And the benefits of connecting to this inferior part of ourselves, of the shadow, is that one you're able to express your needs and be vulnerable in a much greater way and a much more sincere, open way, which is amazing and awesome.

He introduces the Force of Self Expression, a tool that encourages us to reveal our true selves without fear of judgment. This episode also tackles the topic of shame, exploring how it often masks our feelings of inadequacy and hinders personal growth. By identifying and breaking the shame cycle, Ryan believes we can better work with our Shadow, leading to greater authenticity and stronger relationships.
