WORK WITH YOUR SHADOW
UNCOVER WHAT YOU’VE HIDDEN. RECLAIM WHAT LIES BENEATH. BUILD A LIFE THAT IS RADICALLY YOURS.
A free, practical guide to radical self-leadership.
THE REAL SHADOW WORK
Shadow work isn’t discovering your “dark masculine” and posting a picture of yourself staring into the distance.
It means facing the parts of yourself you’d rather no one saw.
Your jealousy.
Your need for approval.
Your anger.
Your lies.
The ways you manipulate, avoid, control, or make yourself small to get love.
“EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS THE NEW STATUS QUO.”
Inner strength isn’t pretending you have everything under control.
It’s being able to face all of it without running away, justifying yourself,
or destroying yourself.
If you only work with the parts of yourself you like, you’re not doing shadow work.
You’re doing PR for yourself.
Shadow work begins when you stop asking who is to blame, find the courage to look in the mirror and ask:
WHO AM I?
This practice will help you recognize what is operating beneath the surface,
create order within yourself, take responsibility for how you respond, and reclaim your ability to choose your next move.
RADICALLY YOURS.
-
1 — RECOGNIZE THE RULES YOU INHERITED
Explore the experiences of rejection, shame, criticism and disconnection that taught you which parts of yourself you needed to hide in order to be accepted, stay safe or feel like you were enough.
-
2 — FACE THE VOICE THAT CONTROLS YOU
Recognize the voice that uses fear, pressure, or shame to keep you under control.
Understand what it is trying to protect, and stop obeying it automatically.
-
3 — RADICAL SELF-OWNERSHIP
Understanding without action will not transform your life.
Turn what you have discovered into a concrete decision:
Have the conversation.
Set the boundary.
Acknowledge what you need.
Take action.
TAKE YOUR POWER BACK.
