- Deep in each of us, a Vital Spark fights to free us and set us back on our path.
Lisa, Joe, and Deb were joined by more than 300 audience members for their first-ever live podcast to celebrate the launch of Lisa's new book, The Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire.
The "Vital Spark" is the core essence of our innermost fiery qualities-creative aggression, fiery sexuality, emboldened disagreeableness, sharp-witted trickery, burning desire, clearsighted shrewdness, empowering anger, and bold authority-that fuel creativity, assertiveness, desire, and personal power. It is the crucial energy and passion necessary for fueling one's true Self and facilitating personal growth.
We achieve this by reclaiming and embracing these once-outlawed or neglected aspects of Self that transcend societal constraints. We are called to confront and integrate shadowy, fierce, and raw qualities. Through this transformative journey of acknowledgment and integration, the Vital Spark seeks to guide individuals toward a life marked by heightened consciousness, power, and agency, enriching their experiences with vibrancy and authenticity.
Prepare to discover:
- Who can embody the transformation from pleasing to authoritative, navigating generational conflicts and self-assertion.
- When it is crucial to confront and integrate shadow aspects of Self to reclaim power and agency in one's life.
- How to engage with and harness one's aggressive capacities for personal growth and authenticity.
- What constitutes the vital spark within and the importance of embracing one's full spectrum of qualities, including those deemed dark.
- Where internal and external journeys of self-discovery and confrontation with one's fate can lead to transformation and fulfillment.
- Whether it is possible to change one's fate by courageously facing and integrating aspects of Self that have been neglected or exiled.
- Which qualities and traits are essential for breaking free from limiting roles, enabling a richer, more empowered existence.
- Why loving one's fate, including embracing the challenging process of self-integration, is key to living a life of depth, purpose, and authenticity.
And so much more…

Lisa - I bought your Audiobook, The Vital Spark. OMG. You are speaking my life. I have been looking, searching for the reasons why I have been feeling so numb lately. Your words of wisdom and insight are leading me to source out what was left behind and what needs to be re-born. I can tell you, this book is incredibly difficult to listen to. I want to shut it off, continue this numbing to my creative life, feel safe in the familiar. But, I am compelled to go down this rabbit hole, abandon all to reclaim me. Thank you.
Deep respect, high appreciation for the vital sparks each of you bring to your weekly podcasts
and now to ever-more treasures found within the context of this (Lisa's) book. Thank You!
I'm a huge fan of all you guys and inspiring analysts. You guys should do an episode of all dream interpretations like a marathon for subscribers
That's a great idea. A 'master cut' with all the dream interpretations
That’s a great idea
Wonderful! I bought the audiobook and I look forward to listening on the walks with my dog. Thank you so much for this podcast and your work.
Lisa is exactly the kind of lady I’d hope to gracefully become one day
Hi guys, I just want to say. I love you guys. I loved all of your episodes. But I particularly love (in debs voice) this episode. I didn’t expect coming in here to be able to see your faces. I’m so thankful for you.
This is so helpful at this time - all the discussion around the innocence complex and envy informs my recent personal experiences and the research I've been doing on children's rights and trying to understand why some kinds of abusers target children.
I have listened to this podcast twice. Truly the huge resonance and wisdom has been life changing already. No going back. Book's on the way! Thankyou all, love your collective voice and insights, presented so gently and softly. 🥰🦄
Love the book , going to read it again and do the reflection questions for a book club ❤
I'm listening to the podcast and overflowing with how much I love these three people, their whole hearted generosity, their devotion to soul work and how they show up in my home in their fullness. And just as I'm getting jealous of their exquisite friendship I realize that I'm already included in its warmth. I also can't wait to know the topic of Lisa's next book as I've already read and utterly loved The Vital Spark.
I sometimes think if I know what I want, I know that I can't have it.
I am Alison and Dorothy. Thank you for this breakdown of the innocence complex. It was a true synchronicity as I just started researching the significance of my favorite story the Wizard of Oz yesterday. I have done a lot of healing in the area of developing awareness of envy and becoming less innocent however I had not figured out what I need to cultivate to move forward. This gives me a great sense of direction in my goals for the future to become whole. Thank you!
