Alchemizing The Shadow (Part One): The Shame Spiral

On this episode, Alyssa talks about her recent PhD graduation ceremony and how it was accompanied by a new layer of healing. Mikayla holds space for this deep realization Alyssa has about forgiving previous versions of herself that were going through addiction, self-hatred, and shame. They talk about the power of utilizing your previous pain to give others permission to have their current experience— and to help them through it. A major theme of this episode is the importance of radical self-forgiveness, even when we feel “unforgivable” in the moment of the shame spiral.
