Meet Your Mind’s Dysfunctional Family (And How to Make peace with Them) with Britt Frank

In this episode of The WorkWell Podcast™, Jen Fisher speaks with Britt Frank, licensed neuropsychotherapist, keynote speaker, and author of "The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward" and "Align Your Mind: Tame Your Inner Critic and Make Peace with Your Shadow Using the Power of Parts Work." Britt's research-based approach combines neuroscience, trauma therapy, and humor to help people understand why they do what they do—and more importantly, how to change it.

Episode Highlights:

The difference between "gas pedal stuckness" (workaholism/burnout) and "brake pedal stuckness" (procrastination)
How anxiety functions as your mind's "check engine light" signaling underlying problems
Why there's no such thing as self-sabotage—and what's really happening instead
Understanding "parts work" and how your mind contains multiple inner voices and characters
How to transform your inner critic from enemy to ally through dialogue, not silence
Why asking "why" keeps you stuck while asking "how" and "what" creates momentum
Practical strategies for leaders to recognize which "parts" of their team members are activated
The difference between professional success and professional fulfillment
How to shift from reactive parts brain to your "inner CEO" in workplace situations

Quotable Moment:

"All behaviors, even suboptimal ones, even bad ones, are doing a job and they're serving a function." - Britt Frank

Lyra Lens:

In this segment, Dr. Joe Grasso, VP of Workforce Transformation at Lyra Health, explores how high achievers with their "foot always on the gas" can create (and reveal) systemic organizational problems. He discusses values-based working, moving from blame to curiosity when addressing performance issues, and how managers can shift from treating individual behavior problems to addressing systemic workplace challenges.