Another great episode, thank you. Loved the concept of malignant innocence in particular.
Appreciate what Deb shared about what did I like as a child...there’s a wonderful book called Wishcraft and the author’s name escapes me but when I read that book it really did change my life’s course to beacon me a behavioral health counselor. It’s premise asks the question, what sparked passion inside of you when you were a child. Thank goodness for that book,coming along when it did.
Looking forward to reading The Vital Spark and encouraging others to read it. Thank you Lisa, Joseph and Deb
Wishcraft By Barbara Sher :)
You 3 are so great - in deep appreciation and admiration.
Joseph your audio always sounds clear and audible to me
Congratulations on on your new book release, I can't wait to buy one!

Ah, the innocence complex. I feel like that's akin to vulnerable narcissism. Lisa, when you mentioned the envy of the innocence, I at first didn't reallyl see what you meant until you explained the envy of the gift that isn't recognized by the Self, but is recognized and therefore envied by others. That makes sense. On the other hand, when I've had certain feelings towards women who are like damsels in distress, I haven't felt envious, but annoyed. They ca'n't be THAT gullable. What world are they living in? Have they been so coddled that even at the age of 35 they still think that justice can be achieved? It tells me they haven't suffered enough that that brings out the sadist in me. They need to be initiated and join reality. This is what I feel like and my resentment towrards women who stand up as if they have any authority (like 25 year old life coaches who never had to pay for their college education because they've had it all)... that cracks me up in a very dark way.
Cheers to Lisa on 'The Vital Spark'! I obtained the book on pre-order and once started, I couldn't put it down. It definitely has a space on my shelve for re-read and loaning (well, maaaaybe loaning---I don't like to part with my books!). Wonderful, thought-provoking, emotion-stirring, fire-inspiring! Lisa has an amazing writing style.
And I'll also take this opportunity to offer my gratitude to Deb and Joseph along with Lisa on all I've been receiving from the podcast. A long-time lover and student of psychology and Jungian ideas, I found This Jungian Life a couple of months ago and have been truly enjoying playing catch-up on episodes and look forward to more. Thank you all so, SO much.
I wish I'd been available to be watching while this episode was on live. I would have loved the opportunity to submit a dream! Maybe some time! Best to all! Please keep the amazing work coming.
congratulations!
I hope Lisa will also write a book for the future social political system in the US.
Bought your new book and love it Lisa.Great Read.😊
Going to buy your book Lisa! It sounds great and what I need to know right now.Thank you.😊❤
Thank you, and so glad you addressed how disempowering some of the rhetoric around the patriarchy is.
I just love listening to you. Almost always I can relate to something you are talking about and strangely the topics in your podcast seem to cover some of the problem I'm dealing with at the moment. Thank you for your great work.
I love you guys, all of you! This was such a great podcast! together, you add so much to these topics! I am in my master's program for Social Work and working as well, Joseph, I appreciated the inspiration there that you also did this for the same reason I am. I hope I can jump immediately into Jungian studies and take your dream course along the say somehow!! thank you Lisa for this book, I ordered and can't wait to dive in! I love how you put fairy tales and movies in for clarity!! You guys are awesome!!
I had a numinous encounter with Vladimir Putin in a dream, which has helped me integrate a healthy sense of aggression, so I related very much with the Tony Soprano dream! I’m still working on balancing the aggression and capacity for ruthlessness with my empathy and compassion.
thank you to you all at jungain life, each week your themes are so on point for me and resonate deeply. always so timely. thank you for all that you share
Unicorn is the national animal of Scotland 😊
‘Operation Unicorn’ was also the British state codename for the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland too. (I was had involvement in this protocol)
HI LISA! Thank you for creating another book! I loved your first book. I BOUGHT A KINDLE VERSION TODAY BUT WAS WONDERING WHERE I WILL FIND THE LINK FOR BONUS GUIDED MEDITATION… 🎉
Thank you for this episode, and all the others. I really wanted to butt in in Tony Soprano discussion😂
I love you
More movie analysis!
Not sure desire comes from inside. You need inspiration, role models, guidance. That's outside. But it activates something in you, you are receptive, it resonates. Outside and inside are interlinked .
The author of Wishcraft is Barbara Sher
