YOUNGER YOU

The Karen Kenney Show

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I tell a story about how I often talk about “Today me, thanking ‘younger me’ – for decisions that I’ve made.”

Which led me to discussing the powerful process created by Richard Schwartz - called Internal Family Systems (IFS) – also known as “Parts work.”

I share how it’s so important for us to have self-compassion when reflecting on our younger selves.

I also dive deeper into the different categories of our various “Parts”, why they often get created, and removing the blocks and barriers that prevent us from accessing our true “capital S” Self.

I also highlight the significance of the true Self and break down the eight qualities it embodies, like curiosity, calm, clarity, courage and more!

By applying these IFS principles, we can cultivate a deeper understanding and acceptance of our past selves.

This self-compassion can then empower us to integrate those younger parts and move forward with more wholeness and self-love. It's a powerful process of inner healing and growth.

If you want to learn more about how to better understand and compassionately engage with the younger you – whether that was the you from 20 minutes or 20 years ago – this episode is for you!
