In this juicy AF episode, I sit down with the absolute gem of a human, Andrea Tessier – IFS practitioner, master coach, intuitive powerhouse, and the woman who helps people trust themselves for a living.

We go deep into Internal Family Systems (IFS) – what it is, how it works, and why your so-called “problem parts” are actually the ones loving the hardest on you.

This conversation is equal parts practical, magical, identity-shifting, and business-changing.

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, this one's for you.


What We Dive Into

  • What IFS actually is (spoiler: there are NO bad parts)
  • Why certain patterns in business feel like sabotage… but aren’t
  • The truth about striver parts, perfectionists, procrastinators, rebels, people-pleasers, over-responsibility, and other familiar inner characters
  • What “Self with a capital S” feels like – and why it’s the ONLY place you can sustainably run a business from
  • How “parts running your business” creates burnout, codependency, resentment, or confusion
  • How manager parts + firefighter parts work (and why your binge-eating, dissociation, scrolling, or burnout patterns aren’t moral failures)
  • The difference between fear-driven business and freedom-driven business
  • Why traditional coaching often becomes “manager-to-manager” instead of soul-to-soul
  • Why so much online marketing feels icky – and the IFS lens that explains it perfectly
  • How to make business decisions, marketing, sales, and boundaries from Self-energy
  • A big conversation about AI, urgency marketing, and integrity in the current coaching industry


Andrea Tessier, M.Ed. is a Master Life Coach and a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner who helps visionary leaders and entrepreneurs cultivate deep self-trust and lead from within.
