Episode 123 | How My FEAR OF DEBT Helped Me Reclaim My WHOLENESS

There's a major misconception when doing (what's called in the spiritual community) "shadow work". Usually, when we hear mention of our "shadows", we associate them with negative experiences -- things we feel guilty over or ashamed of, perhaps things we wish hadn't happened. But to hate or regret any part of your journey means that you're not fully present and accepting of where you are right now.

What if you removed the judgments from your shadows? What if you stopped labeling them as bad, unworthy, and shameful? What if you started looking at your life through the lens of *experience* rather than through the lens of black/white, good/bad, right/wrong?

If you only accept the "positive" aspects of yourself, wholeness will continue to elude you. Wholeness is all-inclusive -- accepting and loving every part of yourself, every life experience, every choice you've made... regardless of how your egoic mind has falsely decided to label it. Remember, a thing just *is* until you decide to pass judgment on it.

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of my own shadows: my fear of debt (which is really just a fear of abundance #gofigure) and how embracing this shadow has helped me reclaim my wholeness. We're diving deep into one of my journal entries, so get ready for an entirely new perspective with regard to money, debt, and abundance.
