Episode Ten: The Monsters Within

This Halloween season, we’re getting introspective—and a little spooky. Sam dives into the “monsters” inside us: the fears, impulses, habits, and emotions we often try to hide. From Carl Jung’s shadow self to pop culture monsters (Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein, Coraline, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), this episode explores how our inner darkness can be guides, teachers, and sometimes just hilariously relatable parts of being human. 🌀
