In this episode of The Intuition Incubator, I sit down with Steven Twohig—a master of shadow-informed depth work—to explore why we keep living out the same patterns on repeat (ugh, right?). We unpack how childhood experiences and internal constructs quietly drive our choices, our relationships, and even how we see the world.

Steven brings a grounded, no-fluff approach to shadow work, sharing practical ways to meet the parts of ourselves we’ve been avoiding—and why doing so is the key to actual, lasting transformation. We talk needs, perceptions, healing, and the hard stuff, all with the goal of helping you reconnect with your intuition and live from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop you can’t quite name, this one’s for you.
