This week we are unpacking Dopamine! This is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days and this episode is devoted to the continued exploration of understanding how our brains and bodies work in conscious and unconscious ways. Inside, we learn about what dopamine is, where it is, what it does, and how that might play out in our lives. Part of the shadow work experience is first learning to be aware of ourselves and our many systems, before we can take further steps. Once we are more cognizant of ourselves, next comes learning to show ourselves compassion for our humanness and starting on the path of making necessary shifts. Please like, subscribed, leave a review, and SHARE! I hope you enjoy the episode and look forward to being with you in there. Till next time...
