ABOUT THE PODCAST

Where Healing Begins in the Shadows

The Shadow Sessions is more than a podcast—it's a sacred space for the conversations we've been too afraid to have. Here, we explore the depths of human experience: trauma, addiction, shame, and the transformative power of shadow work.

Each episode brings raw, unscripted conversations with guests who have walked through their own darkness and emerged with wisdom to share. No performance. No pretense. Just truth.
