EP29: Building Confidence through Shadow Work

Confidence is built when we allow ourselves to be fully seen. What does that look like? Our childhood experiences translate into our adult expression—so many of us keep parts of ourselves locked away; the parts that were deemed ‘bad’, or ‘annoying’. This can stop us from truly living the life we feel called to, in case we are ‘too much’, ‘too annoying’, or called ‘selfish’. So how do we build our core confidence, as adults, to show up as our whole authentic selves? In this episode of the Untapped podcast, I discussed the concept of shadow work, the practice of integrating all parts of yourself, even the ones you keep hidden. The more shadow work we do, the more confidence we build, and the more dynamic we can be in our responses to the world. In this punchy episode, I discuss: The lie of faking it till you make it (it doesn’t work) Why what you don't own now, will own you in the future The times in life your ‘darkest’ traits should lead The dualities of shadow work bringing your whole self together Shadow work amplifying your light traits Engaging in shadow work with your partner Activations vs triggers and the language we use around confidence How to cultivate a deeper sense of self Curious to know more? 📚 Read Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford Ready for your next steps?
