In this week’s episode I interview
about Internal Family Systems (IFS). We discuss:What IFS is and how you can apply it to your life.
How to work with your managers, firefighters and exiles.
How Melissa uses her substack as an exploration of her Internal Family System.
I recently started using Internal Family Systems with some of my work and what I love about this interview is how Melissa shows us how IFS can help us heal the parts of ourselves that have been traumatized and in the process claim our lives on our terms.

Become the Leader of your Life
If you’re tired of suppressing your emotions, white-knuckling your way through life, or constantly bending to the will of others, this book is for you.
Does this sound familiar?
You feel disconnected from your partner.
You’re stuck in a mediocre job, dreaming of something more.
You numb yourself with porn, alcohol, or distractions.
You let others walk all over you.
You keep your heart walled off to protect yourself.
If you’re living a life that feels small, disconnected, and unfulfilled, it’s time to stop settling.
A Life of Purpose, Passion, and Power Awaits You
You deserve deep, meaningful relationships, work that excites and fulfills you, and the freedom to pursue the adventures that call to your soul.
But to claim that life, you need a code—a set of principles that shape your actions, sharpen your strength, and guide you toward sovereignty.
The Sovereign’s Code
This book is your roadmap to stepping into your power, purpose, and presence as a man. You’ll learn how to:
Lead yourself with unshakable confidence.
Earn the respect, love, and desire you crave.
Build a life of meaning, adventure, and deep connection.
Men are meant to be the kings of their own lives—but a king without a code is lost. The Sovereign’s Code will show you how to reclaim your throne.
