Exploring Family Constellations and "Another Self"

In this episode, Jenny and Rafe delve into the growing awareness and acceptance of family constellations, a therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand how past traumas and family dynamics can influence their current lives. They discuss how family constellations are portrayed in the popular Netflix series Another Self, highlighting the increasing mainstream recognition of this profound therapeutic method.

The Family Constellation Process Explained

Rafe provides a comprehensive overview of how family constellation workshops work. He describes the process of using representatives to embody different family members, allowing participants to explore the hidden dynamics and unresolved issues within their family systems. Emphasising that the client is the expert in their own experience, Rafe explains how constellations offer opportunities for new insights and personal resolution.

Powerful Constellation Experiences

Sharing a deeply personal experience, Rafe recounts a transformative family constellation related to his brother’s suicide. He reveals how the constellation process uncovered emotional truths and insights that he had not previously recognised, offering a powerful testament to the effectiveness of family constellations in addressing complex emotional trauma. Rafe also discusses the visceral emotional reactions that can arise during constellations, highlighting the intensity of the process.

Ancestry and Intergenerational Trauma

The conversation takes a reflective turn as Rafe discusses the role of ancestry and intergenerational trauma in family constellations. He explains how ancestral influences—often carried unconsciously through generations—can shape an individual’s life. Through a personal example, Rafe illustrates how family constellations can bring awareness to these hidden connections and offer healing for inherited wounds.

Rafe Nauen’s Diverse Career Journey

Jenny and Rafe take a moment to reflect on Rafe’s diverse career path, from working in IT to farming and pottery. Rafe shares how these varied experiences eventually led him to the field of family constellations, a practice he has been engaged in for over 20 years. His unique journey demonstrates the interconnectedness of life experiences and how each chapter can lead to greater clarity and purpose.

Tune in to discover how family constellations can offer healing and transformation, and how the process has influenced Rafe's life and work.

This week, Jenny sits down with the powerhouse that is Buckso, an actress, speaker, and all-round force of nature. Buckso didn’t even think about acting until she was 37 – before that, she was working on the railways! She opens up about battling imposter syndrome, carving out a career in TV, and realising that her true calling went way beyond acting.

Breaking the Rules & Doing Life Her Way

Buckso gets real about defying family expectations, especially when it came to who she married. Going against tradition wasn’t easy – it led to years of tension and even estrangement. But with time, healing, and a whole lot of self-discovery, she found her own way forward (even if some relationships remained complicated).

A Spiritual Awakening That Changed Everything

When her father passed away, something shifted. Buckso had a huge wake-up call and realised she wasn’t just here to act—she was here to help others find their voice. That’s how her platform, Haus of Wisdom, was born, creating a space for deep conversations and personal growth.

Staying Grounded in a Chaotic World

Buckso has no time for energy-draining nonsense. She shares her go-to practices for staying sane:

✔ Cutting back on news and social media (no doom-scrolling here!)

✔ Meditating in a copper pyramid (yes, really!)

✔ Staying grateful and being mindful of who and what she allows into her space

How to Break Free from the ‘JAIL’ That’s Holding You Back

Ever feel stuck in your own head? Buckso introduces her JAIL framework – Judgement, Agenda, Intentions, Lies – which she says keeps people trapped in their own limitations. Her advice? Ask more questions, let go of what people think, and don’t be afraid to live life on your terms.

Final Thoughts & What’s Next

Jenny and Buckso wrap things up with a chat about what’s coming next for her, including exciting projects and ways to get involved. The key takeaway? It’s never too late to find your purpose and start living authentically.
