Have you ever noticed how your presence can make people both admire and resent you at the same time?
One moment theyâre drawn to your composure, your depth, your light - and the next, theyâre calling you intimidating, too intense, or âa bit much.â
Perhaps this has been the story of your entire life.
In this episode, I unpack whatâs really happening when your presence activates projection in your friends, clients, colleagues, even family. Weâll explore six common archetypes that powerful women unconsciously embody (the Refined Outsider, the Initiatrix, the Independent Light, and more) and why these energies stir admiration and shadow in equal measure.
Youâll learn how to read the feedback of the field without shrinking, apologising, or over-explaining yourself and instead, how to stay rooted in your own energetic sovereignty as a woman of depth.
Because when you understand projection, you stop taking peopleâs reactions personally and start reading them as data from the collective unconscious.
If youâre ready to turn your depth into your profession, this is the work we do inside The Psychodynamic Coach Academy - our internationally accredited certification for coaches who want to work at soul-level depth.

Episode 100 - Navigating Fear and Doubt - A Psychodynamic Approach to Online Business Growth
Welcome to Episode 100 of the #BigTalk podcast.
One of the biggest challenges I see with online business owners is the battle between their conscious goals and their subconscious blocks. In my latest episode, I dive deep into this internal conflict and how it shows up in four major ways:
đ„ The Illusion of Momentum: Riding the Waves of Surging Energy
Ever feel those bursts of energy that get you super productive, only to burn out fast? Weâll explore why this short-term energy surge isn't sustainable and how to build momentum that lasts.
đ Drowning in Overwhelm: The Recurring Tidal Wave of Anxiety
Recurring overwhelm is a cycle too many entrepreneurs get stuck in. Learn how subconscious fears and doubts drive this feeling and the strategies you can use to calm the storm.
đ Perpetual Perfection: The Trap of Overworking Your Offers
Is perfectionism keeping you from launching? Discover why you're endlessly refining your offers and how to break the cycle, so you can move forward and connect with your ideal clients.
đ The Comfort Zone Conundrum: Taking Refuge in âLeaning Backâ
While "leaning back" has its benefits, it can also become an excuse to avoid taking action. Iâll share how to balance surrender with taking bold steps toward your business goals.
I'll be sharing valuable psychological insights and actionable steps on how to align your conscious goals with your deeper desires, so you can stop getting in your own way and build lasting success.
Ready to break the cycle of fear and doubt and grow your online business in 2024 and beyond?
