Your Nervous System Has a Shadow Kink (And It Was Born Out of Love)

If you keep repeating the same patterns in relationships, money, work, or self-worth—this episode will change how you see yourself forever.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of Shadow Kinks—the unconscious instructions your nervous system formed out of love to keep you safe, connected, and alive… even when those instructions are now outdated and costing you what you actually want.

You’ll learn:

  • What a shadow kink really is (and why it’s not something to shame or “heal away”
  • How shadow kinks form from unmet needs + survival love
  • Why so much of the spiritual and healing world is actually stuck in spiritual bypassing
  • How shaming or blaming your patterns keeps them locked in place
  • Why integration—not “rising above”—is the real path to change

We explore two of the most common shadow kinks in depth:

  • The Fixer (including the “Good Girl” instruction)
  • The Hustler (where hustle = safety and rest feels dangerous)

You’ll also discover:

  • How shadow kinks show up in love, money, leadership, and the bosses you end up working for
  • The hidden superpowers each shadow kink contains
  • How awareness allows you to begin updating unconscious instructions—without force, fixing, or shame

This episode is not about becoming someone new.
 It’s about remembering who you were before survival ran the show.

✨ No spiritual cosplay.
✨ No emotional bypassing.
✨ Just awareness, integration, and embodied truth.
