About this listen

Do you resonate with the idea of being a system of many different parts or subpersonalities that have different hopes and agendas for you, rather than feeling like one fixed personality? And perhaps you know deep down that your deepest authentic Self is already healed and whole, even if it most days it doesn’t really feel like that? Same! This is the understanding of the Internal Family Systems model — created by Richard Schwartz. This podcast is a celebration of what it is like to live as a system of parts, learning to be more Self Led. We welcome all your parts to this ’Parts Party’ with Adriana and Ella, therapists and IFS enthusiasts, as they discuss the lived experience of the Internal Family Systems.

  • IFS Meditation: Working with Shaming Protectors with Stephanie Mitchell
    Oct 9 2025

    This meditation is an invitation to hear from parts of your system that use shaming. (While also giving full permission to instead stay with parts that are not ready to get to know the shaming part/s, if that is what is needed.) A lovely opportunity to experience some IFS, led with much Self Energy by the wonderful Stephanie Mitchell.

    Stephanie is offering a 'Shame Sanctuary' retreat in QLD Australia for those who are called to join (therapists and others welcome).

  • E12. Parts Party with Stephanie Mitchell
    Oct 9 2025

    Stephanie Mitchell is a Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist working in private practice on the Sunshine Coast. She specialises in working with adults who have experienced labels of early developmental trauma, BPD and psychosis and is currently undertaking research on IFS and psychosis, in a collaboration between the University California San Francisco and Flinders Uni.

    This episode is a wonderful opportunity to hear about what IFS therapy can be like from the client perspective- over many years of sessions, as Stephanie generously introduces us to some of her parts, and how they have evolved and unburdened with the support of her IFS therapist.

    Stephanie is offering a 'Shame Sanctuary' retreat for those who are called (therapists and others welcome), and this episode explores some of the burdens and complexities of shame from the perspective of parts and Self.
