EP 25 – The Dark Side of the Shadow: When Healing Feels Heavy

In this episode, I get honest about the part of shadow work no one talks about but also tried to glamorize—the dark side of the shadow. The part where you’re finally aligned, holding your boundaries, loving yourself deeper than ever, but old wounds flare up. Where you start to uncover all the ways you felt too much or not enough as a kid, a teen, or even last year. And even though you’re moving with integrity and wholeness, there’s a haunting pull to shrink, to dim, to keep yourself safe.

This is me, raw and in the trenches, sharing the unpolished reality of what it’s like to battle the thoughts that say: stop shining, play small, don’t scare them away. Because healing isn’t a trend. It’s a relentless choice. And sometimes it’s messy, uncomfortable, and far from easy—but it’s real.

While it is uncomfortable and messy, it is also magical and beautiful if you choose to see it. If you choose to look at yourself in each and every mirror. If you choose uncomfortable truths over comfortable lies each time.

I know this isn't easy. Alchemy isn't easy. It is however, amazing and freeing.

Thank you as always for your support.

Keep creating alchemy.

Inspired Perpetual Alchemy Always.

Until next time, thank you for sharing your time with me.
