Shadow Work | with Tara Kabatoff
If you’re in a dark night, have hit rock bottom, or are tired of surface-level shadow work advice, this episode is for you.
In this raw and honest conversation, Tara Kabatoff and I go deep into what real shadow work looks like when you’re in the middle of the dark night of the soul. Not the surface version, the kind that actually moves through the body, the inner child, and the unconscious beliefs that keep us looping in the same pain.
Tara vulnerably shares her own path through head injury, financial rock bottom, existential crisis, and the heavy, sometimes terrifying layers of dark night work that included moments of psychosis-level unraveling. She walks us through how belief psychology and deep inner child work helped her move from victimhood into compassion, agency, and real freedom.
We talk about why journaling, meditation, and affirmations often aren’t enough on their own, and what it actually takes to integrate shadow work somatically so the body can finally release what the mind has been holding. Tara also shares gentle, accessible ways to begin — through symbols, tarot, oracles, and simple curiosity — plus the tools she created to support people in doing this work consistently and safely.
