Shadow PlaygroundAuthor: Ez Bridgman
Shadow Playground is a podcast focused on the enablers for living a life full of playful vitality, as well as the blockages -- conflict, fear, shame, shadow, judgment, being serious, norms, etc. -- that hold us back from unleashing our unfiltered playful selves. We look at how playfulness & shadow can actually co-exist beautifully together, for instance how we might bring a playful spirit to our most important & challenging moments. Hosted on Acast.
