This week's show is with Rod Boothroyd. Rod brings more than two decades' experience of working with men and women to his current work as a Healing The Shadow practitioner.

Rod's career in the area of human potential started with his training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy in 1999. Since then he has taken further training in Integrative Psychotherapy, worked with the ManKind Project UK and Ireland (where he was a Primary Integration Training leader), and researched in depth the art of working with, and reintegrating, the human shadow. He is now working as a one-to-one coach and therapist, and is also a supervisor with Healing The Shadow, an organisation devoted to emotional healing and the development of human potential.

In this episode, Lian and Rod delve into the concept of the 'sovereign within' and its transformative implications for leadership, personal growth, and soul awakening.

They explore the essence of heart-centred leadership - including the importance of compassion and self-love, they share insights into the archetypes of inflated and deflated sovereigns - highlighting their manifestations in everyday life and the deeper insecurities they conceal, reflect on the pivotal role of purpose in anchoring a strong sense of self, and talk about the dynamics of childhood experiences and how these early influences sculpt our ability to and our path of embodying sovereignty.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• Heart-centred leadership begins with awareness and self-compassion - We need to see and nurture the inner child and the growing sovereign within.

• Recognising shadow archetypes deepens self-awareness - Inflated sovereigns, driven by insecurities, and deflated sovereigns, hindered by self-worth struggles, offer powerful insights into our behaviours and relationships.

• Purpose and self-love are the cornerstones of sovereignty - by embracing self-acceptance and aligning with purpose, we create a foundation for self-discovery and leadership that can transform not only our own lives but those around us.
