Women are bombarded with so many messages every day about who to be, how to look and what their lives should look like. In the face of this culture, unbeknownst to most of us, the parts of us that we don't like, that don't match up, that feel unlovable, that aren't "ideal" or "put together" go into hiding, in the shadows.
So many women wear masks and become silouettes of themselves, trying to leave behind what is unacceptable or thought unworthy of love.
The problem is all that shadowy stuff doesn't go anywhere. When you leave some parts of you behind, you are not living fully. You are not bringing all of you. It all stays there, outside of conscious awareness and runs little sabotaging schemes to get attention. This includes your business. The good news is that there is wisdom in your shadow. When a woman learns the wisdom language of her shadow, she connects to her vital feminine essence and thrives.
How to recognize your shadow in your business?
- Where are the places you repeatedly get stuck?
- What are the ways you get the most frustrated with your work?
- Are there times your inner critic gets really loud when you are working?
Getting down with your shadow doesn't have to be super dark. These are just the places that need a little extra light shined on them to help you heal whatever is there and get you unstuck.
