Loving Everything with Andrea Love: Episode 52: Avery Wood - Exploring the Self

In Exploring the Self: Unlocking Self-Discovery & Personal Growth, we sit down with IFS Coach, mental health advocate, and soulful explorer Avery Wood for a deep and intimate conversation about healing from the inside out.

Avery guides us through the transformative framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a therapeutic approach that views the mind as a constellation of “parts,” each carrying its own emotions, roles, and history. Some parts protect us, some carry pain, and others step in to manage overwhelm. At the center of it all is the Self—our innate source of calm, clarity, compassion, and curiosity.

In this episode, we explore the process of unburdening these parts, accessing the Self, and creating inner harmony. We discuss how protectors, exiles, and firefighters show up in daily life and how deep healing begins with listening, not fixing.

From life on the road in a converted school bus to holding sacred space for clients facing trauma, grief, and rebirth, Avery brings raw wisdom, lived experience, and heart.

If you're craving transformation—after loss, burnout, or years of self-neglect—this conversation is for you.
