Villains aren’t just obstacles; they’re invitations to deeper self-awareness and power.

Lisa Marie Rankin explores how the antagonists in our lives can be mirrors, energy vampires, or initiators, offering powerful lessons in shadow work, boundaries, and feminine sovereignty. Drawing from Jungian psychology, mythic frameworks, and romantasy archetypes, she guides listeners to stop reacting and start responding with purpose and poise.

Rather than fighting every battle, we’re reminded to protect our energy, claim our story, and train like the heroine we’re becoming.

What if your shadow was the source of your superpower?

This conversation reimagines the dragon not as a beast to conquer, but as a powerful ally in feminine transformation. Lisa explores how modern romantasy heroines like Daenerys Targaryen and Violet Sorrengail bond with their dragons to awaken hidden gifts, access shadow magic, and claim sacred feminine power. Drawing on Jungian psychology, myth, and archetypes, she invites listeners to consider what it truly means to become dragon worthy.

By turning inward and integrating repressed instincts like rage, desire, and creative fire, women reclaim their full selves. The dragon becomes a symbol of strength, sovereignty, and soul-aligned courage, reminding us we don’t need to slay anything, only ride it home.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• dragon symbolism
• feminine power
• heroine's journey
• Jungian psychology
• shadow work
• divine feminine
• romantasy
