ENHEARTENED with Xavier Dagba

• Ep. 20 | Xavier Dagba: How to outgrow self-abandonment during polarized times

  Join the workshop - The Alchemy of Self-Abandonment Transcend the protective patterns that keep your voice, truth, and brilliance in the shadows. Live on Wednesday Nov 5th — Replay includedhttps://www.xavierdagba.com/returntosoul About this episode. These times are putting us through a sacred friction. We are living in a collective pressure-cooker. An era where authenticity can feel risky and self-abandonment can feel like safety. In this episode, we explore how the world is inviting you to either collapse into old patterns of shrinking, silence, and self-betrayal… Or ignite a profound return to your Self. To your truth. To your light. To the part of you that refuses to betray your soul again. We’ll talk about the subtle ways self-abandonment still sneaks in—especially for conscious people—and why this moment in history is calling something powerful forward in you. 📖 Order my book, Scars of Gold A guide for shadow integration, self-liberation, and reclaiming your light. https://www.scarsofgold.com 🎧 Listen to EnHeartened Podcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enheartened-with-xavier-dagba/id1798866363 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6sxXNMfsN9FnK34glRnkFC If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review & share the episode with someone who needs this. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Welcome & Introduction 0:24 Why I've been offline — choosing presence 2:42 The vulnerability of publishing a book 4:30 Getting married & pausing promotion 6:20 Presence over performance 8:02 When your mission becomes self-abandonment 9:20 Divine timing: Book launch & family reunion 13:30 Full-circle moment with my parents 15:10 Collective turmoil & self-abandonment 16:30 Hyper-polarization & identity pressure 18:50 Information overload & losing discernment 20:35 Fear-based narratives & shrinking 22:15 Performative empathy & silencing truth 24:36 Outsourcing authority & losing inner power 26:30 Soul abandonment — the most painful kind 28:18 Cynicism as a trauma response 31:10 Reclaiming your power in friction 33:02 New definition of safety: Light is safe 34:45 The Archetypal Fears (Humiliation / Alienation / Loss / Persecution / Death) 37:38 Quiet rebellion — living your truth without performing 39:30 The collective is training us for sovereignty 41:50 A world asking you to armor up — and choosing to stay open-hearted 45:00 Your soul is not meant to remain in the shadows 47:10 Workshop Invitation & Closing #selfabandonment #shadowintegration #selfliberation #sovereignty #innerwork #healingjourney #consciousleadership #spiritualawakening #soulwork #embodiment #innerauthority #authenticity #lightwork #traumainformedhealing #personaldevelopment #enheartened #scarsofgold #xavierdagba

• Ep. 18 | Xavier Dagba: My new book Scars of Gold & Reconciling with your shadow

  My new book Scars of Gold (Hay House, Sept 23, 2025) is available for preorder. Claim exclusive bonuses when you preorder and register your copy here: www.scarsofgold.com This solo episode is one I’ve been waiting all year to share with you. It’s not just about my new book Scars of Gold — it’s about the deeper invitation behind it: reconciling with your shadow. So often we treat the shadow as the enemy — the reason for sabotage, resistance, or disconnection. But what if the shadow is not here to destroy you… but to guide you back to your wholeness? In this episode, I explore: * The journey of writing Scars of Gold and how the book “rewrote” me before I could write it. * Why I see the shadow as benevolent — a storehouse of repressed light, not just pain. * The difference between self-abandonment, fragmentation, and true integration. * Why reconciliation with your shadow is the foundation for living with an unleashed heart. 👉 Pre-order Scars of Gold and unlock your bonuses: When you pre-order at www.scarsofgold.com , you’ll receive the Scars of Gold Immersion, including: ** A 3-part live workshop series (“Reconciling with the Shadow”) diving into core fears, parental/origin shadows, and relational shadows. ** The Golden Shadow Journal to help you reclaim the light your shadow has been guarding. ** Radiant Return, a guided Golden Shadow integration journey. ** A 7-day Golden Shadow Challenge in September. This is more than a book launch. It’s a full immersion into the work of integration and self-liberation.

• Ep. 16 | Mark Groves: Why you keep repeating the same relational patterns and how to stop.

  Are you caught in cycles of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, or relationships that mirror your pain? In this powerful conversation with Mark Groves, we explore what it truly means to live from your truth, even when it costs you comfort, connection, or the familiar. We talk about the physiological toll of betraying yourself, how to stop sabotaging healthy love, and the rituals that allow love to evolve. Mark shares his story of breaking off an engagement, walking away from Instagram at the peak of his influence, and how he and his now-wife rekindled their relationship through radical truth and sacred pause. We dive deep into the nervous system, anxious/avoidant patterns, cancel culture, AI, and how to cultivate self-trust in relationships that challenge us to grow. This is a transmission for anyone ready to stop sabotaging healthy love and start creating connection rooted in truth. 👇 JOIN INTEGRATE (next cohort begins June 29): https://www.xavierdagba.com/integrate-apply CONNECT WITH MARK GROVES Website: https://www.createTheLove.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createthelove Substack: https://humaning.substack.com Podcast: The Mark Groves Podcast EXPLORE XAVIER'S WORLD: → Newsletter: https://newsletter.xavierdagba.com → Website: https://www.xavierdagba.com → Membership: https://www.xavierdagba.com/elp-unleashed → Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6sxXNMfsN9FnK34glRnkFC → Podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enheartened-with-xavier-dagba/id1798866363 CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro: The Cost of Self-Betrayal 0:43 - Welcome and why truth matters in love 3:01 - Speaking truth in family & systems 5:03 - Being the truth-teller in your family 7:05 - Spine and heart: the archetypes of safety 10:08 - Mark’s personal story of breaking patterns 14:35 - Leaving social media and reclaiming power 18:00 - How notifications stress the nervous system 21:00 - Social media, self-abandonment & sickness 24:00 - The trait of truth-telling no matter the cost 27:00 - The spiritual price of betraying your knowing 31:00 - Rekindling love after rupture with Kylie 35:56 - The power of a conscious closing ceremony 39:00 - Rituals that transform endings into beginnings 46:01 - Relationship 2.0: starting fresh, together 49:00 - Trust, uncertainty & anxious attachment 53:00 - Mutuality and the power of saying no more 59:00 - Possession by the wound & interrupting patterns 1:04:10 - Why rupture can build deeper intimacy 1:10:13 - Upgrading our collective conflict IQ 1:12:00 - The Four Horsemen of Relationship Breakdown 1:19:09 - The rise of artificial connection 1:27:00 - Are we burned out from too much connection? 1:29:20 - Mark’s sacred scar of gold: premature birth 1:36:12 - What part of you are you still learning to love? #MarkGroves #XavierDagba #INTEGRATE #SelfLiberation #RelationalHealing #AnxiousAttachment #AvoidantAttachment #EnheartenedPodcast #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipRepair #PersonalGrowth #ShadowWork
