Do you ever feel like you’re at war with yourself?
One part of you wants to hustle, scale, dominate the market.
Another part wants to sell the business, move to the woods, and sleep 10 hours a night.
And then there’s the voice panicking about churn, cash flow, and that very unhappy customer email you can’t stop thinking about.
You're not broken. You're not alone. You're just... human.
In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling introduces a powerful framework you probably haven’t tried: Internal Family Systems (IFS).
This psychological model helps founders better understand their competing inner voices—and make smarter, more aligned decisions.
Inside this episode: – Why some parts of you want to grow your business—and others want to burn it all down
– The real reason ignoring your “inner child” can lead to burnout
– How to recognize fear-based decision-making before it wrecks your strategy
– A practical exercise to map your Internal Founder System
