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

- “You don’t jump stars—you invert the spin. That’s the hero moment.”
