Down With My Demons: The Shadow Work Path
Down With My Demons is a podcast for people who are ready to stop spiritually bypassing, turn toward their pain, and build a more honest relationship with themselves.
Together, we explore shadow work: all the parts of us we’ve hidden, exiled, or learned to be ashamed of. Through storytelling, depth psychology, trauma-informed insight, and intimate conversations with guests, we look at the raw, uncomfortable material of being human: grief, rage, desire, shame, longing, burnout, and everything in between.
This is a space where:
- No parts are bad parts – every emotion and pattern is seen as meaningful and workable.
- We connect dots between your personal story and larger systems (family, culture, capitalism, patriarchy, colonization).
- Nervous system + soul work meet – we talk about the brain, body, and psyche, and how to actually integrate change instead of just talking about it.
- Big topics are named out loud – complex trauma, addiction, pleasure, power, money, sex, spirituality, and the collective grief of living in uncertain times.
I’m Chloe Lionheart – a doctoral candidate in clinical depth psychology, therapist, researcher, and longtime befriender of my own shadows. I don’t come as a guru, but as a fellow human who’s been cracked open and is still learning. Expect real talk, tenderness, and basking in raw humanness.
If you’re:
- tired of self-help that skips over the hard parts,
- craving language for what you feel but can’t quite name,
- longing for companionship on the path of becoming…
…then this show is for you.
Come sit by the fire, bring your demons, and let’s find out what they’ve been trying to tell you about the life you actually deserve to live.

Let Go or Be Dragged - Bringing Awareness to What No Longer Serves Us with Greg Kondor
This was such a sweet episode with my dear brother, Kondor where we unpacked the Zen Buddhist proverb, "Let Go or Be Dragged." In this episode we loosely discuss the energies being felt at this time, how we are experiencing, and what it means to be getting dragged by our attachments to what is no longer working for us. We dive deeply into each of our experience’s of needing to let go and how we are navigating their lessons. Lastly, we discuss how we are caring for ourselves.This episode gets sweeter and sweeter as time goes on so make sure to listen all the way through. There is a musical gift from Kondor at the end you wont want to miss! Thank you so much for listening. Please subscribe, share, and leave us a review. Enjoy and see you next time.

Quote by Sarah L. Brown:
"You hold on because you are glued. You hold on because there was rapture, reverie, and ecstasy. You hold on because to not hold on, is to release your grip on the emotional life support system you think he has been. You hold on because you believe if you hold on long enough, the dazed and glazed existence you have been living will reverse to rapture. The nightmare will then become the dream. The stupor will become the high of the intensity. You hold on because you believe you can't let go."

Nature's Healing Song: By Greg Kondor
Walking in Nature I see how I’m to be
Vibrating with the elements in perfect harmony
Walking with Nature I see how it’s to be
Communing with Gods Angels receiving blessings
Feel the Earth beneath your feet
Let the Wind kiss your skin
Let go of your burdens
Let the healing begin
Walking in Nature I see how I’m to be
Vibrating with the elements in perfect harmony
Walking with Nature I see how it’s to be
Communing with Gods Angels receiving blessings
Embrace the fires of the Sun
Hear rivers rush to the Sea
When you learn to just Be
Everything become
