Using IFS To Lead Your Family With Clarity

There is an Internal Civil War that rages in us. We think we are one single, consistent person, but in reality, we are a complex system of 'Parts.' We have the Protector, the Provider, the Achiever, and the Wounded Child—and often, they are all fighting for the steering wheel of our lives.

For the Sentinel, true leadership doesn't start with commanding others; it starts with commanding yourself. If you are 'blended' with your anger or your anxiety, you aren't leading—you’re reacting. To be a Durable Dad, you have to do the inner work to move from being 'Part-led' to being 'Self-led. And I’ve brought the perfect guest joining us remotely to guide us in the right direction to starting that inner work.

In this episode we are joined by Kurt Bush, the founder of Brimstone Coaching Group. Kurt is an expert in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful modality that helps men map their internal landscape. He’s here to show us how to negotiate with our internal 'Protectors' so we can show up as our best, most integrated selves at home and in the boardroom.

But a part of you is still revving up from the office, ready to bark at the first sign of chaos. You want to lead with confidence. But another part of you, the inner critic, is constantly whispering that you aren't doing enough.
