A proposito di questo titolo

Down With My Demons is a podcast for people who are ready to stop spiritually bypassing, turn toward their pain, and build a more honest relationship with themselves.

Together, we explore shadow work: all the parts of us we’ve hidden, exiled, or learned to be ashamed of. Through storytelling, depth psychology, trauma-informed insight, and intimate conversations with guests, we look at the raw, uncomfortable material of being human: grief, rage, desire, shame, longing, burnout, and everything in between.


This is a space where:

  • No parts are bad parts – every emotion and pattern is seen as meaningful and workable.
  • We connect dots between your personal story and larger systems (family, culture, capitalism, patriarchy, colonization).
  • Nervous system + soul work meet – we talk about the brain, body, and psyche, and how to actually integrate change instead of just talking about it.
  • Big topics are named out loud – complex trauma, addiction, pleasure, power, money, sex, spirituality, and the collective grief of living in uncertain times.


I’m Chloe Lionheart – a doctoral candidate in clinical depth psychology, therapist, researcher, and longtime befriender of my own shadows. I don’t come as a guru, but as a fellow human who’s been cracked open and is still learning. Expect real talk, tenderness, and basking in raw humanness.


If you’re:

  • tired of self-help that skips over the hard parts,
  • craving language for what you feel but can’t quite name,
  • longing for companionship on the path of becoming…


…then this show is for you.


Come sit by the fire, bring your demons, and let’s find out what they’ve been trying to tell you about the life you actually deserve to live.

  • Death of a Mother: Grief, Alchemy, and Rising from the Ashes

    Death of a Mother: Grief, Alchemy, and Rising from the Ashes
    Nov 27 2025

    In this episode, I finally name what has been living in the background of everything: my mother’s death, and the grief that took me under. I share how losing her shattered the life I thought I was living, and how that rupture rippled into this podcast: why I went quiet and what it has meant to be reshaped by grief instead of trying to outrun it.

    Inside this episode, I talk about:

    • The story of my mother’s death and the immediate aftermath
    • How grief hijacked my body, my nervous system, and my creativity
    • The guilt and shame of disappearing from the mic
    • Grief as an alchemical process: what has burned away, and what remains
    • The slow, messy rising-from-the-ashes
    • The blooming and integration

    This is a tender, honest conversation about love, loss, and the parts of us that die with our parents, and the strange, sacred work of rebuilding a self after that.

    If you’ve ever gone offline during a season of grief, or felt like you were “failing” at being visible while your heart was breaking, I hope this episode feels like permission and companionship.

    Thank you for still being here with me in the fire and the rebirth.

  • Authority, Integrity, and Rage: An Exploration with Claire Thompson

    Authority, Integrity, and Rage: An Exploration with Claire Thompson
    Oct 19 2023

    Send us a text

    Join my guest, Claire Thompson and me, as we explore the shadow of authority, how that plays into our integrity, small bits about what it means to move with integrity, and over course RAGE! The episode begins with a dive into working for others and beginning to step into our power by bringing awareness to formerly hidden patterns of behavior and how that may be getting in the way of our ability to lead. This then guides us into a juicy conversation on integrity and leads into Rage and the navigation of root emotions. Being a Rage Ritual Practitioner, amongst other amazing offerings, Claire discusses the potency of integrating a rage practice and sheds light on a few ways that might be integrated into our daily lives. Please excuse any dog interferences, even puppies need to rage sometimes. Please subscribe, review, and best of all... SHARE! I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next time.
