Episode 111. I just loved this conversation with Natalie Deering. Natalie is the host of the podcast That Wellness Podcast which is a podcast she started in February 2023 and she’s already had some incredible guests including Dr. Richards Schwartz, Dr. Frank Anderson, and many others.

We had a great conversation about many things, but Natalie really does a great job breaking down 3 different ways to connect with Parts of you, and how to do it, with some tangible next steps and resources.

I also found it fascinating the ways she’s decided what to focus on in her business, so make sure you listen closely to that part.

In this episode, we cover:

• Natalie’s journey as a therapist, how she came to IFS, and her process with deciding to start her amazing podcast, That Wellness Podcast where she’s invited guests like Dr. Richard Schwartz, Dr. Frank Anderson and many more!
  
• What she loves most about her podcast
  
• How she decided to have a podcast first, versus focusing on some of the other ideas she had for work outside of 1 to 1 therapy (e.g., retreats, workshops, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy)
  
• 3 different ways to connect with Parts with different types of meditation (including Natalie’s free walking path meditation linked here)
  
• How she helped shift her therapy note writing from a should to a choose to
