As parents, we are often the first architects of our children's internal systems. On this episode of The Way Back In, we explore the ethics and psychology of raising the next generation through the lens of Self-leadership.

My sister and I discuss the responsibility—and the relief—of parenting. We explore how to move away from traditional "top-down" parenting and toward a model of consent, curiosity, and clarity.

Key Topics:

• Navigating the tension between social conditioning and authentic self-expression.

• Helping our children individuate and communicate.

• Why the most important parenting work happens inside the parent, not the child.

In this episode of The Way Back In, we’re pulling back the curtain on what "parts work" actually looks like in practice. We often approach healing with the goal of becoming a "perfected" version of ourselves, but Internal Family Systems (IFS) isn't about fixing what's broken—it’s about gaining the clarity to see who is already there.

Join us for a unique, raw episode where my sister facilitates a live IFS session with me. We move past the theory and into the internal world, exploring:

• Why the pursuit of "perfection" is often just another part trying to keep us safe.

• How to differentiate between the "Self" and the parts that want to take the lead.

• The transformative power of bringing clarity and compassion to our internal system.

Whether you're new to IFS or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers a firsthand look at the messy, beautiful process of unlearning and coming home to yourself.
