About this listen

In this deeply personal and paradigm-shifting episode, Kristina introduces the Inner Villain Transformation System—a shadow work model that synthesizes IFS, Human Design, the Enneagram, and primal wound theory into a single, coherent system. With co-host Anna, she explores how maladaptive patterns (like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome) aren’t isolated quirks but interconnected arcs of transformation. Each “villain” isn’t something to banish, but a gateway to your most powerful legend self.


Whether you resonate with Regina George, Darth Vader, or Nurse Ratched, this episode gives you a mythic yet grounded framework for recognizing and alchemizing your deepest inner patterns—one archetype at a time.


Topics Covered:


  • The origin story of the Inner Villain system
  • Why maladaptive patterns show up in clusters
  • How the nine villains align with Human Design centers and Enneagram types
  • The concept of “negations” (deep limiting beliefs) and how they point to core villain archetypes
  • The development of the oracle deck and game
  • Understanding the arc: Pinnacle Villain → Sub-Villains → Hero → Legend
  • Inversion as the key spiritual movement (inspired by yoga, polarity, and karmic unwinding)
  • How gameplay and roleplay deepen awareness of inner dynamics
  • Disney character analogs for each Enneagram/villain archetype pairing


Inner Villain Archetypes Introduced:

  • Type 1: Obedient Critic → Legend Form: Equalizer

Key Quotes:


  • “You don’t need to become a better person. You need to become better at change.”
  • “Villains are like pendulums—when we’re stressed, we swing into their worst form. When we’re grounded, we move toward the hero.”
  • “These aren’t parts. They’re entire universes.”
  • “You don’t jump stars—you invert the spin. That’s the hero moment.”
  • “Everyone has all nine villains. The goal is self-love across every domain of your life.”
