This week on Ritual of Wild, Jenny sits down with Xavier Dagba for a deep and heartfelt conversation about personal growth, spirituality, and the courage it takes to embrace our true selves. Xavier is a shadow integration facilitator, trauma-informed transformation guide and teacher. His work is about self liberation. He finds deep fulfillment in assisting light workers and thought leaders dissolve the hidden forces that keep them from shining bright and unleashing their expression. His work is psycho-spiritual and bridges Jungian psychology, somatic experiencing, spiritual wisdom and transformational coaching.

In this conversation they explore the fears that hold us back—fear of humiliation, alienation, and even our own brightness—and how self-liberation begins when we stop resisting and start listening to what our bodies and emotions are trying to tell us. Xavier shares his own journey of transformation, highlighting the power of conscious living and the importance of facing both our light and our shadows. They discuss how reconnecting with the divine isn’t something that just happens—it requires curiosity, effort, and a willingness to sit with discomfort. Darkness, as Xavier beautifully puts it, is often unactualized wisdom asking for our attention.

They also touch on the role of the nervous system in carrying unprocessed pain, the transformative journey of parenting, and how living unconsciously can lead to emotional bankruptcy. Parenting, in particular, reveals the parts of ourselves we may have repressed, offering an opportunity for deep healing and self-awareness. At its core, this conversation is an invitation to step fully into authenticity—to trust that it’s safe to express every part of who you are and to embrace both the struggle and the beauty of being human.
