We had the honor this week of sitting down with Alisa Vitti to discuss why our period simply should not suck. Alisa is a functional nutrition and women's hormone expert, the founder of the FLO Living app and a bestselling author. She’s been on our TMV bucket list since the beginning and we could not have enjoyed this conversation more. So much so we had to split it into two parts.

In today’s episode, we dive into all things shadow work. We share our own experiences with the shadow — the most rejected and unloved aspects of yourself — and how confronting and integrating these aspects have led to significant personal growth and self-love. And of course, we discuss the work that led us to uncovering our shadows. You’re not going to want to miss this one!  To learn more about shadow work, you can download our manifestation journal, Co-Create, enroll in Unblocked Shadow with To Be Magnetic and use code “THOUGHTS”, and read The Tools book, as well as check out their online programming.  A few shadow work journal prompts to get you started (thanks to Co-Create!) Why am I not showing up in the way I want to? What parts of myself are hardest to accept? What do I need to forgive myself for? Do I hide any parts of myself from others? Why? What personality traits do I notice in others that I wish I had? How do I feel when I’m around people who exhibit these traits?  Music By: Kieran Miles Don’t forget to DM us on IG or submit a question on thoughtsmayvary.com to have your question or theme unpacked on a future episode!
