The thing is, we don't want any one of our parts to be driving our emotional bus.""These parts come up to protect us. But in essence, as we grow and change, they're stuck in our three or four year old body. They don't move along with us until we can get to know them, befriend them, and update them into 2025."About the guest:  Jacqui Stilling is a therapist and founder of The Both And Way, a business offering coaching and retreats focused on Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy—also known as parts work.

    How To Use Spontaneity As A Tool For Getting Unstuck

    In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Valerie McTavish, a business coach, growth activator, and spontaneity expert, to explore how spontaneity skills can help us get unstuck. During their conversation, they dive into the misconceptions around spontaneity (hint: it’s not a personality trait!), the powerful benefits of breaking out of rigid patterns (including for getting unstuck!), and practical ways to incorporate more spontaneity into our daily lives—even if you consider yourself far from spontaneous. Tune in to learn about: Why spontaneity is a skill that can be developed—and how to develop itHow practicing spontaneity helps us access our creative brain and break free from rigid thinkingHow spontaneity can transform your ability to navigate unexpected challengesSimple exercises to build your "spontaneity muscle" Thoughts from the episode: "It's not really about being that spontaneous person. It's more about having the ability to tap into spontaneity.""When things go awry—not if, but when—you need to be able to think on your feet. You need to be able to figure out, ‘Okay, then what?’”"It's not about replacing your planned life. It's about being intentional with training for spontaneity for the times when the plan actually falls apart."About the guest:  Valerie McTavish is a business coach, growth activator, and spontaneity expert. Her journey with spontaneity began when she and her husband flipped a coin to decide where to go on a camping trip, which sparked joy and freedom that transformed their relationship. As a former television producer who was used to planning things down to the millisecond, Valerie discovered that spontaneity provided a perfect balance to her structured work life. Through her research and experience, she has developed tools and practices to help people incorporate spontaneity skills into their lives to overcome stuckness, anxiety, and rigid thinking patterns.
