True You Podcast is all about reconnecting with your authentic self—the version of you that’s in flow, where life feels effortless and aligned. In moments of struggle, when everything feels like an uphill battle, it's a sign you've lost touch with your true self. Through deep conversations and personal insights, we explore what it takes to stay in alignment, create harmony, and live as the true you—most of the time, not just by accident.

    Episode 4: The Best Difficult Life We Can Have

    In this episode, hosts Bill and Marty reflect on the journey of creating the podcast and its evolving identity. They explore the concept of the brain's efficiency in forming habitual thought grooves and the conscious effort required to shift these patterns. They discuss the ethical dimensions of communication and the importance of taking responsibility for one’s thoughts and words. The conversation shifts towards understanding and working through entrenched negative beliefs, the role of parts work in internal family systems (IFS) therapy, and the process of updating these beliefs. By fostering a friendship with the mind, the hosts emphasize the significance of appreciating one's mental processes and how embracing new habits can lead to a fulfilling life transformation. 00:00 Introduction to the True You Podcast01:06 The Brain's Efficiency and Habit Formation02:14 Ethics and Responsibility in Communication03:45 The Power of Thought and Behavior Habits05:10 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Authenticity09:50 Creating Structures for New Habits16:07 Exploring Self-Energy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)18:32 Understanding and Healing Trauma20:53 Understanding Parts Work and Beliefs21:29 Asking the Right Questions22:27 Revealing and Addressing Core Beliefs23:47 Timing and Respect in Parts Work25:53 Client Experiences and Shifting Beliefs31:35 Renegotiating Roles for Unburdened Parts33:43 Wrapping Up and Future Topics Links and Resources: • Contact Marty - mkettelhut@msn.com• Contact Bill - bill@billtierneycoaching.com• True You Podcast Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/trueyoupodcast• Would you like to be a guest on our podcast?
