Shadow work is a great way to explore what happens when our need to be liked keeps us from being real.In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph begin with a literal light-and-shadow practice and move into the deeper truth of emotional shadow work: what we hide to stay safe. Georgianna shares a powerful story about her son saying he wanted to “saw his brother in half” — and how meeting that truth with compassion revealed what all humans need when we’re at our most raw. Steph reflects on her own learned “niceness” and how she used intellectual kindness to cover frustration and fear, creating emotional dissonance and disconnection.Together, they explore how people-pleasing and palatability develop as protective strategies, how they block intimacy, and how self-awareness turns those patterns into power. From relationships to parenting to personal growth, they show what it really means to be fully human — not just polite.Discover how:Niceness can become a mask that hides our needsShadow work reveals the light we’ve hidden to stay safeReal connection grows when we stop performing “fine”"Like finding gold." – Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." – Sanjeev B.LIVE training & practice programs:wholeheartedloving.comGet our self-compassionate body-based toolkitEvery episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

Steph reflects on her childhood training to “help by fixing,” how she swung to the other extreme of never offering input, and what balance feels like now.Together they reveal how nitpicking acts as low-grade fight energy, how compassion turns critique into connection, and how letting people win with you makes relationships feel safe again — for both sides.Discover how:Awareness turns criticism into choice and trustNitpicking reveals unspoken fight energy ready to moveEase and connection grow when you practice seeing what’s working"Like finding gold." – Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." – Sanjeev B.LIVE training & practice programs:wholeheartedloving.comGet our self-compassionate body-based toolkitEvery episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

Steph reflects on how a simple awareness of “frowny face” energy changed the dynamic in her past relationship, and how noticing what we transmit opens space for intentional choice.Together, they explore the spectrum of energy from “love hubs” to protective blockers, why both are human and valid, and how practices like Metta (loving kindness) let us extend care to others even when we’re alone.

Georgianna tells the story of a gym session where she asked for deep pressure support to create a nervous system reset.
