If you’re curious about exploring this extraordinary state of consciousness, tune in to discover how lucid dreaming can unlock hidden layers of your mind and bring new dimensions to your journey toward self-discovery. > “ Lucid dreaming is a unique brain state where your dreaming mind is online.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is rapidly becoming a leading modality in the mental health field. IFS, also known as parts work, helps individuals heal their inner selves by recognizing and communicating with various parts of their psyche.  Today’s guest, Heather Smith, is a certified IFS therapist and consultant. Heather explains the philosophy behind IFS, distinguishing it from traditional talk therapy and illuminating its effectiveness in dealing with trauma.  She shares personal anecdotes of overcoming deep-seated fears through parts work. As a practitioner, she emphasizes the relational nature of IFS therapy and the importance of a genuine therapeutic bond for effective healing. IFS addresses the root causes of psychological issues. The modality helps you understand and transform the parts of your psyche that cause distress and eventually build a compassionate relationship with all of them. If you are searching for inner healing and lasting transformation, tune in to learn the impact that compassionate self-understanding can have on your journey toward authentic fulfillment. > “ The reason IFS is different than talk therapy is because we can actually identify to the core of where did the problem originally start and what was an inciting incident that we can now go back and begin to work with, not necessarily rewrite history, but to change our relationship with our history.” > - Heather Smith In This Episode: -The core philosophy of Internal Family Systems (IFS) -How IFS is different from talk therapy -The somatic aspect of IFS -The skepticism and science behind IFS -Why IFS is growing in popularity -Navigating the challenges of finding an IFS therapist -The significance of genuine therapeutic relationships -Personal anecdotes of transformation through parts work -Where to find IFS resources and courses for self-healing Resources Mentioned in the Episode: -Heather Smith's Moxie School - https://www.moxieschool.com/ [https://www.moxieschool.com/]  -Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Book “No Bad Parts” - https://a.co/d/0cCfNIQZ [https://a.co/d/0cCfNIQZ] -Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s Book “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” - https://a.co/d/02L6bGpl [https://a.co/d/02L6bGpl]  -IFS Institute Website -  https://ifs-institute.com/ [https://ifs-institute.com/]  Connect with Heather Smith:  Website [https://www.moxieschool.com/] - https://www.moxieschool.com/ [https://www.moxieschool.com/]  LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathersmithlpc] - https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathersmithlpc [https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathersmithlpc] Connect with Nik Tarascio: Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/niktarascio/]-  https://www.instagram.com/niktarascio/ [https://www.instagram.com/niktarascio/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/ntarascio]- https://www.facebook.com/ntarascio [https://www.facebook.com/ntarascio] LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/niktarascio/]- https://www.linkedin.com/in/niktarascio/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/niktarascio/] YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/@ntarascio]- www.youtube.com/@ntarascio [http://www.youtube.com/@ntarascio] Website [https://the-dream-beyond.my.canva.site/] - https://the-dream-beyond.my.canva.site/ [https://the-dream-beyond.my.canva.site/] Tumblr [https://www.tumblr.com/the-dream-beyond] - https://www.tumblr.com/the-dream-beyond [https://www.tumblr.com/the-dream-beyond]

Scaling an organization requires leaders to master delegating and leading with trust. However, despite the abundance of tools and techniques available, effective delegation remains an elusive skill for many. The root cause lies in deep-seated mindsets that hinder our ability to delegate successfully.   Today’s guest, Dave Kerpen, draws from his entrepreneurial experiences and insights in his latest book to shed light on the necessary mindset shifts for overcoming the emotional barriers to effective delegation. Dave is a renowned serial entrepreneur, co-founder and co-CEO of Apprentice, global keynote speaker, and New York Times bestselling author. He identifies fear, distrust, the need for control, and the pursuit of perfection as the common obstacles to delegation. In addition, he recommends self-awareness, self-improvement, and courage to overcome deep-rooted fears and trust issues. Dave underscores the significance of vulnerable leadership and the power of delegating outcomes rather than tasks in fostering organizational growth. Additionally, he highlights the broader implications of effective delegation in both professional and personal spheres. If you are ready to level up your delegation skills and scale your business, this episode is for you. Tune in! > “Delegation is a really big problem, and the problem isn't that people don't know the tools and systems. The problem is that we are stuck in our own heads, and we can't get over ourselves. Specifically, we are afraid, and we are distrustful" > > > - Dave Kerpen.
