The Part of You That You Hate Is the Key to Everything You Want
FRD member Eric Farewell sits down with Craig Perra for a conversation about parts work, self-leadership, and the reframe that changed Craig’s life. Craig is an attorney by training and former senior executive who hit rock bottom and discovered that the parts of himself he hated most were actually trying to help him.
They dig into Internal Family Systems, why there are no bad habits (only bad outcomes), how shame is actually a compliance department working overtime, and what it looks like to lead your inner world the way you’d lead a business. Craig shows how neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and business leadership all point to the same truth: we have parts, they’re in conflict, and there’s a powerful center inside every one of us that can lead them.
The last five minutes are especially practical. Craig walks you through how to start doing this work right now with two simple questions you can ask yourself today.
