Healing isn’t always gentle, glowing, or graceful — sometimes, it’s messy, emotional, and uncomfortable. But that’s where the real transformation begins.

In this special Halloween week episode of Glowfully by Aléora, we’re exploring the shadow side of healing — the parts of ourselves we tend to hide, repress, or fear, and how embracing them leads to deeper peace, balance, and authenticity.

You’ll learn how emotional suppression keeps you stuck, how the body stores unprocessed emotions, and how to gently turn pain into power. This episode blends psychology, nervous system wisdom, and holistic healing — helping you make peace with your shadow so your light can shine even brighter.

Listen in for:
The truth about shadow work and why it’s essential to real growth
How to safely release stored emotions through the body
Ways to transmute pain into wisdom
Journaling prompts to reconnect with your inner world
How to balance light and shadow in everyday life
