In this episode, we break shadow work down into something human, honest, and actually doable. We look at the everyday moments like snapping at your partner, shutting down in conflict, people-pleasing until you resent everyone, feeling “irrationally” irritated by a harmless text from your dad, and unpack what those reactions are really trying to tell you.
You’ll learn:
What the “shadow” actually is and why it forms
How childhood survival roles turn into adult patterns like fawning, perfectionism, or hyper-independence
How to spot shadow patterns through the body, not just your thoughts
A step-by-step process for working with your triggers without spiraling
How to integrate shadow work with nervous system regulation so it feels grounding and not overwhelming
If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting yourself, shutting down during conflict, or over-functioning in every relationship, this episode will help you understand why and how to soften those patterns without abandoning the younger parts of you who learned them.
👉 Listen in and learn how to meet your shadow with compassion, build inner safety, and slowly become the version of you who doesn’t have to hide anymore.
