What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding aren’t broken—but the very key to your healing? In this transformative episode on shadow work and self-healing, Christine René and Chantel Ochoa reveal why shadow work isn’t about battling your “dark side,” but instead learning to love, accept, and integrate the hidden aspects of yourself.

Christine shares a vulnerable story about her own shadow activation around body image, showing how most shadows form before age eight as protective mechanisms. From there, you’ll be guided through a powerful 5-step shadow work process designed to help you heal and integrate your shadows:
✨ Recognize triggers with self-awareness
✨ Meet patterns with curiosity instead of judgment
✨ Practice radical self-acceptance with accountability
✨ Alchemize old beliefs into new possibilities
✨ Integrate through conscious routines and emotional regulation

You’ll also learn how shadows commonly show up in everyday life—through grief, addictions, people-pleasing, escapism, or emotional reactivity—and how compassion can transform them from destructive cycles into sources of wisdom and strength.

If you’ve been curious about shadow work, trauma healing, or spiritual awakening, this episode reframes shadow work as a path to wholeness, resilience, and emotional freedom. You’ll walk away with practical tools and spiritual insight to support your healing journey and reclaim the energy that has been trapped in old patterns.

Whether you’re new to shadow work or seeking deeper integration, this conversation will help you move beyond self-sabotage and step into a life rooted in authenticity, self-love, and inner power.
