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.

Sex Series: A ‘Not So Black and White’ Conversation About Consent with Lisa Chatham Part 2
WE'RE BACK!! Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. On this weeks episode we've got the second part to our interview with the legendary Lisa Chatham. We cover a lot of ground from consent with partners and owning our wanting, speaking boundaries, polyamory and consenting non-monogamy, what it means to be a hell yes, and much more. The conversation of consent is one we could have indefinitely, and we grappled with such ideas, as not being damaged goods as a survivor of sexual assault and what it might mean to have a somatic practice in order to get back into our bodies after long moments of dissociation. We are all worthy of excellent sexual experiences so press play and enjoy!
