing." We talk about parts that hold us back from starting creative projects—whether it's a podcast, book, or blog—and how to work with them.

• My likes and dislikes...like how I like unblending, and how I dislike when my parts won't unblend. See also: maple syrup, apple cider, and movie theater popcorn.

• "If I waited every other week to meet with my IFS therapist, IFS wouldn't be in my bones. You have to be doing this every day. Even if it's just small moments of awareness. That's the work."

This episode is full of laughs, reflection, and some behind-the-scenes stories you haven't heard before. I hope you enjoy it!
