Have you ever felt shocked at how strongly you react to something? Feeling stuck in the same patterns you know don’t serve you?  Well it may be your Shadow at work.  And understanding your shadows leads to transformation and sets you free.  The path to that freedom lies in the parts of yourself you've been ignoring. Joining me in this Language of Love Conversation is the amazing business consultant and psychotherapist Kristan Sargeant. Together, we dive into a fascinating conversation about the shadow—those hidden parts of ourselves shaped by societal pressures and intense experiences. It’s incredible how these buried aspects can impact our lives in unexpected ways.  Kristan breaks down the whole concept of Shadow, explaining how it forms and why it's so important to bring it out into the light. We even do a mini shadow session with a my producer, Sam! Kristan also shares some of her own personal insights and gives tips on how to build a relationship with your shadow for some serious personal growth and transformation. This is what we explore: What is shadow and shadow work? Practical steps for engaging with the shadow to stop negative patterns  How to negotiate with your shadow and consistently show up for it The importance of shadow wisdom Remember to check out The Tools: 5 Tools to Help You Find Courage, Creativity, and Willpower--and Inspire You to Live Life in Forward Motion by Phil Stutz and Barry Michaels for insights on Shadow work.
