In this episode I sit down with Heather Smith—Certified IFS therapist and founder of The Moxie School®—to explore the profound intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and psychedelic-assisted healing.

Heather shares her deeply personal path into both IFS and psychedelics, sparked by a lifelong inquiry: How do people truly heal? Together, we dive into the ways psychedelic experiences can deepen parts work, the essential role of Self-energy in lasting transformation, and why healing doesn’t come from the medicine—but from within.

We Explore:

• Heather’s journey into IFS and expanded states of consciousness

• The deep synergy between IFS and psychedelics

• How MDMA can amplify Self-energy

• The power of witnessing parts in altered states

• Why preparation is non-negotiable before a medicine journey

• The consequences of skipping the prep and integration process

• The role of the IFS Self-led guide in enhancing psychedelic journeys

• What “integration” really means—and why it’s the completion, not the afterthought

• The myth that the medicine does the healing (hint: it’s your Self that does)

Whether you’re a seasoned guide or curious about combining inner parts work with psychedelic tools, this episode is a must-listen.

What happens when Internal Family Systems meets the mystical? In this episode I’m joined once again by therapist, teacher, and spiritual guide Chris Hancock to explore Transpersonal Internal Family Systems (T-IFS)—a sacred weaving of parts work with direct connection to the Divine.

Together, we explore how T-IFS opens portals to higher realms of healing, the many expressions of Divine love and light, and how spiritual beings—including Mother Mary and Isis—can participate in unburdenings and transformation. Chris also shares his process of spiritual awakening and the path that led him to co-create this multidimensional form of healing. I share my own powerful T-IFS session with Chris, including an emotional message received from Mother Mary that brought me to tears.

This episode is a testament to what becomes possible when we listen deeply, surrender, and allow Love itself to lead the way.
