Business Parts Work™: How Recovery Shapes the Way We Lead, Love, and Build

🌱 The Origin Story

Recovery didn’t just change my life—it changed the way I do business.
In my own healing, I learned to recognize the protective parts of myself that once kept me safe but now sometimes held me back. What surprised me was this: the very same parts began showing up in my business.

• The part that feared visibility also froze my marketing.
• The part that longed to please others also kept me undercharging.
• The part that carried exhaustion also delayed my growth.

Instead of seeing these as business “failures,” I began to see them as business parts—extensions of my recovery journey.

This insight is where Business Parts Work™ was born.

🧩 What Is Business Parts Work™?

Business Parts Work™ is a recovery-informed framework that connects the dots between our inner world and our outer work. It honors the truth that the roadblocks we face in our business often echo the wounds of our past.

Where traditional business coaching might say “just push harder” or “fix your mindset,” Business Parts Work™ says:

• Every block has a voice.
• Every fear makes sense.
• Every protector part deserves listening, not shaming.

This practice doesn’t bypass the nervous system or our histories. It integrates them—transforming our business “stuckness” into opportunities for healing and alignment.

🔑 The Core Belief

The way we show up in business is inseparable from the way we’ve learned to survive, recover, and connect. When we tend to the parts of ourselves that are still carrying fear, we free not only our businesses—but our families, marriages, teams, and communities.

Business Parts Work™ is not just about scaling revenue. It’s about scaling recovery into every environment we touch.

✨ The Ripple Effect

When we do this work:

• Our businesses become safer, more sustainable ecosystems.
• Our relationships thrive because our leadership softens.
• Our clients, teams, and loved ones benefit from the healing we’ve chosen.

Recovery ripples outward. Business Parts Work™ is simply the practice of noticing where those ripples need to flow next.

🛡️ A Note on Integrity & Access

Business Parts Work™ is a proprietary practice I am developing inside Healing With Healers and The Executive Circle. While I’m sharing the vision publicly, the full methodology is taught only within these safe containers.

🌟 Future Expansion: The Business Parts Model™

As this work grows, I envision The Business Parts Model™ as the codified, professional framework for clinicians, educators, and leaders who want to study, certify, or integrate this methodology into their own practices. While Business Parts Work™ is the lived, experiential practice, The Business Parts Model™ will serve as the structured framework for teaching and training at scale.
