Episode: 160
My book, The One Inside: 30 Days to Your Authentic Self, is available wherever you get books. Or on amazon here:
On this week’s episode I chat with Boo Trundle about her IFS-inspired novel, The Daughter Ship. Boo is a writer, artist, and performer whose work has appeared across various platforms and publications, including The Brooklyn Rail, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and NPR’s The Moth. She has released three albums of original music with Big Deal Records.
I absolutely loved this book and the way she blended years of inner child work and IFS therapy to create the unique Parts perspective she uses to write the novel. She shares her process of discovering and relating to different parts and learning how to tell their stories. We identify legacy burdens, ancestral guides, and which character in the novel represents her true Self.
We talk about:
Using IFS to inform and transform her writing (3:00)
The unique storytelling of the novel telling her Parts’ stories (7:00)
Her journey discovering her Parts and learning their stories (12:00)
Writing as a healing and spiritual experience (16:00)
Connecting with Self and ancestral guides during a summer writing workshop (20:00)
Identifying which character in the novel represents her true Self (33:00)
