## Resource

On today's episode I welcome my friend David Stern to the podcast . This conversation feels so perfect right now. It's full of the kind of hope we all need . David has this beautiful way of seeing the spiritual dimension in everything we do . David calls us to remember our "Pure Soul" —the part of us that is already peaceful and cannot be destroyed . He talks about parts as "angels in disguise," the ones inside that have taken on difficult roles to protect that inner light . If you're looking for a way to stay connected to yourself in a chaotic world, this episode is a sacred reminder that your essence is always already okay . We Explore: Why David looks for the unbridled aliveness in every person he meets . Reimagining our parts as refractions of a primal, divine intelligence . How to hold the "horrors" of the world while still choosing to love our people and stay present . Practicing "remembrance" to help shift out of the noise and back into your heart . About David David Stern, Psy.D. is a licensed psycholgoist, certified IFS consultant, dedicated teacher, and the creator of the Thinking Heart IFS Intensive . He also co-founded IFS Healers , an online Community of Practice designed to foster connection, deepen learning, and build community among IFS practitioners.
