Have you ever heard someone say “you need to do your shadow work” and wondered what that really means? Or maybe you’ve tried and felt stuck not knowing where to begin?
In this episode, Melanie Stevens is a spiritual teacher and course creator, she shares about how she went from corporate HR manager to building a soulful online teaching platform. We explore how intuitive nudges led her to Reiki, tarot, and ultimately teaching what she’s learned on Udemy. From there, we dig into what shadow work actually is, how it shows up in your life, and why self-love isn’t as simple as it sounds. Melanie shares how to start doing this inner work gently—with simple journaling, self-reflection, and compassion. We also talk about practical ways to raise your vibration, how to connect with your intuition, and how tools like tarot and oracle cards can support your personal growth. Toward the end, we even dive into spirit guides—who they are and how to connect with them.
If you’ve ever felt like your inner world needs some attention, this one’s for you. Tune in and let’s talk about how transformation really happens.

“You weren’t born afraid of confrontation. You weren’t born a people pleaser. You became that.”
