In this deeply empowering episode, we'll explore the sacred role of shadow work for empaths, healers, and lightworkers. Michelle explains how the parts of ourselves we hide or reject, our shadow, hold essential keys to our personal power, purpose, and healing.

Drawing on both Jungian psychology and decades of client work, Michelle breaks down the invisible contracts we make with our shadow and how they quietly sabotage our relationships, careers, and self-worth. You'll learn how triggers, emotional patterns, and resistance to praise can all point to disowned parts of yourself that are ready to be reclaimed.

This episode is a loving call to integration, reminding you that your light is only as strong as your willingness to sit with your dark. It’s not about being all good. It’s about being whole.

What You’ll Learn:

• What shadow work really is—and why it’s essential for lightworkers
• How to spot the unconscious “shadow contracts” running your life
• Three powerful ways to identify your shadow parts
• Why avoiding the dark actually dims your light
• How shadow integration expands your power, creativity, and presence

In this powerful episode of Into The Work: Therapy for Empaths and Seekers, Michelle Poverman dives into the essential yet often overlooked topic of energy hygiene, what it is, why it matters, and how it supports your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Just like brushing your teeth or washing your hands, your energy field needs daily care and attention. Think of it as your spiritual immune system, protecting you from energetic overload, emotional debris, and the low-vibration chaos of the world around you.

In this powerful episode of Into the Work: Therapy for Empaths and Seekers, we explore the difference between woundmates and soulmates—and how trauma bonds, emotional wounds, and nervous system conditioning influence the relationships we attract and stay in.

Drawing on the teachings of Carolyn Myss and her concept of woundology, we unpack why some connections feel magnetic but keep us stuck in cycles of emotional pain. You'll learn how staying in low-vibration relationships impacts your health, wellbeing, and growth—and how raising your vibration can cause deep shifts (and even conflict) in your existing relationships.

🔹 Why we bond through shared trauma
 🔹 How your nervous system confuses pain with safety
 🔹 What to do when healing feels like betrayal to others
 🔹 When to set boundaries—and when it’s time to walk away
 🔹 What soulmate energy really feels like

Whether you’re navigating a toxic relationship or ready to call in a higher love, this episode will help you shift from surviving to thriving.

• The real emotional cost of fixing
• How does this pattern play out in parenting

• Steps to stop over-functioning and start receiving love
