In this episode of The Shadow Side with Safrianna, host Safrianna Lughna, LCPC, MS sits down with Jennifer Urezzio, intuitive strategist and soul language practitioner, to explore one of the most pervasive and culturally conditioned patterns in human behavior: the addiction to struggle.

Jennifer unpacks how many people are wired — through cultural conditioning, unresolved trauma, and Protestant work ethic — to equate struggle with progress. Together, she and Safrianna examine how struggle functions as a distraction from deeper shadow work, how it masquerades as a false zone of safety, and how the highs and lows of chronic striving become a mechanism for avoiding what actually needs attention.

The conversation weaves together Soul Language, Human Design, spiritual bypassing, and somatic awareness to offer a fuller picture of what it means to release the struggle identity.

Jennifer shares tangible tools — including how to create a conscious connection with the soul and how to use the body's "divine intelligence" to establish a new set point of safety. Safrianna reflects on her own Collaborator Soul Language and the practice of pivoting out of misalignment in real time.

The episode closes with Jennifer's reminder that returning to one's essential nature and allowing something new to be created from a place of wholeness and completion is the work.
