The Snowball Effect Inside of You
Episode 144
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
Parts beget parts. Self begets Self. This is a common expression you might overhear in circles of Internal Family Systems practitioners. Essentially, we're saying that when we take time to connect with our True Selves, two things happen: we're more likely to engage in life from our True Self, and we're more likely to receive the True Self of the people we're interacting with. (Self begets Self). And, conversely, when we're all blended up with parts of our ego, we stir up more ego stuff in ourselves, and spark the egoic parts of everyone else. Parts beget parts. Makes sense, right? It's like a positive or negative snowball effect that goes on inside us and everyone else, all the time! In this week's episode of Confessions Of A Parent Coach, I'm sharing multiple stories that illustrate this concept in real life. We have so many opportunities to kick off either of these snowballs in ourselves, and it doesn't take much. Listen in to hear how I do it, and how you can too! If you're ready to take control of the snowball effect within you and see what amazing relationships and experiences await you, set up a free Discovery Call and let's see if we're a good fit! https://calendly.com/annkaplan/discoverycall
