TALKING TO YOUNGER YOU

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I​'m exploring ​​what it means to “talk​ to younger you” ​- by ​l​ooking through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and “parts work”. (#notatherapist)I also ​tell a story about a middle-of-the-night moment where I woke up ​heard myself say, “I’ve got you,” ​several times and how that ​sparked a deeper conversation about exiles, protectors (managers + firefighters), and our capital-S Self​!I ​share a little bit about the 8 C’s of Self ​a​nd Self-Leadership (like curiosity, compassion, confidence, and calm)​ and why naming and befriending your parts can be ​f​un and healing​!P​lus, I give you a couple of simple ways to start reassuring your nervous system​... from bedtime rituals to inner-child check-ins​, so you can move through the world with more self-awareness, tenderness, and love.KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She’s known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self​-development, and transformational change work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using a variety of practical tools, personal stories, and universal principles.She's been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, the creator of WRITE CLUB , and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1-to-1 program: THE QUEST and in her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.
