Have you ever wondered what hidden parts of yourself might be holding you back from feeling fully alive and authentic?

Welcome to episode 19 of the Embodied: Step Into You Podcast with your hosts Paula Scatoloni and Leslie Rhyne. In this episode, Paula and Leslie discuss the transformative process of shadow work, a journey to embrace and heal the often-hidden parts of ourselves.

They begin by defining the "shadow"—not as something inherently negative, but as aspects we tend to avoid or overlook because they’re tough to face. Using insights from psychology and holistic practices, they outline four essential points about shadow work, explaining how it manifests both in our bodies and emotions.

Throughout the episode, Leslie and Paula share personal stories that shed light on how unprocessed emotions affect us, offering techniques for working through these shadows to reclaim blocked energy. By doing so, they highlight how shadow work can spark creativity, deepen connections, and foster authenticity. They close with a discussion on the importance of creating a safe, supportive environment for this work, emphasizing how shadow work extends beyond the individual to address generational and collective layers.
