    168. Treating Your Parts Like People: A Simple Exercise to Access Clarity and Calm

    Have you ever felt like there's a committee of conflicting voices in your head, each pulling you in different directions? In this episode, I explore a deceptively simple yet powerful approach: treating the different parts of your mind as if they were actual people.    I share a practical pen-and-paper exercise that helps externalize what's swirling in your mind, giving you perspective on your inner landscape. This approach, rooted in Internal Family Systems, isn't about creating multiple personalities—it's about understanding why you do what you do so you can respond intentionally rather than react automatically. By treating your parts like people, you create space for compassion and tap into the wise core of who you are beneath all the mental noise.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/168

    167. The Unburdened System: Healing the Root Causes of Your Habits

    Have you ever wondered what's actually holding you back from changing your most frustrating habits? As a natural problem-solver and detective at heart, I've discovered that our most persistent habits aren't just behaviors to be modified, they're symptoms of deeper burdens our internal parts are carrying.   Today, I'm sharing a powerful framework that offers genuine hope for lasting change. The concept of the Unburdened System, beautifully illustrated by Mariel Pastor, provides a north star for what's possible when we heal the root causes of our habits. This isn't about quick fixes or surface-level strategies—it's about understanding how our internal parts can transform when freed from the emotional burdens they've been carrying.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here:https://habitsonpurpose.com/167

    166. Trying to Fix your Feelings? Why That Backfires (& What to Do Instead)

    Have you ever felt something uncomfortable and immediately wanted to make it go away? I know that feeling all too well. When discomfort arises—whether it's anxiety, shame, or frustration—my first instinct is to fix it as quickly as possible. It's like having a reflex that kicks in before I can even think about it.   In today's episode, I explore why this fixing reflex, though completely natural, often backfires. When we rush to fix our uncomfortable emotions, we're actually extending their stay. I'll walk you through practical ways to access curiosity even when it feels impossible, and why having the courage to drop the fight against your feelings is ultimately less exhausting than continuing to resist them.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/166

    165. What to Do When You’re Completely Stuck: PACE Yourself

    Have you ever felt so stuck that you don't know which way is up or down? That disorienting feeling where you're bewildered about how to take even the first step forward? It's a frustrating place to be, cycling through thoughts of "I have no clue what to do" while flitting between half-completed tasks instead of tackling what truly matters.   In today's episode, I'm offering you a lifeline for those moments when you feel hopelessly stuck. I'll share why we get stuck in the first place, what might be happening beneath the surface, and most importantly, a practical "cheat sheet" you can use immediately to start finding your way forward. This simple acronym—PACE—will give you concrete steps to take when you feel like there's no clear path ahead.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/165

    164. Who’s at the Wheel? From the Driver’s Seat to the Back Row - An Analogy to Better Understand Why You Do What You Do

    Have you ever felt like different parts of your personality are in conflict, pulling you in opposite directions? Inside each of us exists a complex system of thoughts, emotions, and impulses that can sometimes feel like a crowded vehicle with multiple drivers trying to take the wheel.   In this episode, I explore a simple yet powerful analogy using Internal Family Systems (IFS) that compares our mind to a passenger van filled with different aspects of our personality. This comparison helps explain why we sometimes act in ways that surprise us, feel conflicting emotions simultaneously, or struggle to break free from stubborn habits.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/164

    163. How to Change Deeply Ingrained Habits Using IFS

    Why do we keep repeating habits, even when we desperately want to stop? If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Why can’t I just have more willpower?” when trying to change a deeply ingrained behavior, there’s a deeper reason behind it. Breaking old habits isn’t about willpower, it’s about understanding why they exist in the first place.   In today's episode, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore the fundamental reasons why we repeat habits, even when they no longer serve us. If you're ready to get to the heart of what's really driving your habits, keep listening.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/163
