Did you know that you can hide your light just as much as your darkness? Most people think shadow work is about uncovering the hard, uncomfortable parts of themselves. And it is. But there's another side to the shadow that doesn't get nearly enough attention…the golden shadow. The parts of you that are brilliant, gifted, and alive that you learned to dim, hide, or abandon just to keep the peace.
