What is Shadow Work? Intellectual Wellness - with expert guest A’sha Love | Ep 226 05/14/2026

What is Shadow Work? Intellectual Wellness - with expert guest A’sha Love | Ep 226 Are you tired of trying to "fix" yourself? A’sha Love joins us to explain why Shadow Work is the intellectual key to reclaiming your whole-self and soul remembrance. In this week's episode of Women Connected in Wisdom, Christine and guest host Sacil Armstrong are joined by A’sha Love - a multidimensional guide, metaphysician, and author of the best-selling book Love Is the Foundation. A’sha’s journey into deeper alignment began in 2008 after a profound metaphysical awakening, and she has since guided thousands of seekers through transformational soul-level healing. We explore the Intellectual Wellness dimension by redefining how we view our internal "shadows." Often misunderstood as a process of repair, A’sha reframes shadow work as soul retrieval - learning to love what has been hidden so we can deconstruct old masks and reclaim our truth. If you have felt stuck in performance-based roles or are ready to expand your consciousness, this conversation offers a whole-self path to inner freedom. Women Connected in Wisdom is a community-driven podcast hosted by Christine and Shannon, where we explore the 8 Dimensions of Wellness to help you live a more balanced, purposeful life.

In this powerful Environmental Wellness conversation, Lisa will share insights from her new book, Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, where she will reveal: • Why modern women feel buried in invisible work • The truth about “adult self-care” (it’s NOT bubble baths) • How systems reduce mental clutter • Why “Swiss Cheese Organizing” doesn’t work • How the Sunday Basket system pulls you out of overwhelm • Why organizing your personal spaces first changes everything As Lisa says in Escaping Quicksand, “Organization is an outward manifestation of the inner organization of a person.” Environmental wellness isn’t just about nature - it’s about the environment you live in every day.
