In this heartful and energizing conversation, we sit down with the incredible Natalie Deering—therapist, podcast host, IFS practitioner, and authenticity advocate—to explore the beautiful intersections between healing, creativity, and connection.
Natalie shares the story of how she first discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and how it’s become not just a modality but a life practice. We also dive into what inspired her to launch her own podcast, That Wellness Podcast with Natalie Deering, and how stepping into that space has allowed her to embrace vulnerability, creativity, and impact in new ways.
Together, we explore the metaphor of mountain climbing to describe the IFS journey: how each part of us is like a climber trying to ascend, and Self-energy serves as both the rope and the steady presence that anchors and guides the climb. As Natalie puts it, “It’s not just about getting to the top of the mountain. It’s the journey.”
We also talk about Natalie’s current writing project—a forthcoming book that weaves together our nervous systems, and IFS to better understand anxiety-and her personal journey through this. Her vision is to offer readers a compassionate, integrative framework that helps them befriend their anxious parts and move toward greater safety and connection in their bodies and lives.
Whether you're a therapist, creative, or just someone walking your own healing path, you’ll find inspiration in how Natalie approaches life and work with openness, grounded care, and humor.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
