#10 | The Monsters Within | Facing Your Shadow Side This Halloween
from Un-Shuck Yourself · host Corpus Christi Originals
Every Halloween, we dress up like monsters — but what if the real monsters aren’t in haunted houses or under the bed, but inside us? In this Halloween special of Un-Shuck Yourself, host Ben DeLeon dives into the darkness within — jealousy, bitterness, anger, fear — and why denying these emotions only feeds them. Ben explores Carl Jung’s concept of the “shadow self,” the side of us we try to bury, and shows how real growth comes not from avoiding it, but from facing it. With empathy and reflection, Ben helps you look your inner monster in the eye, understand its pain, and reclaim your power. Because every hero has a dark side — and real strength comes from integration, not denial. ️ Un-Shuck Yourself is a self-help series from the Corpus Christi Originals Network, produced by Recycle Corn Podcast.
