EPISODE OVERVIEW
Joel and Antonia answer Rebecca’s question about the trickster archetype and how it can show up as a helpful part of the shadow. They explain how it helps people deal with double binds, protect themselves, and stop taking everything so seriously. The conversation also connects trickster energy to humor, mythology, Home Alone, and the idea that shadow traits are not flaws to erase.
