Shownotes
Michael and Russell confront the concept of the shadow self, challenging the notion that it is something to be feared or eradicated. They talk about the hidden influence of shadow beliefs on our daily actions. Plus how core wounds, often instilled in childhood, drive behaviors and shape our reality. They explain how important shadow work is, offering the Triple A approach—Awareness, Acknowledgement, Action—as a method to understand and heal these deep-seated beliefs. Michael and Russell are armoring you with information about how recognizing and addressing the shadow can lead to personal growth and a better life!
