"Understanding Your Inner World: Self-Compassion & Parts Work" with Amber Masselot

The Transformation Network™

What if you're not actually getting in your own way? What if the parts of you that seem to hold you back are actually trying to protect you? In this episode, I talk with licensed marriage and family therapist Amber Masselot to explore Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful approach to self-awareness and healing. Amber shares how recognizing and working with our different “parts” can help us navigate self-doubt, perfectionism, and emotional struggles with more compassion.
We discuss how our protective parts develop, why they sometimes create self-sabotage, and how reconnecting with our true “Self” can help us move through challenges with clarity and confidence. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm, this conversation will give you new insights into why—and how to move forward with kindness toward yourself.
Questions to consider:

• What’s one area of your life where you feel “stuck”? Could a protective part be at play?
• How might self-compassion shift the way you approach your challenges?
• What would it look like to reconnect with your true Self and create inner alignment?
