771. Why coaches need shadow work -with Lucija Glagolic Hora

  In this episode, I speak with Lucija Glagolic Hora about coaching, shadow work, archetypes, and the role of hardship in human development. We explore how suffering, trauma, and uncertainty can deepen our humanity, why coaches need to engage with darkness as well as growth, and how real transformation often emerges through humility, vulnerability, and connection rather than positivity alone. We discuss the cultural lessons of the Balkans, including the relationship between hardship, humor, community, and resilience. Along the way, we examine shadow work, toxic positivity, archetypes as coaching tools, the psychology of change, and why acknowledging both our strengths and our darker potentials is essential for personal growth. We also explore the role of myth, symbolism, and embodied practice in helping people navigate life's transitions, develop greater self-awareness, and become more fully human. ------------------------------------------- Become a certified embodiment coach.
