Ever wonder if that voice in your head is intuition, intrusive thoughts, or your shadow just gossiping? In this episode of Scarlett’s Shadow Notes, I share messy real-life stories, gentle reflections, and practical tips to help you hear your inner voices without losing your mind.

September is here, and with it comes that familiar whisper: “Time for a perfect reset.” In this episode, I’m gently shoving that idea aside. Let’s slow down, honor the season, and carry our lessons forward—no overnight transformations required. Think of this as your friendly, slightly sassy guide to shadow work, cycles, and staying sane as the leaves start to turn.

In this episode of Scarlett’s Shadow Notes, we dive headfirst into the chaos of everyday life. From coffee spills to pillow-eating pups, life has a way of reminding us that control is an illusion. I share personal stories of messes, lost items, and pet-induced mayhem, exploring the patterns that hide in our daily chaos and what they can teach us about patience, self-awareness, and embracing the unexpected.

By the end, you’ll have a new perspective on your own “little disasters” and a simple challenge: reflect on the recurring chaos in your life and what it’s trying to show you. Plus, I’ve got a little prompt for you—email me your thoughts at [email protected]. Your reflections might inspire a future episode!
