If you’ve ever felt pulled in different directions internally—this episode will help you make sense of it. In this episode, you’ll learn: How your mind functions as an internal system The difference between Self, Managers, Firefighters, and Exiles Why parts like the inner critic, procrastinator, avoider, and people-pleaser exist How protective parts are actually trying to help you Why healing begins when the Self leads the system We also connect this model to a deeper, faith-centered understanding of the inner life—where healing begins not by fighting yourself, but by understanding what’s happening inside.
