This episode explore how the Shadow gets created.

Once we experienced ourselves as whole and complete until... we got afraid, overwhelmed, embarrassed, ashamed and withdrew parts of ourselves from our own radiant awareness.

These denials of self, these moments of judgment, insecurity, doubt, self sabotage pushed aspects of ourselves underground, int the background, into the unconscious.

And so the Shadow Realm was born and then added to with each subsequent act of self abandonment.

Welcome to Episode 2 ~ The Hero's Journey & Shadow Work.

I have been living with an awareness of the Hero's Journey for many many years and feel it offers such a useful map to remind us where we are in any moment of our Life journeys.

Our Life is one BIG adventure, a mystery unfolding. Sometimes we feel we are organising things, other times it feels we are being surprised with joys and pains seemingly outside of our control.

It seems to be the case, that living presents us with the possibility to learn and grow and simply to Be present, appreciative and to celebrate with Existence.

In this Podcast, I offer a detailed description of the Hero's / Heroine's Journey at each of it's stages and connect them to Shadow Work.

In a way we are learning to 'see' in the dark, guided by The Hero's inner maps.

I hope you enjoy this episode and learn more to look out and Love outwardly from the Hero/Heroine you are,

with Respect from Guy

You don’t stumble into Shadow Work because life is going well. You come here when something isn’t adding up, when you keep repeating the same patterns, hitting the same walls, and quietly realizing that somehow… you’re in your own way, but don’t know how to stop.

The Shadow Work Show isn’t here to tell you to “stay positive” or bypass the hard parts. This is where we go into it.

Shadow work is the art of turning toward what you’ve been running from suppressed emotions, buried shame, unmet needs, and the parts of you that never felt safe to be seen.

It’s not comfortable. But it is honest. And it’s where real change begins.

Each episode explores the hidden forces shaping your life: unconscious patterns, emotional triggers, relationship dynamics, and self sabotage. Not from a surface level lens, but from a place of depth, truth, and integration.

We go into:

* Why you procrastinate, numb out, or sabotage things that matter

* The deeper roots of anxiety, anger, jealousy, and emotional shutdown

* How childhood conditioning quietly runs your adult life

* The shadow side of relationships, money, purpose, and spirituality

* What it actually takes to break patterns, not just understand them

This isn’t about collecting insights you don’t use.It’s about doing the work that changes you.

Hosted by Transformational Coach and Course Creator Guy Barrington, the show blends psychological insight, emotional honesty, spiritual depth, and grounded, practical inner work.

These are conversations and teachings that meet you where you really are and guide you into deeper self awareness, embodiment, and integration.

Expect solo episodes that cut through the noise.

Honest, unfiltered conversations with people who’ve walked this path.

And guided practices that bring the work out of your head and into your body, where it actually lands.

If you’re ready to stop circling the same loops…

If you’re done pretending you’re “fine” when you’re not…

If you’re ready to meet yourself fully, without filters, you’re in the right place.
