Episode 13 - Wisdom Path Microdose: Integrating Shadows and The Power of Shame

Welcome back to The Wisdom Path Podcast. In this unscripted, microdose episode, Rosie Peacock explores the transformative power of confronting fear and integrating shadow work.

What are you most afraid of? What parts of yourself do you fear being seen? In this episode, Rosie unpacks how fear and shame keep us disempowered—and how true freedom comes from radical self-acceptance.

She shares personal experiences, psychological insights, and a powerful real-life example of someone turning their worst fear into a source of power. If you’re ready to alchemise your fears into deeper congruence and embodiment, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• How fear points to areas where we are not yet fully in alignment

• Why shame is a vehicle for giving away your power

• The concept of congruence from Carl Rogers and how it shapes self-identity

• The myth of “slaying the dragon” and its connection to shadow work

• How playing at your edges leads to expansion and self-ownership

• Practical ways to integrate shame and reclaim your truth

Key Quotes:

• “Fear is often a signpost, pointing you to the parts of yourself you need to reclaim.”

• “Shame only has power over you when you believe it.”

• “Congruence isn’t about being just one thing, it’s about embodying all of you.”

• “Bringing your shadows into the light is the ultimate act of self-liberation.”
