Join us at Ängsbacka to be part of Morgan's conversation with Daniel Radish.

If you've ever felt like there are different parts of you pulling in opposite directions—one part wanting to take a leap, another part full of fear—you’re not alone. And that’s exactly what Internal Family Systems is all about: understanding the many voices within us, and learning how to lead ourselves with compassion, clarity, and courage.

Today’s guest is Daniel Rashid, an IFS coach who works with individuals to help them reconnect with their inner wisdom and bring harmony to the parts that feel wounded, reactive, or stuck. We discuss what IFS is, how it differs from traditional therapy, and how anyone—yes, anyone—can start practicing this work in everyday life.
