Shadow Work, WTF?

Caitlin Clark | Shadow Alchemy Coaching Academy

Forget the love-and-light BS. Shadow Work, WTF? dives into the shadows we’d rather hide — shame, fear, boundaries, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome — and shows you how to actually work with them in your life and with your clients. Through raw, messy, unfiltered conversations, we make shadow work human, practical, and sometimes laugh-out-loud messy.
