Meeting Your Shadow Self Will Change Everything About How You Heal - with Jamie Janko

Send us a text

In this soul-stirring episode, I sit down with my dear friend Jamie to explore what happens when we stop running from the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide. Jamie opens up about her transformation from a self-proclaimed queen of toxic positivity to someone who now embraces the full spectrum of emotion—with breathwork and shadow work as her guides.

We talk about what it means to meet your shadow, why the brightest light often casts the sharpest shadow, and how facing discomfort can lead to the deepest healing. Jamie shares the raw truths behind her recent darkness retreat, how it cracked her open, and the unexpected power that emerged from the dark.

This conversation also dives into what it looks like to meet your edges—in self, in relationships, and in sensuality—and how those edges can become invitations for deeper presence, authenticity, and connection.

Whether you’re new to shadow work or deep in the practice, this episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing—it’s about integrating. Let’s breathe into the dark together.
