October 15, 2024Ep. 98 Is your Shadow Work holding you back? Here’s why you’re not seeing results
Ever feel like you’ve been doing all the work—deep diving into shadow, emotional release, manifestation—yet something still feels off? Maybe you're crushing the hard stuff, facing your shadows head-on, but joy and light seem elusive. Or, perhaps you're riding high on positivity and manifestation but can’t shake the feeling that you're avoiding something deeper.

In today’s episode of Shadow Work, WTF?, I’m getting real about the sneaky pattern I’ve fallen into—and I bet you have too. It’s easy to think that leaning into either shadow work or positivity is enough, but what if the real breakthrough happens when you balance both? What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t that you’re doing the wrong thing, but that you’re focusing too much on one side?

I’m sharing my own story of swinging between high vibes and shadow work, and why I had to learn the hard way that you need both to create real momentum. Curious? You should be, because what I’ve uncovered might just shift how you approach your personal growth and business from here on out.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
Why doing all the “right” things can still leave you feeling stuck.

The trap of relying too much on either shadow work or positivity.

How I went from rejecting joy to reclaiming abundance in my life and business.

Why integrating both light and dark is the secret to your next breakthrough.
If you’ve been feeling like something’s not adding up in your personal development journey, this might be the missing piece. Let’s find out together.

Key Points and Timestamps:
[00:00] - Introduction Are you stuck doing the deep work but missing the light? Or are you avoiding the hard stuff by staying in the high-vibe lane? Here’s why both can be traps.
[02:22] - The Trap of One-Sided Work Why shadow work or positivity alone won’t get you where you want to go—and how to know when you’ve fallen into the trap.
[07:02] - My Journey from Enlightenment to Shadow WorkHow I bounced between extremes and realized neither approach was getting me the results I craved.
[23:05] - When Joy Becomes Your Shadow Why I started rejecting joy and positivity—and how it ended up holding me back in ways I didn’t expect.
[29:58] - Basic B*tch Manifestation & Reclaiming AbundanceI started with simple manifestation practices to reclaim abundance and saw massive results. Want to know how?
[39:32] - Where Are You Stuck? Shadow or Light?Let’s get real: are you stuck in the shadows or avoiding them with positivity? I’ll help you figure out where you are and what to do about it.
[44:21] - Final Thoughts & Shadow Alchemy Certification Ready to go deeper? I’m sharing details on my upcoming Shadow Alchemy Certification for those who want to take this work to the next level.

October 01, 2024Ep. 97 What to do when you want to quit
In today’s episode of Shadow Work, WTF?, I’m getting real about those moments when you just want to quit. You know the ones—when you’ve done everything you can think of, followed all the steps, and yet nothing seems to be working. Whether it’s in business, fertility, or any other area of life, that overwhelming urge to throw in the towel can feel like too much. I’ve been there, and I’m sharing exactly what’s been coming up for me in this season.

Lately, I’ve been navigating so much pressure in both my business and fertility journey. I’ve been doing “all the right things,” yet there are moments when I feel like screaming, “Why isn’t this working?!” It’s vulnerable to admit that even after creating so much success, I sometimes feel like quitting. But here’s the truth—this is where the real work begins.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
The frustration of doing everything right and still feeling stuck.

How control and ego can make things so much harder than they need to be.

What it really means to surrender—letting go without losing yourself.

The fine line between responsibility and over-responsibility.

Why quitting is often a sign that your patterns need to change, not your goals.

If you’re feeling that pull to quit right now, I want you to know that I see you. And I’m sharing how I’ve been working through these moments of doubt and resistance by shifting my mindset, working with my nervous system, and choosing to keep going in a way that feels more aligned. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing differently.

Key Points and Timestamps
[00:00] - When you’re on the edge of quitting, what do you do next?
[04:00] - The frustration of doing everything “right” but still feeling stuck.
[10:00] - How ego and control create unnecessary suffering.
[15:00] - The struggle with over-responsibility in both business and personal growth.
[20:00] - Learning to trust something bigger when letting go feels terrifying.
[26:00] - What to do when you want to quit—keep going, but in a way that feels aligned.
[29:00] - My invitation to Beyond Mindset—a two-week training for coaches and anyone who wants to dive deeper into shadow work and human behavior.
