the balanced whole is greater than
the sum of its parts
When the wisest part of me pulled my lids down over my tired eyes and whispered,
“And what has become of your inner child? When was the last time you connected to the part of you that is creative, curious, having an open heart filled with hope?”
I wept. I could not remember that part of me. We had parted so long ago.

e2: iNNER PARTS OF SELF
The “”Self” according to psychologist Carl Jung, is, “The unification of consciousness and unconsciousness in a person, integrating various aspects of one’s personality. We are referring to some of those aspects here as INNER PARTS OF SELF. Maggie joins her uncle, Chip Sawyer, also a counselor and coach, to explore this concept. Maggie shares her “Cast and Crew” of inner parts of self including a drama queen, Serious Sally, and a mermaid part of self that moves with the tides and communicates with sea creatures. Chip will share his “Team of Players”, with a soulful inner child that feels most connected to spirit when he is in nature and a healer self that seeks to make change for teenagers struggling to find themselves.
Most importantly, Chip and Maggie ask you to consider what are some of the parts of you? And are they a team? A cast and crew? A squad? A party? Or something else?

e3: REUNION WITH YOUR INNER CHILD
Children are naturally curious, playful, loving without limitations and judgement, creative, and explorative. It is Maggie’s belief that each of us has a knowing about who we want to be, an inner light that guides us into being that even, before we are born but society, family, friends, and teachers unknowingly dim that light with their own wants, fears, limitations, and insecurities. Isn’t it time you became reacquainted with your inner child self? In doing so, come back to that guiding light that is uniquely yours waiting to cast a warm glow in the world.
Join guest host, Chip Sawyer, Counselor, Coach, and Maggie’s uncle for a delightful introduction to your inner child self.

e4: TAME YOUR INNER CRITIC
The inner critic is often an internalized parent or mentor figure that bullies, shames, and seeks to punish us for our mistakes or unwanted ways. Its a voice in our heads that can be sarcastic, passive -aggressive, even vicious. Because this voice is so often formed in childhood, it tends to see and express things in absolutes, right and wrong, good and bad, black and white, your team versus my team.
Begin to understand your inner critic so that you can be aided by this part of you — but not controlled by it.
