088: Valerie Inez Talks Self-Limiting Beliefs

Welcome to the first episode in the Costa Rica Creators Series, featuring my fellow TikTok creators that I met at a life-changing retreat in Costa Rica. Have you noticed how your self-limited beliefs hold you back? Are you interested in exploring your triggers? Have you had enough with people pushing your buttons? Do you want to heal from past traumas? If you answered yes to any of these questions, what you need is shadow work. Your shadow is the darker parts of you that you try to hide or that you may not even realize exist. Maybe it was something that happened to you, or something you did, or something someone told you can’t or shouldn’t do. We all exist in duality, carrying the positive and the negative with us. In this first episode of my new series, I’m chatting with my friend Valerie, an intuitive and a healer, about shadow work. We’re talking about how your shadow affects all aspects of your life, why it’s important to acknowledge it, and how to heal so that you can prioritize your needs and live as your authentic self.  Valerie’s new book, Embrace Your Shadow, beautifully guides you with prompts and energy healing modalities. Shadow work is an incredibly transformative technique on the path to healing. What’s in this episode: Learning what your shadow is and the ways that it can manifest Why it’s important to address shadow work (so it doesn’t run your life) How your shadow aspects influence all parts of your life How acknowledging your shadow and why it exists helps you live authentically An example of a prompt from Valerie’s book, Embrace Your Shadow, and how it can help you with your own shadow work Why showing up for yourself makes you a better version of yourself as well as a better parent, friend, etc. How your shadow can hide your inherent talents How energetic healing techniques give you a variety of ways to drop into your body and begin to heal What Valerie is looking forward to most about co-hosting the GLOW Retreat with me Why being vulnerable and moving on doesn’t have to be scary For full show notes, resources, and links, head to: https://www.meredythwillits.com/podcast Are you ready to go deeper?
