In a world that often feels unsafe, uncertain, and chaotic, how do you cultivate true inner safety without abandoning your essence?
In this solo episode of ENHEARTENED, I guide you through a deep exploration of shadow safety vs. soul safety two radically different ways we relate to our internal world when faced with external threat or emotional pain.
You’ll learn:
What shadow safety is and why it feels like safety but costs you wholeness
Why abandoning yourself has become your default coping strategy (and how to stop)
The truth about nervous system capacity, vulnerability, and self-protection
How to start building sovereign safety: the kind that doesn’t shut down your heart
How to stay rooted in presence, even when fear, shame, or grief arise
This is a conversation for anyone seeking embodied power, emotional resilience, and the courage to live open-hearted in a polarized world.
🎧 Listen until the end for a step-by-step blueprint to begin cultivating soul safety in your daily life.
