The One Inside: An Internal Family Systems (IFS) podcast

This episode is sponsored by Pisgah Coaching Institute founded by IFS-trained Master Coach, Brian Jaudon. Enrollment is now open for 2025 season! To learn more go to: Landing Page | Pisgah Coaching

On today's episode I chat with Cheryl Field, a nurse, author, and speaker who has worked in healthcare for over 35 years. She cared for seniors needing rehabilitation after hospitalization, and later applied that passion to clinical technology companies. International Best-selling author of Prepared! A Healthcare Guide for Aging Adults, Cheryl spends her empty nesting time speaking at grand rounds for clinical teams, local libraries, 55+ communities, and senior centers on a variety of topics related to senior care.

We talk about:

How she uses IFS in her nursing work to help heal trauma in healthcare professionals and promote self-care
Befriending parts with self-doubt and fear of embarrassment while training for a half marathon
Noticing and getting to know parts
Small, intentional acts of joy and self-care for caregivers' resilience
Prioritizing self-care to prevent burnout
Caregivers should identify what recharges them and prioritize it, even if it means saying no to other requests
Recognizing and addressing trauma in nursing
The importance of having a plan for managing health transitions, especially for those over 50
