The Quiet Part Out LoudLisa Gajda - The Worker PartLisa Gajda (Fosse, Movin' Out) is a veteran Broadway dancer who is now a therapist to many artists. Bobby and Lisa share in their similar paths, as well as their mutual focus on IFS, the model of therapy that is the inspiration for this podcast. Lisa's worker part, much like Bobby's drive for achievement, was single-minded in keeping her afloat through productivity. The rest is a journey towards healing and self-acceptance while, hopefully, working a little less. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Along the way we talk to clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Firestone and author & speaker Lisa Jakub. Both of whom help us to understand why self-acceptance can be challenging, what the rewards of doing the work are, and most importantly what are some tang...

In this episode you will hear all the details - launch date, frequency, etc. But first, Brett and Nick seem to have slightly different views on how exactly to launch this new season.
