What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding from yourself… are actually the key to your creative breakthroughs?

In this episode, Laura takes us into the world of Carl Jung—by way of a late-night deep dive into Jungian psychology (and yes, just the tip of the iceberg). Along the way, she breaks down the difference between Jung and Sigmund Freud in the most Spark File way imaginable, using everything from Freudian slips to shadow selves to… Channing Tatum.

Together, we explore the collective unconscious, the persona, and the shadow self—including the often-overlooked golden shadow, where your hidden brilliance might be quietly waiting.

But this isn’t just a psychology lesson. It’s an invitation.

To look at what you’ve tucked away, to question the roles you’ve been playing, to integrate the parts of yourself that might just be the most alive.

Because your creativity doesn’t come from the polished mask…it comes from the whole, complicated, deeply human YOU.
