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.

Heal the Patriarchy with Radiant Ransom
This episode is a sweet and beautiful unpacking of the patriarchy's impact on the life of Ransom and Chloe Lionheart. Ransom took us on the journey of his lived experience navigating "masculinity" and how his perspectives have shifted and evolved over time. His vision of "healing the patriarchy" comes to life in this episode and sheds light on a topic not often discussed in media. We discuss our stories, the impact of anima and animas, briefly unpacking the gender spectrum, and how to empower yourself and your community at large. What a blessing to have Ransom as a guest and even more blessed to hear his experience and how he is creating magic in the world. Please subscribe, follow, and share! I hope you enjoy, thank you for being here, and see you next time.
