In Episode 95 of the Mindset Architect Podcast, host Tony Caliendo takes a powerful solo walk—literally and metaphorically—into the topic of shadow work. What started as a sunny walk in Santa Fe turns into a profound exploration of the unseen forces that silently shape our decisions, leadership style, pricing, self-worth, and relationships.

In this episode, Tony reveals:
✅  What your shadow actually is—and how it follows you everywhere (even if you can’t see it).
✅  The surprising signs your shadow is running the show: triggers, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and undercharging.
✅  How childhood stories create adult patterns that limit your growth.
✅  Actionable tools to bring your shadow into the light—journaling prompts, mirror work, inner visualization, and shadow dialogue.
✅  Why doing this work increases productivity, eliminates self-doubt, and leads to peace and purpose.

Whether you’re a business owner, leader, or someone on a journey of personal development, this episode offers deep insights into how shadow work can unlock real transformation—if you’re willing to look inward.
