How can shadow work, existential kink & radical acceptance help you heal? with Dani Granaroli

July 21, 2026 · 1 h 2 min

Show notes

It's common for us to orient more to the parts of ourselves we love, feel proud of, or see as lighter or brighter.

But what about the parts that are messier, less easy-to-love, more challenging? We ALL have them, btw.

Most of us hide those parts where we can, we've learned how to move through the world without outwardly expressing them a lot of the time, unless something comes up that triggers them.

Often this kind of trigger happens in intimate relationships but it can happen anywhere.

In today's episode, Dani Granaroli speaks to the profound transformation she's experienced since incorporating shadow work practices largely inspired by Carolyn Elliot's work with existential kink.

We explore her personal journey, and some ideas of what shadow work even is, some insights on a different way of viewing "healthy" relationships and why radical acceptance is key to all of this - including potentially your own healing path.
