How Disillusionment, Shadow Work, and Integration Unlock Real Change

We’re told to reinvent ourselves, to shift identities, to “be delusional.” But here’s the truth: real transformation doesn’t begin with bypassing… it begins with disillusionment.

In this episode, Veronica explores why identity shifting often fails, why “being delusional” isn’t enough, and how shadow work and soul work open the doorway to authentic change. You’ll learn why trying to escape yourself only leads to repetition, and how meeting your wounds, patterns, and programming is the sacred first step to freedom.

Through insights from psychology, spirituality, and direct experience, this conversation invites you to stop running, face yourself fully, and discover how delusion — when rooted in disillusionment — can become a true vision.
