Owning Our Shadow and Embodying The Gifts That Make Us Whole and Powerful (feat. Kelly Brogan)
When a woman feels alive and in her power, she can be the most powerful force on this plane. But, according to my guest Kelly Brogan, women have been duped by the messages they have received from society. They have abandoned their true nature in exchange for seeming empowerment.
Kelly is here to guide us on a path that helps us stop creating struggle and create a sense of true safety to finally experience the specific pleasure of who we are.
Kelly Brogan, M.D. is a holistic psychiatrist, author of the New York Times Bestselling book A Mind of Your Own, Own Your Self, the children’s book A Time For Rain, and co-editor of the landmark textbook Integrative Therapies for Depression. She is the founder of the online healing program Vital Mind Reset, and the membership community, Vital Life Project. She specializes in a root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms.
During this interview, Kelly shares a provocative perspective on feminine reclamation, including the imperative to learn the skills of self-safety to embody creative expression. She provides actionable steps to help you claim the jewels from the cave of your shame, own your badness, and align with your desires.
