In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Sara Avant Stover for a conversation that is going to shift the way you see yourself, your business, and your inner world. We’re diving deep into parts work (also known as Internal Family Systems or IFS) - the modality that has completely changed how I move through triggers, make decisions, show up as a mother, and lead inside my business. If you’ve ever wondered why you “know what to do” but still don’t do it… or why certain patterns and fears keep resurfacing even as you grow… this episode is going to feel like a massive exhale. Sara breaks down the psychology, the spirituality, and the practicality of working with your inner parts in the most grounded, beautiful way.

Here’s what we drop into inside this episode:

What IFS actually is, and how it connects your human self with your highest, divine self
The difference between protectors, managers, firefighters, and exiles (and how to work with each of them)
Why your triggers aren’t the problem, but the doorway
How re-parenting your inner parts creates real self-worth, emotional safety, and new neural pathways
What to do in the moment when you feel activated, unseen, dismissed, or overwhelmed
How parts work helps entrepreneurs move through visibility fears, burnout patterns, undercharging, and people-pleasing
Why grief, heartbreak, and major life transitions (like motherhood or a big move) awaken the parts that need the most love
The truth about building a sustainable business that honors your nervous system, your rhythms, and your humanity

This episode is truly a warm hug for your nervous system — equal parts grounding, eye-opening, and soul-nourishing. If it lands for you, come tell me over on Instagram (@iamnoravirginia). 💛

Part 2: What It Takes to Quantum Leap - The Identity Shift Behind My $33K Week

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on part two of my quantum leap - the actual identity work that happened behind the scenes of my $33K week. This isn’t the polished highlight reel or a “just believe harder” conversation. It’s the real, messy, deeply human process of detaching self-worth from money, regulating my nervous system through a massive pivot, and learning how to lead, sell, and create from a place of peace instead of pressure. If you’ve been in a season of change, motherhood, burnout, or redefining success on your own terms, this episode will help you feel seen… and remind you that identity shifts are built slowly, not overnight.

Part 1: What It Takes to Quantum Leap - The Identity Shift Behind My $33K Week

In today’s episode, I’m cracking open a raw, deeply honest look at what it actually takes to Quantum Leap - and the identity shift that came before my $33k sales week. This isn’t a highlight-reel conversation; it’s the real behind-the-scenes of the death-and-rebirth season I moved through this year, the emotional unraveling that motherhood brought to the surface, and the inner work that had to happen before anything shifted externally. If you’ve been feeling stuck, stretched, or like you “should” be further along by now, this episode is going to feel like a permission slip and a wake-up call all at once. We’re breaking down what identity work really is (beyond the cute exercises on TikTok), how to identify the version of you who actually creates your next level, and what it takes to operate at that level long before you feel ready.
