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.
