EPISODE #38 // Learning how to embrace your dark side.
Update: 2017-09-25
Description
Today's episode is all about our shadow self, or the dark parts of ourselves that we'd rather not acknowledge or shine a light on. Unfortunately, burying those qualities in the sand or turning away from our lesser liked qualities only makes them grow stronger and louder. So let's take a walk on the dark side and embrace the less positive aspects of our selves. Because the real question isn't whether you have a dark side, it's whether you acknowledge your dark side.
We’d love to hear from you!
