From Shadow Work to Light Work: How to Actually Heal | Keila Shaheen - EP 754
Descripción del Episodio
Shadow work helps you uncover the hidden parts of yourself, but what happens after that?
In this episode of Passion Struck, I sit down with Keila Shaheen, the million-copy bestselling author of The Shadow Work Journal, to explore the step most people miss: integration.
While shadow work helps us confront the “invisible bag” of childhood wounds and hidden traits we carry, it is only part of the equation. Keila explains why true healing requires shifting from reflection to action—what she calls light work. We explore her newest book, The Light Work Journal, and how it helps people move out of the “gray area” of exhaustion into intentional awareness and energized living.
Passion Struck is the #1 alternative health and personal growth podcast dedicated to human flourishing and the science of mattering.

- The difference between System 1 vs. System 2 thinking and how it impacts your daily life
- Why exhaustion—not anxiety or depression—is the dominant emotional state today
- The role of a healthy ego as a stabilizing force rather than something to eliminate
- How noticing “glimmers” can rewire your mindset and shift your emotional baseline
- Practical ways to protect your energy and show up as your most authentic self
