Shadow work has a serious PR problem- it’s often viewed as this dark, heavy, and miserable- sometimes even dangerous- endeavour. In this episode, I’m tearing down that image and showing you why shadow work can actually be creative, playful, and even fun! We’ll talk about how to ditch the doom-filter, and what it looks like to do shadow work in ways that energize instead of drain you. If you’ve ever avoided shadow work because it felt too intimidating, this is your permission slip to try a lighter, more rebellious path!
