EP 100: Reclaiming Power and Embracing Your Shadow Side with Cara Mendez

Welcome to a brand new episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. Today, I got deep with the insightful and transformative Cara Mendez. Together, we illuminate the concept of the "shadow"—the powerful yet often misunderstood aspects of our unconscious mind. We explore how these shadow traits, which can surface as negative behaviors like dominance or manipulation, can be transformed into positive strengths through awareness and acceptance.

Cara Mendez, Who is a mother of five, priestess, soul mastery coach, and co-leader of various spiritual and healing ceremonies, shares her profound wisdom on recognizing and integrating these shadow parts. The conversation challenges societal stigmas, particularly within religious communities, encouraging a shift from fear of judgment to embracing one's full power.

Whether you're looking to embrace your "bossy" nature or seeking a deeper understanding of your unconscious mind, this episode promises to be a powerful guide on your journey to self-mastery and liberation. 

Key Takeaways:

• Transforming emotional triggers into valuable activations.
• Embracing shadow traits for freedom and personal growth.
• Redefining leadership and healing beyond traditional roles.
