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.

The Shadow of How We Eat: Coming Back Into Balance and Intention with Callie Cavanaugh
Callie Cavanaugh is a dear friend and a food inspiration in my life. Her "Eat In Method" has coalesced from years of experience and we touch on the path she took to come into balance with HOW and WHY intention with food matters. Through the laughter and story telling, we unpack food systems, different cultural views of food and nourishing with the ones we love, and how to cultivate more awareness in our lives. This episode leaves my heart feeling happy and inspired and I hope it does the same for yours. Callie has so many incredible resources, which I've included below. Please subscribe, like, follow, and share! If you have a desire to support the show more fully, please leave a written review. I hope you enjoy and see you next time.
