In this episode of Beauty in the Break, Foster and Cesar bring you 12 unforgettable therapy lessons that reshaped their lives. Drawing from years of individual therapy, couples therapy, Jungian analysis, and parts work, they share tangible wisdom that listeners can apply to their own healing and communication journeys. Whether you’re navigating family dynamics, learning to self-regulate, or trying to let go of old stories, this episode is full of relatable and transformative moments.
They also discuss powerful therapeutic tools like Internal Family Systems (IFS), the importance of repair in relationships, and how to show up truthfully without controlling the outcome. If you’re craving real talk about mental health, personal responsibility, emotional intelligence, and how to actually change, this episode is one to bookmark and revisit.
In this episode they explore:
- The parenting mindset shift that changes everything after a mistake
- What to do instead of chasing “balance” — and why it rarely works
- A surprising truth about how you judge others (and what it says about you)
- The communication formula that protects relationships from resentment
- The healing magic of writing — and the 5-day practice that builds confidence
- Why trying to “be right” might be making you miserable
- How to work with your inner child using IFS-style parts work
Cesar mentions his accident, which is detailed in Cesar’s Accident: The Scars of Rebirth.
