How to Identify Shadows | A Practical Guide

If you’d like to receive shadow prompts, voice notes, and early work-in-progress reflections, I’ve opened a WhatsApp Community.

The space is quiet, intentional, and open.

In this video, I walk you through a grounded, compassionate process for identifying your shadow material. We’ll look at what shadows are, how they show up in daily life, and what to do once they begin to surface.

You’ll learn to recognise shadows through:

– Triggers in relationships

– Judgments and projections

– Recurring emotional patterns

– Dreams and symbolic inner experiences

– Self-critical inner dialogue

– Repeated feedback from others

Once you begin to identify a shadow, the invitation is not to fix it — but to meet it. I’ll guide you through how to begin that process gently: journaling, inquiry, noticing, and even writing a love letter to the parts of you you’ve tried to hide.

Clear 15 minutes, bring your journal, and come as you are.

The door is open.

Come inside.
