What 5 Years of Shadow Work *ACTUALLY* Looks Like 🫣
About this episode
So… what actually happens when you commit to shadow work for real?
In this episode, I reflect on the last 5 years of doing deep unconscious work — the kind that changes your entire life, nervous system, sexuality, body, intuition, relationships… all of it. This isn’t some fluffy “just journal and light a candle” version of healing. This is what it actually looks like to unravel your trauma, identity, addictions, and ego defenses and rebuild from the soul up.
I talk about how becoming a dominatrix unexpectedly saved my life, what a Kundalini awakening did to my brain, and why shadow work gave me better orgasms. I also share how I finally stopped self-abandoning, started trusting myself, and built a life I couldn’t even imagine five years ago.
If you’re in the thick of it, this episode is for you. There is another side — and it’s better than your ego can dream up.
