Embracing Your Shadow: The True Path to Self-Love
Episode Overview
True self-love involves embracing all parts of yourself, even the hidden ones. Understanding personal triggers can lead to significant personal growth. Acknowledging emotions like anger and jealousy is crucial for healing. Societal beliefs can impact our self-worth and should be questioned. Forgiveness is essential for freeing ourselves from past wounds. 
The tears that don't flow through our eyes will find another organ to weep from.

In this engaging episode of 'Happiness Is An Inside Job', Lynda Emmett guides us through the lesser-known territory of self-love—our shadow selves. It's not all rainbows and butterflies, folks!

Lynda explains how acknowledging these hidden aspects can be a radical act of self-love.
By integrating these shadow parts, we can break free from self-sabotage and live more authentically. She shares personal anecdotes, like her own road rage epiphany, to illustrate how understanding our triggers can lead to profound personal growth. Through a mix of humour and honesty, Lynda encourages listeners to have a heart-to-heart with their inner child and ask those tough questions: What do you need? Why are you feeling this way?
This episode is a gentle reminder that true self-love means accepting every part of ourselves, even the ones we don't want to admit exist. So, why not take a moment to shine a light on your shadows and see what they have to teach you?
