Welcome! I’m Jaclyn Proper, a Jungian Depth Coach, Educator, Explorer, Underworld Doula, & prior professional dominatrix. This channel is about what it means to be an explorer of shadow and self. We dive into shadow work, eroticism, spiritual psychology, kink, neurodivergence, sexuality, travel, and authentic living through the lens of my personal journey and Jungian psychology. If you’re an unconventional soul, queer, kinky, neurospicy, or simply shadow-curious, you’ll find lighthearted yet no-nonsense conversations here to help you embrace your edges, and uncover the truth of who you are.

If you’ve been feeling confused, low energy, unmotivated, or like your old life doesn’t fit anymore… you might not be “off track.” You might be in the death phase of transformation. We’ll cover: * What ego death is (and why it’s part of the shadow work cycle) * Why grief is not just sadness (conflicting emotions are normal) * How grief lives in the body / nervous system (and why stuck emotion = stuck patterns) * Coping mechanisms, nervous system regulation, and releasing shame * How to work with dark goddess archetypes + feminine spirituality during inner winter * How to celebrate endings (yes, death can be liberating) ✨ Stay until the end for a guided active imagination visualization to help you: * honor what’s dying * honor your grief * and connect with a future version of you who has already made it through this chapter I’m a Jungian shadow work coach, death doula, and priestess, and this episode is for anyone going through an identity transition, dark night, breakup, loss, or major life shift.
