7.03 Intro to the Inner Villains: Mapping Your Shadows, Inverting Your Archetypes

Powered by RedCircle

In this deeply personal and paradigm-shifting episode, Kristina introduces the Inner Villain Transformation System—a shadow work model that synthesizes IFS, Human Design, the Enneagram, and primal wound theory into a single, coherent system. With co-host Anna, she explores how maladaptive patterns (like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome) aren’t isolated quirks but interconnected arcs of transformation. Each “villain” isn’t something to banish, but a gateway to your most powerful legend self.

Whether you resonate with Regina George, Darth Vader, or Nurse Ratched, this episode gives you a mythic yet grounded framework for recognizing and alchemizing your deepest inner patterns—one archetype at a time.

Topics Covered:

  • The origin story of the Inner Villain system

  • Why maladaptive patterns show up in clusters

  • How the nine villains align with Human Design centers and Enneagram types

  • The concept of “negations” (deep limiting beliefs) and how they point to core villain archetypes

  • The development of the oracle deck and game

  • Understanding the arc: Pinnacle Villain → Sub-Villains → Hero → Legend

  • Inversion as the key spiritual movement (inspired by yoga, polarity, and karmic unwinding)

  • How gameplay and roleplay deepen awareness of inner dynamics

  • Disney character analogs for each Enneagram/villain archetype pairing

  • “These aren’t parts. They’re entire universes.”
