Awaken to Love, True and Presence

from The Empowered Through Compassion Podcast · host David Polidi

This heart-warming episode begins with Laura sharing a tender story about baking bread—and from there, we journey into the rich, soulful themes of her new book. We explore Internal Family Systems (IFS), the sacred essence of everyday life, and the profound connection between healing trauma, cultivating presence, and embodying wholeness. Together, we reflect on the beauty and challenge of truly being with our emotions and honoring the full range of the human experience. As Laura so beautifully says, “Our guides are so proud of us for choosing this experience.” Whether you’re a seeker, a therapist, or simply curious about the intersection of psychology and spirituality, I’m so glad you’re here. This was a joy-filled, meaningful conversation—and I can’t wait to share it with you. You can learn more about Laura Patryas, PhD and her work at drlaurapatryas.org. 📘 Check out her books: Awaken to Love: Reclaiming Wholeness through IFS, Nonduality, and Psychosynthesis The 8 Superpowers Inside Me: A Journey Through Feelings and Inner Parts 🌱 Join the IFS Nondual Community on Facebook 🌀 Explore the IFS Unconference
