About this episode

In this episode, John R. Miles interviews Keila Shaheen about the transition from shadow work to light work for true healing.

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.Check the full show notes here: https://passionstruck.com/light-work-journal-keila-shaheen-passion-struck/ Explore companion insights for this episode at: https://www.theignitedlife.net Resources & LinksExplore companion insights: https://www.theignitedlife.net Thank You to Our SponsorsLimited Time Offer – Check out Function Health— 160+ lab tests a year for $365.
