What We’ve Sacrificed to Stay Safe and the Courage to Peer Beneath the Waterline
Manage episode 484551919 series 3506694
Karine shares a story from childhood about visiting her grandmother’s house where she encountered the heavy, unspoken tensions that would shape a lifelong commitment to shadow work. This reflection weaves personal memory with a deeper exploration of the cost of avoiding the shadow—those edges-places we’ve been taught to fear in ourselves, our families, and our social worlds. It explores what we sacrifice when we choose not to go to those places, and how this avoidance slowly distances us from intimacy, creativity, and our own aliveness.
This mini-sode is an invitation and a gentle push toward the edges where healing and transformation await.
