You’ve been praised for your strength. For holding it all. For being the one who never breaks.
But beneath the “strong woman” mask… is a body screaming for softness, a heart aching to be witnessed, and a soul tired of surviving.
In this opening episode, we unravel the cost of carrying it all. We descend into the sacred shadow—where grief, rage, and unspoken desire live. And we remember: true power isn’t found in perfection. It’s born in your unapologetic, embodied truth.
We explore:
The performance of strength and the shadow it hides
How your body and nervous system hold the suppressed
Astrology’s role in shadow work: Pluto, the 12th House, and Lilith
A journal prompt to begin your descent
This isn’t weakness—it’s reclamation.
Welcome home to your wild.
🎧 Listen now and begin your descent.
