Season of Stuck
Have you ever felt stuck? Like you can’t move forward even though you want to—or don’t know what you would move forward to even if you could? If so, this podcast is for you.
Join host Deanna deBara (who is no stranger to stuck!) as we take a deep dive into all things stuck: how and why stuckness happens, what it feels like, how to learn and grow from it, and ultimately, how to get unstuck and step into the next version of ourselves and our lives.
Stuck isn’t a you thing or a me thing; it’s a human thing. So, why not explore it together? Catch new episodes every Tuesday!

Parts Work—And How To Use It As A Tool For Getting Unstuck
In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Jacqui Stilling, a therapist and parts work expert who helps people understand and transform their inner worlds through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. During their conversation, they explore how identifying our different "parts" can help us get unstuck and develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. From understanding the origins of our protective parts to learning how to speak for rather than from our parts, Jacqui shares powerful insights that can help anyone better navigate stuckness.
Tune in to learn about:
- What parts work is—and how it can help you better understand yourself
- How to identify and work with different parts of yourself when you're feeling stuck
- Why there are "no bad parts"—just parts trying to protect you in different ways
- Practical steps to better know and empathize with all parts of yourself
Thoughts from the episode:
- "I like to think about it this way: that we all have these different parts…none of them are bad. The thing is, we don't want any one of our parts to be driving our emotional bus."
- "These parts come up to protect us. But in essence, as we grow and change, they're stuck in our three or four year old body. They don't move along with us until we can get to know them, befriend them, and update them into 2025."
