Are you operating in the Light or the Dark?

from Emotional Badass · host Nikki Eisenhauer

Archetypes carry light and shadow attributes that show up in your daily life. The Companion brings loyalty until it betrays confidences or loses identity in codependency. The Samaritan helps people you'd ignore until they're recording good deeds for social media validation. Servants give freely until they're carrying people with functional legs, building resentment. Mentors refine character until they stomp on students who surpass them. The Avenger balances justice until righteousness becomes cancel culture. Shadow work isn't optional because rainbow-and-bunnies healers miss half the human experience.
