In episode five of 'This Mortal Life,' Susie Ruth discusses her recent move to Arizona to help her aging father and her spontaneous decision to buy a house there. She delves into the concept of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, explaining how understanding different 'parts' of oneself has helped her reconcile her nomadic lifestyle with a newfound desire for stability. Susie shares personal anecdotes about reconciling these conflicting parts and the joy and contentment she's found in her new home. She also emphasizes the importance of self-love and forgiveness through parts work, and briefly mentions an upcoming interview with a friend about a course they are developing together.
