Episode 198: The Secret Behind Shadow Work and Dark Feminine Energy with Becca Nicholls

When it comes to personal growth, there’s ALWAYS somewhere deeper you can go – but in order to do that, you’ve got to constantly push yourself out of your comfort zone and become the version of yourself who is going after it.

Today’s guest, Becca Nicholls, is a mindset and life transformation coach who specializes in darker and deeper areas of subconscious work, including shadow work and dark feminine energy.

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Have you ever had any of these “out-of-character” moments Becca talks about in this episode? What happened? Could it have been your shadow personality making an appearance?

What tools will you use next time to create more space between that emotion and your reaction?

“When anger is super, super suppressed within us – that's why we lash out. That's why we have out of character moments: because we can't control it. Because it's not a part of ourselves that we allow to be seen. So when you can actually start to have a healthy integration of lying, or a healthy integration of anger or frustration, or whatever it is, life becomes just a lot more enjoyable and a lot more neutral, because we don't have to go into those shame cycles that many of us tend to go into.” - Becca Nicholls

“When we are talking about the dark feminine, I really want you to bring to mind celebrities such as Rihanna, or Beyonce, or Megan Fox, or Angelina Jolie. These are really good representations of women who are in their dark feminine energy. When women are tapped into their dark feminine – and the dark feminine energy traits I really want to use are passionate, seductive, authentic, fearless, powerful, magnetic, fierce, transformational – when women are really tapped into that, they're so powerful. And when women are so powerful and standing in their power and standing in conviction of what they know, we are a threat to many, many structures in this world.” - Becca Nicholls
