#65 The Shadow Seduction: Why Your Darkness Holds the Keys to Your Light

Welcome back to The Art Of Badassery with your host, Mahara Wayman. In this potent episode, “The Shadow Seduction,” Mahara invites you to flip the narrative on your darkness.

Instead of fearing, fixing, or exiling the shadowy parts of ourselves, she shows us how those very parts—yes, the messy, moody, misunderstood bits—are actually magnetic. Your shadow isn’t something to avoid—it’s a portal to power.

Through raw storytelling and grounded wisdom, Mahara unpacks the seductive pull of the shadow and why running from it leaves us stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from our truth.

She challenges us to look again at the emotions we’re taught to silence—jealousy, rage, shame, grief—not as flaws to fix but as fierce guides pointing us toward desire, truth, and boundaries. She calls out the conditioning that’s told high-achieving women to stay polished and palatable, and offers a new path: one where you reclaim what you’ve been taught to hide.

This is about wholeness, not perfection. About learning to dance with your darkness—not just tolerate it, but honour it.

If you’re ready to call your power back, welcome home. Your Shadow Queen is waiting.

Hit play. Let her rise.

If this episode lit a fire in your soul (or lovingly smacked you with truth), take a sec to leave a rating and a badass little testimonial. Your words help this message reach more women ready to rise. I see you. I thank you. I so appreciate you. 👑 😜💃🏽👑
