  • What We Do in the Shadows
    Join me on a personal journey into the shadowy corners of the self in this episode: "What We Do in the Shadows." We all have parts of ourselves that we keep out of the light—feelings and impulses we’re not quite proud of, or simply think we need to hide. But what if getting to know these hidden parts could actually lead to a fuller, more honest life? I’ll share my own experiences with shadow work, the surprising revelations it’s brought me, and how you can start this process, too. Whether you’re a longtime traveler on the path of self-discovery or just curious about what shadow work might reveal, this episode is a friendly, open-hearted invitation to explore together. Let’s shed some light on those darker sides and find out just how illuminating they can be.
