This Spiritual Fix

Kristina and Anna unpack the Hungry Shapeshifter archetype, mapped to Enneagram 7, the Father Wound (self-worth, identity, power), and the Throat Center in Human Design. They explore how attention, identity shapeshifting, and voice become coping strategies, how this arc differs from the Vain Controller (3) and Eternal Child (4), and how it transforms into the Fabricator (Hero) and ultimately The Present (Legend). Pop-culture touchs...

Kristina and Anna unpack the Divisive Immortal: how fear of death and obsession with safety can calcify into division, control, and cult dynamics. They contrast the shadow with its healed counterpart, the Healer, and track common life patterns: catastrophizing, helicopter parenting, and outsourcing safety to authority. A live “Am I the A**hole?” read illustrates the archetype in family systems. The inversion path centers on meeting...

In this episode of This Spiritual Fix, Kristina and Anna dive deep into one of the most complex Inner Villains: The Evasive Expert.

Before diving in, Anna shares an unexpected update from her own life—how applying lessons from The Second Mouth changed something as simple (and overlooked) as how she pees. What begins as lighthearted banter becomes a surprising doorway into the episode’s theme: the tension between body, emotion, a...

In this episode, Kristina and Anna unpack one of the most deceptively charming villains in the Inner Villain system: the Eternal Child, also known as the Peter Pan archetype. From its origins as “Norman Bates” to the deep dive into J.M. Barrie’s surprisingly toxic Peter Pan, this conversation explores how the Eternal Child is rooted in the mother wound, thrives on confabulated reality, and resists the grounded action that real grow...

In this episode, we dive into the arc of the Vain Controller, the shadowy force behind performative success, image obsession, and the illusion of perfection. Known in our Inner Villain deck as Regina George (yes, that Regina George), this archetype reveals the ways we chase validation, status, and admiration—often at the cost of authenticity and trust.

We unpack:

• Why “people pleasing” is just one face of deeper shape-shif...

This episode introduces the Obedient Critic, a villain archetype rooted in the fear of humiliation and obsession with hierarchy and order. Kristina breaks down how this archetype develops in high-pressure environments where performance and perfection are rewarded—and how it can show up as a moral superiority that isolates the individual from authentic connection.

We explore the transformation journey from perfectionist and peopl...

In this deeply personal and paradigm-shifting episode, Kristina introduces the Inner Villain Transformation System—a shadow work model that synthesizes IFS, Human Design, the Enneagram, and primal wound theory into a single, coherent system. With co-host Anna, she explores how maladaptive patterns (like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome) aren’t isolated quirks but interconnected arcs of transformation. Each “vil...

How can we stop peeing wrong, work-out smarter (not harder), and stay strong into our 80s and beyond? In this powerhouse episode, Anna and Kristina return from a six-month hiatus to dive deep into women’s health, the revolutionary book The Second Mouth, and their own personal fitness transformations. You’ll learn why women shouldn’t work out like men, how posture fixes can happen in your car, and why Japanese interval walking might...

☉ Conscious Sun – Your Divine Invitation

Your conscious sun is the most important placement in your chart and is the “aim” the soul wants to experienc...
