In this intimate conversation, Dawn and Ben open up about the shadow work woven through their relationship since their very first date.
Instead of hiding their patterns, wounds, and emotional histories, they built their connection through honesty, curiosity, and a deep willingness to explore the parts of themselves that once felt unlovable.
In this episode we explore:
What “shadow” truly is — not darkness, but the unprocessed, unhealed, unspoken parts of us
Why the honeymoon phase often masks real patterns
The “box around the heart” — and why we all develop it
How triggers, avoidance, and old wounds show up in partnership
How to become a safe person (for yourself and your partner)
The weekly check-in structure Dawn and Ben use to stay connected
Why awareness is the first step in any emotional healing
The gifts hidden inside your shadow
How discomfort becomes the doorway to deeper intimacy
Why relationships, when safe, are the most alchemical space for growth
This conversation is real, grounded, loving, and practical — offering both guidance and lived experience.
