Show-notes: ep#169-Meeting Your Shadow: The Work That Sets You Free How to Do Shadow Work and Why It’s So Important!

-

 

There are parts of you that learned to be quiet.

The anger that felt “too much.”
The sensitivity that was called “dramatic.”
The ambition that was labeled “selfish.”
The neediness that was dismissed.

So you adapted.

You showed the acceptable parts.
You hid the rest.

But hidden does not mean gone.

It means operating in the dark.

This is where shadow work begins.

 

What Is Shadow Work?

Shadow work is the practice of turning toward the parts of yourself you’ve rejected, suppressed, or denied.

Your “shadow” includes:

  • Jealousy

  • Rage

  • Insecurity

  • Shame

  • Neediness

  • Pride

  • Fear

  • Control

These traits are not flaws. They are disowned aspects of your personality — often formed in childhood when you learned which emotions were safe and which threatened connection.

When you were young, you likely made unconscious decisions like:

  • “If I express anger, I won’t be loved.”

  • “If I show weakness, I’ll be rejected.”

  • “If I fail, I’ll disappoint everyone.”

So you buried those parts.

Shadow work is the process of bringing them back into awareness — with compassion.

 

Final Thoughts: Turn On the Light

Shadow work isn’t glamorous.

It’s quiet.
It’s uncomfortable.
It’s deeply personal.

But it is liberating.

You don’t need to dive into every wound overnight.

Start small.

Notice one trigger this week.
Write one honest sentence.
Offer one hidden part compassion.

The parts of you that scare you most
may be the ones waiting to set you free.

Common Spirit Totems: Signs That Follows You!

  Common Spirit Totem Signs: What Do You See Every Day, and What Is Spirit Trying to Tell You? Have you ever noticed the same animal, number, symbol, or even a random object appearing over and over again in your daily life? Whether it's a crow on the fence, repeating numbers on the clock, or a feather on your path, these could be more than coincidences—they could be signs from your spirit totem. In many spiritual traditions, especially Native American and shamanic practices, a totem is a spiritual symbol—often an animal or natural element—that offers guidance, protection, or messages. But you don’t need to embark on a vision quest to receive these messages. Often, spirit speaks to us in the rhythms of our everyday lives. 1. Animals: Messengers of Instinct and Energy Animals are among the most common spirit totems. Each one carries its own unique spiritual symbolism. Crows or ravens – These are often messengers between worlds. Seeing them repeatedly can be a sign of transfor...

Disturbing Dreams: When Nightmares Feels Real

-
    Have you ever had a vivid dream, haunt you long after you had experienced it, well I had a few of those. Some dreams, can be scary, and strange,   In fact, they cross into territory that feels almost... otherworldly — as if the dream itself leaves a mark on your soul. One dream, in particular, still lingers in my mind like a shadow I can’t shake off. In this dream, I saw a woman — pale, almost ghost-like, with long black hair that shimmered like wet ink under a dim, invisible light. She stood motionless at first, her hollow eyes locked onto mine. Then, without warning, she reached into her mouth and began pulling. Strand after strand of her own hair spilled from between her lips, cascading down her chest and pooling at her feet. She didn’t flinch. She didn’t blink. She just kept pulling, an endless flow of black hair, as if something deep inside her needed to be purged. I stood frozen, both horrified and mesmerized, feeling like I had stumbled into a private ritua...

💦 Kitchen Chaos: The Day I Fought the Faucet (and Lost)

-
  You ever have one of those mornings where everything feels just right ? That was me today. The sun was streaming through the window, my coffee was strong and smooth, and the house was so peaceful you could almost hear the good vibes humming in the background. I had already ticked off a few things from my morning to-do list, and I remember thinking, “Wow, maybe today’s going to be one of those productive, everything-falls-into-place kind of days.” Famous last words, right? After breakfast, I decided to wash a few dishes — nothing major, just the usual mugs and plates. I turned on the faucet, rolled up my sleeves, and started scrubbing away. It was calm, kind of therapeutic… until it wasn’t. 🚿 The Moment Everything Went Off the Rails Somehow, I must have pressed the wrong button or angled the hose just so, because in a split second, my calm kitchen turned into a splash zone. The sprayer went wild — honestly, it felt alive — and before I could react, there was water everywher...
