On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I'm exploring what it means to “talk to younger you” - by looking 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 and Self-Leadership (like curiosity, compassion, confidence, and calm) and why naming and befriending your parts can be fun and healing!

Plus, 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. ❤️
