055: Becoming the Confident Leader of Your Internal Family with Gabriela Blanco (Inner Work Series No. 3)

How are you? I hope everything is going well with you. I know, as we do this Inner Work, we will be uncovering unpleasant feelings and memories from the past. But I do hope that YOU will not give up. I am here for you and we are all in this together. You don't have to go this alone, even within your own heart. You see, we all have multiple sides to ourselves, little sub-personalities that are all vying for attention and for the chance to "run the show". And they are all waiting for YOU, the real you, to step up and lead them with confidence. So, for this week, we will be meeting the different parts of ourselves so that we can become the confident leader of our internal family.​I'm so excited to bring in a guest expert on this topic. She's Gabriela Blanco who is a conscious parenting coach who works with parents who are intentionally healing as they parent. She provides tools and strategies to support them in leading their internal families so that they can show up better for themselves and their external families. Now, in this episode, we are going to talk about a mode of therapy that will help us understand what is going on inside ourselves, how we can do internal healing work that we need to show up as conscious, and whole parents for our kids.Follow Gabriela on Instagram to get regular prompts about IFS and the internal healing process.

Parenting is often lived in the extremes. It’s either great joy or chaotic overwhelm. One moment you’re nailing it and the next you’re losing your cool. I want to help you find your way to the messy middle, to a place of balance. You see, balance is a verb, not a state of being. It is a thing you DO, not a thing you ARE. It’s an action, a process, a series of micro-corrections that we make, each and every day, to keep ourselves feeling centered. We are never truly balanced, we are engaged in the process of balancing.Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Froyen, and this is the Balancing Parenting Podcast, where overwhelmed, stressed-out, and disconnected parents go to find tools, mindset shifts, and practices to help them stop yelling at the people they love and start connecting all delivered with heaping doses of grace and compassion. Join me in conversations that will help you get clear on your goals and values and start showing up in your parenting, your relationships, YOUR LIFE, with open-hearted authenticity and balance.
