Episode 107 - The Shadows That Gather Around a Woman of Innate Depth & Power

The BigTalk Podcast

Show Notes

Have you ever noticed how your presence can make people both admire and resent you at the same time?

One moment they’re drawn to your composure, your depth, your light - and the next, they’re calling you intimidating, too intense, or “a bit much.”

Perhaps this has been the story of your entire life.

In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening when your presence activates projection in your friends, clients, colleagues, even family. We’ll explore six common archetypes that powerful women unconsciously embody (the Refined Outsider, the Initiatrix, the Independent Light, and more) and why these energies stir admiration and shadow in equal measure.

You’ll learn how to read the feedback of the field without shrinking, apologising, or over-explaining yourself and instead, how to stay rooted in your own energetic sovereignty as a woman of depth.

Because when you understand projection, you stop taking people’s reactions personally and start reading them as data from the collective unconscious.

If you’re ready to turn your depth into your profession, this is the work we do inside The Psychodynamic Coach Academy - our internationally accredited certification for coaches who want to work at soul-level depth.
