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 Palestinian Perspective: A Conversation We Need
This special edition episode is a conversation, much needed on the global main stage. For too long, we here in America, have only ever heard one perspective on the Palestinian and Israeli conflict. We are very fortunate to hear from Ramzy, a Palestinian American Man, on the history of Palestinian culture, people, land, and how this conflict began. In this episode we dive deep into the weeds of the issues surrounding the atrocities currently plaguing Palestinian and Israeli citizens and work to shed light on the complexity of colonization. Finally, we are hearing a Palestinian perspective. One rooted in political awareness, understanding, and as much openness and vulnerability as possible. I am infinitely grateful to Ramzy for having this talk with me and I urge you to continue to challenge the media narratives fed to us when searching to understand larger conflicts such as these. Don't forget the words of Ghandi, who said, "An eye for an eye makes the world blind." May this episode bring greater awareness as far and wide as possible, so that we as global citizens, can empower ourselves with information enough to learn and start making whatever changes are needed to bring peace to this land for all. Sit back, open your heart, and enjoy this long overdue conversation. Please subscribe, like, share, and leave a review.
