Down With My Demons: The Shadow Work Path
Down With My Demons is a podcast for people who are ready to stop spiritually bypassing, turn toward their pain, and build a more honest relationship with themselves.
Together, we explore shadow work: all the parts of us we’ve hidden, exiled, or learned to be ashamed of. Through storytelling, depth psychology, trauma-informed insight, and intimate conversations with guests, we look at the raw, uncomfortable material of being human: grief, rage, desire, shame, longing, burnout, and everything in between.
This is a space where:
- No parts are bad parts – every emotion and pattern is seen as meaningful and workable.
- We connect dots between your personal story and larger systems (family, culture, capitalism, patriarchy, colonization).
- Nervous system + soul work meet – we talk about the brain, body, and psyche, and how to actually integrate change instead of just talking about it.
- Big topics are named out loud – complex trauma, addiction, pleasure, power, money, sex, spirituality, and the collective grief of living in uncertain times.
I’m Chloe Lionheart – a doctoral candidate in clinical depth psychology, therapist, researcher, and longtime befriender of my own shadows. I don’t come as a guru, but as a fellow human who’s been cracked open and is still learning. Expect real talk, tenderness, and basking in raw humanness.
If you’re:
- tired of self-help that skips over the hard parts,
- craving language for what you feel but can’t quite name,
- longing for companionship on the path of becoming…
…then this show is for you.
Come sit by the fire, bring your demons, and let’s find out what they’ve been trying to tell you about the life you actually deserve to live.
Down With My Demons: The Shadow Work Path
Debunking the Shadow of Saturn, Chiron, and Pluto with Natalia Benson
This episode is jam packed with wisdom about these specific astrological placements that give many of us the heebie jeebies. I'm a believer that fear in something is truly a misunderstanding of the thing itself, and this episode serves as a guide to the prismatic quality of these wonderful planetary guides. Natalia has wonderful analogies to explain how these placements show up in our charts and references alchemy, mysticism, and timeless archetypes to help us better digest. Both Natalia and I share personal anecdotes around how these planets show up in our charts and how we move with, through, and because of them. It was a really a special treat to have her on the show and I can't wait to hear what you all think. Please like, follow, share, and leave a review if you found this a helpful resource. I hope you enjoy and I'll see you all next time!
