Episode 21: Healing Through Compassion, Not Perfection

There’s this moment in the episode where it really lands. The realization that the parts of you you’ve pushed away… aren’t the enemy. They’re the doorway back to your aliveness. And honestly? It hits you right in the chest because it’s so simple, but so rarely spoken.

This episode feels like sitting down with a friend who finally says the thing you’ve been dancing around your whole life: your shadow isn’t here to ruin you; it’s here to reunite you with yourself.

Inside, I share how I spent years being “the good girl,” the one who smiles, adapts and never rocks the boat. But as I unpack this, you start to see how that “good girl” archetype quietly disconnects you from half of who you are. Half of your power. Half of your truth.

Not because you’re weak… but because as children, our survival depended on being lovable before being authentic.

As we move into the darker season of the year, inward, emotional, nostalgic, messy, I guide you into a softer understanding of what “low frequency” actually means. Not something to avoid. Not something to fix. But something inside you that’s begging not to be abandoned again.

I bring it alive with the metaphor of two children: the joyful one and the upset one. And I ask you with the gentleness I bring to this work:

Why do we treat our own inner angry child in a way we’d never treat a real one?

From there, we move into the truth about frequency.

Your vibration doesn’t rise when you avoid the shadow.

It rises when you meet it with compassion.

I share a personal story about being triggered recently, and how, during a session with my therapist, I fell into an old wound tied to losing my father. And instead of trying to heal it away or fix it like before, I let myself hold it with compassion. That moment becomes the emotional centerpiece of the episode, a reminder that high frequency isn’t perfection; it’s presence.

By the end, you’ll feel more grounded, more forgiving with yourself, and honestly more human.

And I close with gentle, practical tools to help you stay connected during the holiday chaos: breath, mindfulness, movement, music, journaling, and practices that help you return inward instead of spiraling outward.

This episode is your permission slip to be whole. Shadow, light, everything.
