Ep3. Uncovering Our Most Authentic Selve...

Erika Welch
About this episode

Erika sits down with one of her favorite IFS (Internal Family Systems) coaches that she's ever had the pleasure of working with, Riké John. In this episode, Erika and Riké speak into the power of walking the spiritual path and doing the work in sisterhood, shoulder to shoulder, while running a women's circle together in Dubai. They talk about the importance of empowering each other to become a Queen amongst Queens. They speak into the importance of healing the sister-wound, which requires showing up in our most vulnerable, most authentic and rawest frequencies in each others presence. They geek out on how Shadow Work, IFS Parts Work, and how Desire-Based Coaching can help us heal our darker parts, while staying focused on walking towards the light. Riké shares how she works with all of our inner children and inner parts, how they all show up differently in different people, and how unconditionally loving ourselves is always the answer. Finally, they discuss how Fear often disguises itself as Love, and how we must always be conscious to choose Love over Fear. This is a dynamite session with this Queen amongst Queens; we hope you enjoy it.
