When launching a new course or program, what you’re really doing is birthing a new version of yourself into the world.

229: Healing Your Archetypal Shadows
Bucci Radio
We don’t want to relate to darkness as bad or negative. As much as we want to be “high-vibe,” “positive” and “energetic matches” for that which we desire--repression of darkness only festers more darkness.

When we do ADDRESS and CONFRONT our shadow, we can then integrate it into our...
