Shadow work and the inner work of age with Connie Zweig Ph.D.

Apr 21, 2022

You won’t want to miss today’s conversation. On today’s episode, I speak with the incredible Connie Zweig Ph.D., a retired therapist and writer. Known as the Shadow Expert, she is co-author of Meeting the Shadow and Romancing the Shadow and author of Meeting the Shadow of Spirituality.

Her new bestselling book, The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul, extends her work on the Shadow into midlife and beyond and explores aging as a spiritual practice. It won both the 2021 American Book Fest Award and the 2021 Best Indie Book Award for best inspirational non-fiction.

Connie has been doing contemplative practices for more than 50 years. She is a wife, stepmother, and grandmother. After all these roles, she’s practicing the shift from role to soul.

We talk about the following and much more:

✅ What the shadow is, and why the shadow is something we often don’t talk about
✅ Why she started the book Romancing the Shadow with the story of the Portrait of Dorian Gray
✅ How our family dynamics, and societal dynamics contribute to the development and later the suppression of our shadows
✅ What the family shadow, the family soul and the sibling shadow are and how they play out
✅ Why she says there is “gold in the shadow”.
✅ What usually happens when people start to romance their shadows.
