  • "Understanding Your Inner World: Self-Compassion & Parts Work" with Amber Masselot

    "Understanding Your Inner World: Self-Compassion & Parts Work" with Amber Masselot
    Mar 20 2025
    What if you're not actually getting in your own way? What if the parts of you that seem to hold you back are actually trying to protect you? In this episode, I talk with licensed marriage and family therapist Amber Masselot to explore Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful approach to self-awareness and healing. Amber shares how recognizing and working with our different “parts” can help us navigate self-doubt, perfectionism, and emotional struggles with more compassion.
    We discuss how our protective parts develop, why they sometimes create self-sabotage, and how reconnecting with our true “Self” can help us move through challenges with clarity and confidence. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm, this conversation will give you new insights into why—and how to move forward with kindness toward yourself.

    Questions to consider:
    • What’s one area of your life where you feel “stuck”? Could a protective part be at play?
    • How might self-compassion shift the way you approach your challenges?
    • What would it look like to reconnect with your true Self and create inner alignment?

  • "Quieting Your Inner Critic" with Terri Hayes

    "Quieting Your Inner Critic" with Terri Hayes
    Mar 6 2025
    Does perfectionism keep you stuck, second-guessing yourself, or afraid to take action? In this episode, I talk with life coach Terri Hayes to explore how perfectionism shows up in our lives—through fear, an overactive inner critic, and suppressing emotions—and how we can break free. Terri shares her journey of shifting from self-judgment to self-acceptance, learning to process emotions instead of avoiding them, and embracing imperfect action to create real momentum.

    We also discuss the surprising truth about belonging, why trying to “fit in” actually keeps us disconnected, and how small mindset shifts can lead to major breakthroughs. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like you’re never doing enough, this conversation will help you reframe your inner dialogue and step into a more compassionate, empowered version of yourself.

    Some questions to consider:
    • Where is perfectionism holding you back from taking action in your life?
    • What’s one way you can show yourself more self-acceptance this week?
    • How would your life change if you became your own best friend instead of your own biggest critic?

  • "Breaking Free from Perfectionism" with Ming Chen

    "Breaking Free from Perfectionism" with Ming Chen
    Jan 16 2025
    Have you ever felt like perfectionism is both your superpower and your biggest obstacle? Sometimes our lives look “perfect” from the outside–we have a level of success in our career, we have the home, car, clothes, luxurious vacations, and we can buy what we want. But at what cost to us on the inside? In this episode, Ming Chen (Executive Leadership and Career Pivot Coach), shares how she got out of her own way by learning how to break free from the limiting beliefs of perfectionism. We explore how perfectionism showed up for her in her leadership roles, how her experience as an immigrant fueled a relentless pursuit of excellence, and the hidden costs of striving for perfection: burnout, resentment, and ultimately, living a life that felt smaller than it should.
    We discuss what overcoming perfectionism looks like and the freedom it creates—freedom to take risks, embrace mistakes, and live with self-compassion, authenticity, and purpose. If perfectionism has ever left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re chasing a never-ending goalpost, this episode is for you.
