Embracing the Shadow with Nancy Levin
In this episode
I’M RETURNING WITH NANCY LEVIN.
Nancy and I dive into the depths of shadow work and its transformative power. As I reflect on my own journey with her book and meditations, I’m struck by how essential this work is for unlocking our gifts and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve disowned. Nancy shares her own experience of how a personal crisis became the catalyst for embracing shadow work, revealing how our shadow can create chaos when left unattended. She emphasizes the importance of telling ourselves the truth and recognizing how our shadow shows up, often in unexpected ways.
We also explore the relationship between shadow and gift, discussing how qualities we reject in ourselves often manifest in others, serving as mirrors for our own growth. Nancy’s insights into embracing both sides of ourselves—whether it’s being self-sufficient and needy, or a perfectionist and a mistake maker—highlight the importance of wholeness and integration. Her wisdom and personal experience shine through, making it clear that shadow work is not just about healing but also about reclaiming our full power and potential.

Now it’s time to commit to a grounded action:
What is one baby step you can take in that direction?
