In this episode, I sit down with self-compassion teacher, somatic coach, IFS practitioner, and soon-to-be author Soulla Demetriou.
We explore what it really means to come home to yourself, befriend your inner world, and move through life with more ease, compassion, and truth.
In this conversation, we talk about:
• Soulla’s story
How her early experiences with anxiety and panic opened the door to yoga, mindfulness, somatics, and eventually Internal Family Systems (IFS).
• What self-compassion truly is
Not clichés or forced positivity — but a daily practice of inner friendship, boundaries, honesty, and care.
• The nervous system’s role in healing
Why so many of our patterns come from old protective responses, and how safety changes everything.
• A simple, grounded explanation of IFS
How our “parts” develop, what they’re trying to protect, and how self-energy (the clear sky beneath the weather) helps bring them into balance.
• The wound of “not enoughness”
Why so many of us carry it, and how we begin healing it gently.
• Returning to who we really are
The beautiful overlap between IFS self-energy and the Ayurvedic idea of living from sattva, clarity, and inner steadiness.
