Top Down Bottom Up: You Cannot Hustle Your Way Out of a Dysregulated Body

"The Blue Moon, Your Shadow, and Why the Patterns Keep Running"

This week Jennifer goes deep on shadow work — what Carl Jung actually meant by it, why insight alone has never been enough, and what it takes to create change that reaches the root. She shares new neuroscience on what declining estrogen does to the brain's neural pathways — the uninsulated wire — and why high-achieving women are navigating a three-part problem with a one-part solution. And she tells a personal story from high school — as an Enneagram 8 — that reveals her own shadow around vulnerability, protection, and what it actually took to become more whole. This episode was recorded during the Full Blue Moon in Sagittarius on May 31, 2026 — the rarest lunar moment in nearly 40 years. What you'll hear: * What Jung actually meant by the shadow (not the Instagram version) * Why the patterns live in your nervous system — not your mind * Jennifer's personal Enneagram 8 shadow story * What individuation actually requires — and why you can't do it alone * Three questions to sit with under the Blue Moon Links mentioned: * Book a free consultation:  [https://jennifertmoore.com/] * Join the Facebook community [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1641696360294716/]
