October 2025 Week 1

You've probabably already seen a post or heard from another email that my dear friend & colleague, Carmen Jimenez-Pride, has peacefully left this Earth.

She left behind such a beautiful and bold legacy, which I hope to carry on with me and share when/wherever I can in her honor.

So, as I continue to process & grieve, I also want to celebrate and highlight all the amazing things she created & believed in.

Let's reflect together and learn how we can best carry on her legacy for the good of others, just as Carmen intended us to do with her work.

IFS (Internal Family Systems) is something Carmen was always very passionate about and really was at the core of all she taught!

See her video and handouts below.

And for more info on Carmen and all her work, I encourage you to give her website a look!   She has so many great trainings, resources, and products available.

If you're able, I also encourage you to check out her shop and purchase a few things that will go towads supporting her family --> Carmen's Website

In honor of Carmen and her family, we'll be doing giveaways ALL month of Carmen's products!!

So for this week, we'll be giving away one of her books, 'Playful Parts Work: An introductory Guide to Integrating Play Therapy with Internal Family Systems.'

All you have to do is log into your portal, watch our training video, and reply "Done!" to Monday's email (or email support@southernsandtray.com) to be entered!

We will draw a winner on Friday afternoon (October 10th) and announce it in our Facebook Penthouse group.

Good luck,

Amy & the SSI Team
