Plenty with Kate Northrup 87. Alchemizing Our Shadow Desires with Existential Kink with Carolyn Lovewell
What if the challenges and patterns you wish to escape hold the key to your deepest transformation? How can embracing your shadow desires lead to profound freedom and abundance?
In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with Carolyn Lovewell, author of Existential Kink, and one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met!, to dive into the radical idea of alchemizing our unconscious desires. Carolyn shares her groundbreaking perspective on embracing the shadow aspects of ourselves and how doing so can unlock a more integrated, conscious life. We explore how practices like Existential Kink can free us from repeating patterns of scarcity and rejection while deepening our relationship with pleasure, creativity, and prosperity. Join me for this super juicy discussion on the art of shadow work, existential magic, and profound self-discovery.
“Existential Kink is about embracing your shadow desires with love and approval to dissolve their power over you.” – Carolyn Lovewell
