About This Podcast

Paradox & Parts is the podcast for women who are tired of pretending they're fine—and starting to hear that quiet (or not-so-quiet) whisper that something needs to shift. If you're in a season where what used to work just… doesn't—you're not broken. You're in a sacred shift. I'm Sarah Failla—Master Life Coach, Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, and the friend who will ask what's really going on under the overthinking, people-pleasing, and "I'm fine" smile. Each episode offers honest conversations, practical tools, and powerful perspectives to help you trust yourself more deeply, speak up more clearly, and live more aligned—in every part of your life. Topics include IFS/parts work, nervous system healing, boundaries, inner child work, body image, faith, deconstruction, identity, motherhood, money, sex, self-trust, embodiment, and navigating the in-between seasons of life with courage and compassion. Especially supportive for women who grew up in the church and are ready to let go of the good girl programming.
