How Shadow Work Changed Everything
Five years ago, I thought mindset work was enough. I thought if I just 'stayed positive' and 'raised my vibration,' everything would shift. But no matter how much I journaled, visualized, or affirmed, I kept hitting the same walls.
💥 Self-sabotage.
💥 Procrastination.
💥 Cycles of burnout, over-giving, and people-pleasing.
And then I realized: You cannot “manifest” your way out of trauma.
You cannot “think positively” over deep, subconscious wounds.
The problem? I was skipping the shadow work.
When I finally stopped chasing surface-level healing and started integrating the parts of me that I had suppressed—the anger, the grief, the fear—I unlocked everything.
✨ My relationships became healthier.
✨ My work became more fulfilling.
✨ I stopped repeating the same destructive cycles and stepped into true alignment.
This is why I created Ascend Mastermind—for women who are done with surface-level healing and are ready for deep integration.
