Really insightful post Evgeny. I have just joined Foundrs so i am intrigued! Also received a copy of your book in my Foundrs goodie bag.🙏🏻 Since i bought one already im going to gift the second copy to someone who will also find it helpful!

I really like this idea of leaning into our shadow selves. Its where our ugly human bits lie and are desperate to be understood.

Desperate to be understood is a good way to see it. The more we understand the shadow parts of ourselves, the easier it is for them to integrate into our ego.
