In this conversation I’m joined by Andrea Tessier—self-trust coach, IFS practitioner, and author—for a rich discussion on what it truly means to trust yourself from the inside out.

We explore how self-trust is an inward-facing relationship, while confidence is often the outward expression of that trust. Andrea shares how intuition can become a practical daily guide, including her practice of asking, “What should I do today?” and learning to trust what naturally arises.

Together, we talk about the internal barriers to self-trust—the protective parts that carry fear, doubt, or hesitation—and how these “gatekeepers” can actually become allies when approached with compassion through an Internal Family Systems lens.

We also discuss:

• The difference between self-trust and confidence
• How protective parts can block or guard self-trust
• Ways to nurture and cultivate trust in yourself over time
• Practicing openness to receive intuitive guidance
• How to discern between protective parts and intuitive knowing
• Recognizing the unique ways intuition speaks to each of us
• Why IFS can be seen as a practice of intuition
• Nature as a powerful pathway back to inner knowing
• The first step to strengthening your intuition
• Andrea’s new book, The Self-Trust Journal

Andrea’s work is rooted in The Self-Trust Blueprint™, an IFS-informed framework that supports ambitious non-conformists standing at the threshold of something new—guiding them from self-doubt into genuine self-led living.

If you’ve been craving deeper trust in yourself, your path, or your inner voice, this episode is for you.

In this episode I’m joined by Tracey Soghrati—Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, and Registered Nurse—to explore breath as a pathway to healing, regulation, and connection.

We begin with a simple truth: everybody breathes—but not everyone feels safe in their breath.

I share my personal history with respiratory illness, including TB, pneumonia, and asthma, and how these experiences activated vulnerable parts within me. Together, we explore how breath is not just physical—it’s emotional, protective, and deeply relational.

Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, we unpack the parts of us connected to breathing, including those that brace, restrict, or fear being heard. We also explore how breath impacts the nervous system and how intentional breathwork can support regulation and healing.

This episode includes three guided breathing practices, led by Tracey, so you can experience this work firsthand.

• The universal yet complex nature of breathing
• How illness and trauma can impact our relationship with breath
• The connection between breath and the nervous system
• Protective parts that brace, restrict, or control breathing
• The impact of chronic body bracing on emotional and physical health
• Fear around vocalizing breath and being heard
• Building safety and relationship with the breath
• Three guided breathing practices you can return to anytime

Tracey Soghrati is a Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, and Registered Nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience. She specializes in the intersection of mind, body, and mindfulness, translating complex research into practical tools that integrate psychology, movement, and breath.

A monthly guest on the Tonic Talk Show, Tracey also teaches mindfulness to physicians across Canada and shares free meditations on Insight Timer. Her work supports individuals in cultivating clarity, balance, and a deeper connection to themselves.

Have you ever considered that you might already be in a trance?

In this episode, I sit down with Zarina Tariq, Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati, to explore hypnotherapy as a powerful bridge to healing, self-trust, and inner knowing.

We talk about how many of us walk through life in unconscious “trance states” shaped by limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, and protective patterns — and how hypnotherapy can gently help us wake up.

Zarina shares the history of hypnotherapy, what it actually is (and isn’t), and clears up common misconceptions about hypnosis. We explore the difference between everyday trance states and intentionally entering trance “at will” for healing and transformation.

You’ll also hear:

• What a typical hypnotherapy session looks like

• How hypnotherapy helps access the subconscious mind

• How it supports breaking self-sabotaging patterns

• The similarities and differences between hypnotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• The connection between hypnotherapy and chakras

• My personal experience working with Zarina

Zarina Tariq is an Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapist and Empowerment Coach based in Cincinnati. She helps individuals break free from limiting beliefs, emotional blocks, and self-sabotaging patterns by addressing root causes rather than surface-level symptoms.

Blending hypnotherapy, energy work, and coaching, Zarina empowers her clients to unlock the vast potential of their subconscious minds, cultivate self-confidence, and step into their personal power with clarity and confidence.
