The whole goal of internal family system is to get to know your internal family and to unburden the exiles without totally rejecting the different parts. All parts are welcome. Having them welcome does not mean that we're not going to work with them. But it does create a path. It does create a map in how we're going to deal with them.

In this episode of 'The Kick Sugar Coach Podcast', Florence Christophers sits down with David Kerwin, a life coach who's been sober from drugs and alcohol for over 40 years.

He advocates for a sugar-free, whole food lifestyle as a foundation for lasting change.
