3: Self-Reflection | Dancing With Your Cosmic Shadow

At some point, I had to stop looking outside of myself and start looking within.This episode is about the shadow and shadow work. The parts of you that were pushed down, dismissed, or made to feel unsafe. I explain what shadow work means and how these hidden parts often begin forming in early childhood, around six or seven years old.I share how I learned to link love with achievement and how I buried my emotional sensitivity to feel accepted. Those repressed parts did not disappear. They moved into the background and quietly drove my choices.When we hide parts of ourselves, we start to feel disconnected. Life can feel dull, like something is missing. Shadow work is about bringing those fragmented pieces of our soul back together so that we can live fully and authentically. Our shadow often holds the parts of us that are most true and powerful. So we don’t run from the darkness because it is an integral and necessary season, just as is Winter, that we must move through to come home to our light. It is a place where real healing begins, a gestation point that is nurtured by the darkness of the feminine womb.☽ I TALK ABOUT:What shadow work is and why it mattersCarl Jung and the psychology of the shadowHow childhood wounds shape our unconscious patternsThe connection between self-worth and emotional repressionSoul fragmentation, Shamanic soul retrieval, and coming back to wholenessDark feminine energy and the power of Winter and the voidAstrology as a tool for self-reflection〰️ ABOUT ME, KIRSTEN STOCKTONI’m a mother, intuitive, and soul guide who supports women navigating identity shifts, emotional healing, and feminine awakening.
