Your shadow doesn’t want to destroy you,
it wants to reveal you.
The parts you were told to hide; you did to survive.
The truth you buried, because you needed to be seen as “good.” (That people pleasing is real folks! Especially as a woman. I said what I said.)
Shadow work isn’t “dark.” Even if it feels like you’re being swallowed whole in the darkness.
It’s saying: “I see you, even here!” Then facing it head on. Ugly Truths.
Your shadow might look like:
— the jealousy you shame
— the anger you suppress
— the people-pleasing you mistake for love
— the numbness that used to keep you safe
— the part of you that pushes people away before they can leave.
It shows up when you’re triggered.
When you want to run.
When you feel “too much” or “not enough.”
But here’s the antidote….
Your shadow is a MESSENGER. I cannot stress this enough!! This is the KEY. To heal, to manifest, to do ALLLLLLL the things. Because you can’t do and have all those things without becoming WHOLE!! (I mean maybe you can. But not to the extent of feeling what that means. Of what it feels like to fu***ng love yourself and your life!)
To heal it, you must face it.
And it feels like BU****IT!! But here’s some questions to get you started. ⬇️
Where did I first learn this pattern?
What was I trying to protect?
What does this part of me need now?
You are not broken.
You are becoming whole.
