Shadow Playground

V10 Life Design

Shadow Playground explores what helps us create a life that feels deeply alive, playful and authentically our own. We examine both the sources of vitality and the blockages that constrain it, including fear, shame, conflict, judgment, seriousness, social conditioning and the parts of ourselves we tend to hide.Created by V10 Life Design, the podcast treats playfulness and shadow not as opposites, but as forces that can coexist and even strengthen one another.
