The Dark Side: How Self-Acceptance Makes Transformation and Healing Possible
Show Notes

Dive deep into the labyrinth of self in this illuminating episode as we venture to the darkest corners of our psyche and learn the importance of accepting every part of ourselves. Drawing inspiration from Joseph Campbell's iconic "hero's journey," we explore the profound challenges and ultimate triumphs one encounters when pursuing inner transformation. Just like I discovered the profound challenges of battling insomnia, while drawing meaningful insights out of the Star Wars series Ahsoka at 2:00am in the morning.  Which is how I got the idea for Tiff and I’s discussion for this episode actually.  But I digress.  Anyway, we will take a confronting look through the lens of Carl Jung's revolutionary work on the shadow self, uncovering the pivotal role of self-acceptance in the healing and transformative process.

But the journey doesn't end there. While willpower can be the driving force
propelling us forward, there are moments when it's essential to pause,
surrender, and simply be in gratitude. How do we find the delicate balance
between pushing ahead and yielding in acceptance? Join us as we delve into
these existential questions, offering insights, anecdotes, absurd commentary, and practical tools for those eager to embark on their personal odyssey to wholeness and the discovery of our authentic selves.   

Enjoy
