In this episode, we discuss a myriad of topics, ranging from personal to cultural, in regards to the shadow.

I am coming to the realization that certain caretaking patterns that are affecting me today came from my early development.

How can I be okay with stress and transition? Why am I in resistance so much of the time, like I’m fighting with life?

The opportunity to offer up the shackle of our false self is always here.

I am having a hard time transitioning between living as the victim of the abandoned and scared little girl inside me (the resisting part) to being the victor of my circumstance and a present parent that takes care and hears both the little girl inside me as well as my two little boys (the accepting part).

I am talking about the kind of anger where you want to kill everything - our thoughts, our repression... How long does this anger last?

I’ve recently gone through a series of experiences and losses that have brought forth an inherent anxiety, related to a deep sense of unworthiness.

From the time she was born, she never got the respect or love that her siblings received.

How do we heal this social body? And this planet?

I feel as if I am going through a major shift in consciousness. After years of what has felt like a foggy mind, I am finally reaching the inner peace I’ve missed for so long.

What is the difference between the shadow self and the subconscious?

Being who you are, fully, wholly, can be scary and it’s tough. Why would we rather stay covered with clay, closed off?

It feels like I am going through something of a change - in the way I want to live my life right now.

As someone who has worked with and written about the human shadow, I know it can be ominous when it goes unrecognized, is dishonored, repressed, or masked-over with the false pretenses of socially accepted behavior.

I am familiar with shadow work and lightworkers, but what about shadow workers?

I am at a complete loss. It’s not the next level - it’s the same sad, lonely place I’ve inhabited since I was young.

How necessary is it to heal past relationships by owning up to the behaviors that were ego and driven by my unconscious patterns of the past that I am now privy to?

What do you suggest someone do to delve deeper into their shadow and actively engage in "the work"?

I have been realizing how much I have been projecting on a famous rock star.
