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 99 - Women & The Golden Shadow: Embracing Authentic Power in a Patriarchal Society
Welcome to Episode 99 of the #BigTalk podcast.
In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the golden shadow - the hidden potential, ambition, and leadership qualities within women that society often conditions us to suppress.
🔍 Discussion Highlights:
đź’› How societal norms encourage women to downplay their natural talents, and also their ambition and leadership qualities.
đź’› The role of internalised misogyny and why women sometimes hold each other back #sisterwound
đź’› The fear of being labeled as "too much" (or not enough) - too confident, too loud, too assertive - and how it keeps women from fully stepping into their power.
💛 Why embracing assertiveness, ambition, and success is still a radical act of empowerment in today’s world, and...
đź’› Why embracing the 'softer' forms of feminine leadership is also an act of radical empowerment!
đź’› Strategies for reclaiming your golden shadow and thriving as your most powerful, unapologetic self.
Listen now to discover how you can start owning your brilliance. It’s time to step into the leadership, success, and influence you’re truly capable of.
Join the conversation and let's explore what it really means to embrace your power in a world that still fears it 🔥💛
* 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.
