On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is speaking to one of the most important facets of our path here at Team Secret Witch - liberating your soul’s unconscious shadow.  She explores how real, deep shadow work is often the missing piece of the puzzle in becoming a true, heart-led Feminine healing leader, and serving your soul gifts to the world. In this episode we dive into all things shadow work and wound healing, explaining how the Witch Wound is one of the big collective shadows that needs self-healing for you to live the life your soul came here for - and how your unique gift is hiding in your deepest wound.   What You’ll Learn from this Episode: True deep shadow work is the secret solution to creating *everything* your heart longs for - for witches, it’s what unlocks their capacity to discover their gifts and create a legitimate business as a heart-led, Feminine healing leader The thing about shadow is, it is unconscious and really confronting to face - and you also get a hella lot of kinky pleasures from being in it.  This makes shadow challenging to spot easily by ourselves - which can be hard to work with; the deep work is to make what’s unconscious conscious so you can reclaim your power Unless you’re doing the deep self-healing work of illuminating your unconscious shadow patterns and loving your little girl’s shame so that you can reclaim your soul’s wholeness, you are NOT integrating - even though you may have been taught that you are, by those ‘goddess lite’ paths which often play archetypal dress up and call it shadow work One of the core shadow wounds for a Witch is that of the Witch Wound - about self-expression (which is required to heal to discover your medicine) Your deepest wound contains your gifts - so you have to be willing to go into your shadow to heal yourself, in order to discover your true soul purpose - and serve your gifts into the world Self-healing yourself of shadow is necessary for you AND others - you can’t serve your spiritual gifts with integrity without having integrated and healed your own shadow (and no one can do that for you, either!)
