Hey you. We're glad you're here.

No matter how the Presidential election results impacted your system, we imagine it brought parts to the surface for you just like it did for us. We hope you can use today's episode to start to be curious about which of your parts may have been working in overdrive the past few days (weeks, months), and maybe even find a pathway to be with them.

When our external world becomes uncertain and shaky, there's hope (we think) in knowing that turning inward can give us access to at least a little bit more calm and grounding. When so much is out of our control, we can tend to the parts of us that so desperately need to feel that someone (you) will ride the waves with them no matter what.

Coming off an election and going into the holidays may feel overwhelming, intimidating, and exhausting. Listen along as we share some ways to connect inside, take care of your understandably activated parts, or even just survive. We're sending so much tender care and heartfelt self energy to our listeners who may be needing that right now.

Don't worry, we threw some laughs in there too if that's what your system needs right now instead.

We are back with the final episode (for now) of our "people who know more than us" series. Taking you out with an absolute bang (no pun in tended), we welcome the magnificent Patricia Rich!
Patricia is an LCSW, certified sex therapist, level 3 certified IFS therapist, CST supervisor, and a leader in the field of using the IFS framework to work with folx exploring their own sexuality.
Patricia shares her personal journey and what has drawn her to creating her own model: Sex-Led Sexuality. We learn about the basics of this evolving model, why it's important and supportive for clients, and some of the details of the model including the 6 S's of Self-Led Sexuality.
Listen along with us as we get a real time opportunity to tap into what this topic brings up for us, and Patricia encourages you, listener, to see what it brings up for you.

This exciting and engaging topic is sure to be as stimulating for you as it was for us ;). We are so grateful that Patricia lent us her time, knowledge, and beautiful self-energy and left us with more curiosity and interest that when we began.

You can learn all about Patricia and her work (including access to her free Six S's of Sexual Energy Graphic) at her website:
https://www.patriciarich.com

This will be the final episode for season 1 of Partsy Girls! We are taking the next few months to record some exciting new episodes with fresh topics and incredible guests. We'll be back before you know it with our new JINGLE, and more exploration of this model that is so important to both of us. We appreciate all of the support from our listeners during season 1 and can't wait for what's next. Byeeeeee!

Ever wondered how the heck to apply IFS to working with kids? Same!

In this week's episode of the "people who know more than us" series, we're honored to welcome Carmen Jiminez-Pride (pause here for applause). Carmen brings so much to the table it's hard to know where to start. Carmen is an LCSW, Registered Play Therapist, Sand Tray expert, IFS Institute trainer, entrepreneur, podcast host, author, product creator, and all around bad ass human! (That's the short list).

We were lucky enough to pick Carmen's brain in this episode, exploring the ways she integrates IFS, play therapy, and sand tray work in her therapeutic practice with children. She breaks down the differences and similarities in working with parts of children vs adults. She demonstrates how vital creativity is in working with youth. She also tells us what she'd say to parents who want to support their children in their mental health journey.

On top of all that goodness, Carmen shares what work she's done in her own system to become the business woman and therapist she is today, how she likes to get into self energy, and we learn a little about her makeup routine...

With so much gratitude we introduce you to the absolute force that is Carmen Jiminez-Pride, and hope you're as wowed as we were!

We are so excited to bring the first episode of our new series "people who know more than us" to you, and what a way to start.

With so much gratitude we welcome Diana Dugan Richards to our show. Diana is a registered and licensed dietician as well as an IFS certified practitioner. Diana works with clients in their relationship with food, body image, weight, and size, and creates a space where client's can be empowered to find their own philosophies around these topics. With specialties in binge eating, compulsive overeating, emotional eating, restriction and under eating, stress response eating, food anxiety, and food addiction, Diana brings so much wisdom to the way IFS can integrate in this field.

In this episode, we discuss the way parts show up to protect us in relation to food and body image. We explore the protectors that tend to come online and which exiles may be lying beneath. We discuss the ways traditional eating disorder treatment can be viewed as manager-led and the potential dangers of addressing food and bodies in that way. We also dive into the ways Diana has navigated her own system in order to create space for curiosity with clients and how that has led to her pioneering the work that combines nutrition counseling and IFS.

There is so much more we could say about what Diana brings to the community and the world, but we'll let her talk for herself; we know you'll love her as much as we do.

To learn more about the work Diana is doing or to get in touch with her, see below:

Diana's website can be found here: https://namastenutrition.net/
Her email is: dianaduganrichards@gmail.com
You can find her book and personal endorsements on her website along with other podcasts she has been featured on.
Diana, in collaboration with Jeanne Catanzaro also created a module for the IFSI Continuity Program in 2019 called "Self-Led Eating" which can be found on the IFSI website.

And just like that, we're back! We're so excited to bring you a jam-packed episode after our brief pause. In this episode, we use our own experiences of feeling disconnected to explore what disconnection even means through an IFS lens. What leads us to freeze? What are the warning signs in our system? And most importantly, how do we reconnect? Follow along as we share the ways our systems experience a "freeze" state and some of the ways we turn inward to get answers and connection. AND, at the end of the episode we introduce our new series (yay). For those of you who just join us for the gabs, don't worry! We also cover LIB, The Oscars, One Day, RHOSLC, sour candy, and more...
