337. Don’t Text Your Ex: Choosing Growth Over Old Patterns (Shadow Work Series Part 8 of 22)

The Playground

“Don’t text your ex” isn’t just about relationships—it’s a reminder not to slip back into the old version of yourself. In this episode, we’re talking about the deeper meaning behind those familiar urges to revisit the past, whether it’s through people, habits, or mindsets you’ve outgrown. Discover how to honor your growth, resist the pull of old patterns, and stay aligned with the person you’re becoming. This is your sign to keep moving forward and embrace the new you.

In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows.
