Down With My Demons: The Shadow Work Path
The Shadow of Self-Care: New Age Narcissism and Leaning In To Connect
This week's material was surprisingly edgy as I expose an element of shadow being cast by the self-care industry. This episode I discuss the ego-feeding problems with publicizing self-care and it's use in avoiding other's needs or any of our fears and discomforts. I talk about how I've been avoiding uncomfortable situations and conversations and how I came to realize how much that was hurting my ability to cope. Finally, we dive into the joys of facing our fears and utilizing staying with our discomfort as a radical act of self-care which inevitably leads to connection and intimacy. Please subscribe, share, and leave a review if you like the episode! I hope this content leads to greater feelings of belonging and connection in all of your lives. Thank you for being here, enjoy, and see you next time!
