In this episode, we step into the fire — the place where desire becomes so intense it pulls us out of our center and into something that feels bigger than logic. Why do we lose ourselves in certain attractions? Why does desire sometimes feel like obsession, magnetism, surrender, or fate?

We explore the energetic and psychological undercurrents behind overwhelming desire, including the shadow aspects Harville Hendrix has written about so extensively: the hidden, rejected, or forgotten parts of ourselves that call for reunion through attraction. His work on the “imago” and the unconscious pull toward our shadow qualities lays the foundation for this conversation.

Inside the episode, we explore: 🔥 The deeper nature of desire and why certain connections hit harder than others 🔥 Harville Hendrix’s lens on shadow parts and how they shape our attractions 🔥 The real reason you lose yourself in desire — especially with specific people 🔥 The 2 pathways through intense desire (and why neither is wrong) 🔥 How desire becomes a teacher, a mirror, and in some cases… a fire of transformation

This episode answers the common questions: “Why do I lose myself when I desire someone?” “What is this intensity trying to show me?” “How do I move through desire without abandoning myself?”

We talk about desire as a force that can either celebrate your wholeness or call you back to the parts you left behind… and how to recognize the difference.

Tune in if you’re ready to understand the fire instead of fear it — and to meet your own desire with clarity, confidence, and power.

Welcome to the Anfisa Shimkevich Podcast! In this episode, I share a personal reflection on a topic that’s been on my heart lately: the journey towards pursuing what you want in life and expanding your limitations. The things you truly desire, and the dreams that light you up, are infinite. They never deplete, but they do require you to step into a whole new version of yourself: the way you act, think, and speak. The path to getting what you truly want often takes you through your biggest fears and insecurities, but it’s also the catalyst for deep self-development and growth. It can feel impossible at times, especially when you're faced with tough challenges, but it’s in these moments that true transformation happens.

In this episode:

• Your true desires lie beyond your perceived limitations — here’s how stepping outside your comfort zone can transform your life.

• Why limitations exist to keep you alive.

• How your limitations are shaped by your past experiences, traumas, and the way your nervous system has learned to respond to the world.

• Why training your mind to be courageous is essential for breaking through barriers and moving closer to the things you truly want in life.

• Limitations exist in relationships; learn how to identify if you’re stuck in a loop of limiting patterns and behaviours.

• A unique approach to conflict resolution and how to break the negative cycle to create more peace, connection and love.

Thank you for joining me on this journey to self-mastery!
