That person isn’t copying you. They’re showing you something you haven’t owned yet.
In this episode, I delve into the distinction between shadow projection and mirror reflection, and why it matters for anyone who aspires to lead, heal, or simply act with greater integrity. We unpack the subtle ways projection hides in plain sight, how it sneaks into your reactions, and why it’s often rooted in the parts of yourself you’ve pushed away.
This isn’t about blaming or fixing. It’s about awareness, learning to recognize when your judgments are really mirrors, when your triggers are teachers, and when it’s time to take back your power from what you’ve projected. Sometimes the hardest work isn’t seeing others clearly, but seeing yourself without distortion. Once you start catching your own projections, everything changes, especially your peace.
