If You Haven’t Sat with Your Own Shadow, You’re Not Ready for Someone Else’s
Why Unprocessed Leaders Become Unsafe Space Holders

It’s easy to talk about healing.
It’s easy to hashtag #shadowwork and post poetic quotes about inner alchemy.

But here’s the raw truth:

If you haven’t sat with your own shadow —
really sat with it —
you’re not ready to hold space for someone else’s.

In this episode, Gin breaks down the dangerous difference between spiritual performance and true preparedness, and why trauma-informed space holding can’t be faked with a certificate or a script.

We unpack:

  • What real shadow work actually feels like

  • The 3 ways unprocessed “guides” harm the people they claim to help

  • How sacred readiness is earned — not declared

  • And why you should never touch someone else’s wounds if you haven’t cleaned your own

This one is for the real ones.
The brave ones.
The ones who’ve screamed into the void and stayed.

Shadow work isn’t sexy.
But it’s sacred.
And it’s time we stop letting people sell it like it’s a vibe.
