Shadow Work, Dating Yourself & Growth with Carlos De La Playa

Today I had the honor of having my mischievous king Carlos on the Podcast.  As a content creator, blogger and life coach, Carlos is the biggest support system when it comes to feeling at home with yourself and, as he says, "living your personal mythology and activating your main quest of life".     Wisdom and jokes is our main cup of tea at all times. Carlos explains what "shadow work' means and how it's simply bringing the unconscious to the conscious and changing your relationship with it.  Every experience will help aid you in your growth if you let it.  Nothing is "bad" or "good" when it comes to emotions.  It's simply asking your emotions questions to gracefully maneuver them and understand them to better understand who you are.   We dive deep into shadow work, emotions, boundaries, toxicity, self-discovery and much more while drinking a yummy cabernet-malbec blend from Argentina.   Tune in with a glass of wine… you don't want to miss this one!   1:15 - Intro to Carlos De La Playa 2:25 - How me and Carlos met 4:55 - Taste like luxury 5:55 - Mid range price point for today's wine 6:45 - Shadow work… what is it 7:20 - Foundation to healing the mind, body & spirit 8:50 - Invite the monster to the table 11:20 - Date yourself 12:10 - Boundaries 14:30 - Taking things personally 15:15 - F*ck around & find out 17:00 - Mistakes bring you closer to what you want 17:30 - Besties with "shame" 18:25 - Survival based action 19:17 - Failing is part of succeeding 21:00 - Listen to your intuition 23:30 - Dating exposes you 25:20 - Hug the monster 27:20 - It's ok to "suck" 28:45 - Meet insecurity with devotion     Today's wine: 2021 Cabernet-Malbec Rutini $22 GET THIS WINE      Connect with Carlos on IG @carlosdelaplaya    Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast   Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale    Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
