Episode 17: Waking Up

In this episode, Bill and Marty unpack what it means to be Self-led as a person, a business, and even a society. They explore how trauma shapes our inner parts, how self-awareness begins, and why lasting recovery is about healing what's underneath addiction. Bill shares his personal experience with 12-step recovery, the shift that happened through Byron Katie's work, and the journey from doing his best to simply being his best. It's a thoughtful and honest conversation about inner change, leadership, and how real transformation starts within.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to the True You Podcast00:28 Diving into Today's Topic01:08 Visionary Thinkers and Their Influence04:10 Understanding Self-Led vs. Parts-Led09:27 Exploring the Concept of Self19:03 Personal Experiences and Reflections21:13 The Path to a Self-Led Society23:59 Exploring Self-Led Companies24:16 Qualities of a Self-Led Company24:51 Compassion and Capacity in Leadership25:37 Curiosity and Courage in the Workplace26:47 Understanding the Concept of Self29:26 Addiction and Recovery Insights33:23 Personal Journeys to Self-Awareness34:51 The Role of Self-Awareness in Leadership38:03 Divine Guidance and Self-Discovery42:50 Effort vs. Being in Self-Led Lives44:00 Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpLinks and Resources:• True You Podcast Facebook Page - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/trueyoupodcast⁠⁠⁠ • If you would like to be a guest on the True You podcast, please complete this guest application: ⁠⁠⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbHITeLbAD98TRhFPZzK2kStuHos5HFjOGBWAaTJjgVcEAGA/viewform⁠⁠⁠  • Internal Family Systems - ⁠⁠⁠https://ifs-institute.com/⁠⁠⁠ • Compassionate Results Coaching - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/⁠⁠⁠ • Bill’s book, ‘Compassionate Results Guidebook’ - ⁠⁠⁠https://compassionateresultsguidebook.com⁠⁠⁠ • ‘Listening is the Key', Dr. Kettelhut’s website - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.listeningisthekey.com/⁠⁠⁠ • Marty’s new book, ‘Leadership as Relation’ - ⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3KKkCZO⁠⁠⁠ • Marty’s earlier book, ‘Listen… Till You Disappear’ - ⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3XmoiZd⁠⁠⁠ • Parts Work Practice - Free IFS Practice Group Sessions - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.partsworkpractice.com⁠⁠⁠ • Contact Marty - ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠• Contact Bill - ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠🔗 Compassionate Results Coaching links: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/links⁠⁠⁠➡️ To learn more about the Internal Family Systems Model, visit ⁠⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/about-ifs⁠⁠⁠ ➡️Join the Parts Work Practice Facebook group: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/partsworkpractice⁠⁠⁠🔗 Parts Work Practice page: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.partsworkpractice.com/⁠⁠⁠📖 Get the Compassionate Results Guidebook here: ⁠⁠⁠http://compassionateresultsguidebook.com/⁠⁠⁠➡️Attend IFS Coaching Groups: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/coaching-groups⁠⁠⁠📞Take the Coaching Readiness Assessment, go to ⁠⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/contact⁠⁠⁠🎙️Listen to True You Podcast at ⁠⁠⁠https://trueyoupodcast.com⁠⁠⁠ available on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube! #recovery #ifs #internalfamilysystems #ifscoach #ifscoaching #ifsmodel #partswork #partsworkcoach #podcast #ifspodcast #selfhelf #selfimprovement #leadership #richardschwartz #groupcoaching #ifsgroups #compassionateresults
