August 19, 2026

What are your inner selves & how do they help or hold you back?

The Final 8th: Enlist Your Inner Selves to Accomplish Your Goals with Bridgit Dengel Gaspard

Many listeners loved Bridgit Dengel Gaspard’s deeper dive into The Final 8th and want to know more (Deper Dive recently aired here). Sohere’s our first conversation with Bridgit, while we were still recovering from the pandemic. Bridgit’s work is more relevant than ever in today’s chaos-filled world, when so many lives are being flipped upside down.

If you’re ready to get unstuck, dive in! We learn how Bridgit, a former actor and comic turned psychotherapist, got involved in this work and how she’s developed it. Most importantly, we learn how using the tools discussed in The Final 8th can help you get unstuck or help you get over the finish line with that project that’s almost done, but you’ve been procrastinating on finishing. 

Bridgit handles the inner critic beautifully – explaining when you might want to listen to it, and when you should ignore it. We also discuss often overlooked nonverbal signals, such as tension, insomnia, frustration. How to figure out which of your inner selves is helping or hindering. Which is the perfectionist or procrastinator. And, why they sometimes have conflicting motives.

A Deeper Dive Into Reaching The Final 8th with Bridgit Dengel Gaspard

The Final 8th: Enlist Your Inner Selves to Accomplish Your Goals with Bridgit Dengel Gaspard

If you’ve ever stopped working toward a goal you swore you wanted – a promotion, relationship, creative dream – right before it became reality, returning guest Bridgit Dengel Gaspard says: You’re not weak. You’re not broken. You’re definitely not self-destructive. You’re simply human … and not every part of you wants what you think you want.

Picking up where our last conversation ended, we drill down into Bridgit’s groundbreaking work with inner selves, exploring what it really takes to cross the finish line.

We unpack more neuroscience behind inner selves. What happens in your brain when different “parts” of you pull in different directions. How culture impacts you. How to turn your inner critic into an ally – it’s not your enemy; it’s a protector in a bad disguise.

We explore why we stay too long in jobs, relationships, and situations that no longer serve us. Inner dynamics that keep us stuck. And The Final 8th – that last stretch between where you are and where you want to be, and why it’s often the most psychologically loaded terrain of the entire journey
