Have you ever noticed how your presence can make people both admire and resent you at the same time?
One moment they’re drawn to your composure, your depth, your light - and the next, they’re calling you intimidating, too intense, or “a bit much.”
Perhaps this has been the story of your entire life.
In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening when your presence activates projection in your friends, clients, colleagues, even family. We’ll 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.
You’ll 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 people’s reactions personally and start reading them as data from the collective unconscious.
If you’re 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 97 - When Mindset Work Falls Short: 5 Signs Your Clients Need Shadow Work
Welcome to Episode 97 of the #BigTalk podcast.
Mindset shifts are powerful, but what happens when they just aren’t enough?
That’s where the magic of sincere shadow work comes in.
In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers to explore the difference between mindset work and shadow work - a distinction that can be the key to unlocking your clients’ raw, untapped potential.
I’ll walk you through 5 signs that your clients are ready to move beyond the surface and dive into the deeper, more mysterious realms of their psyche. We’ll talk about those stubborn patterns that just won’t budge, those emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, and why shadow work might be the missing piece in their transformational journey.
So, get ready to go on a magic carpet ride into the realm of the shadow and discover how it can lead to profound breakthroughs and real, lasting change.
* Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around*
Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.
