Today we’d like to introduce you to Orenda Fink.
Hi Orenda, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been a professional singer-songwriter for over twenty years (1/2 of the duo Azure Ray), and in that time, my writing was greatly influenced by my dreams and trying to understand myself on a deeper level. I started work with a Jungian-informed psychotherapist almost a decade ago, who changed my life by introducing me to Carl Jung’s theory of dream interpretation. In 2023 I decided to take my passion for Jungian psychology and dream interpretation to the next level by completing a rigorous Jungian Depth Coaching certification. With my clients, I work on uncovering and integrating the hidden aspects of ourselves that unconsciously shape our behavior, and dreams help point the way. I find the work immensely rewarding and even spiritual at times. Watching people make vital connections in their lives and break negative patterns that keep them stuck is the most rewarding work I have ever done. It’s a passion now!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
“Shadow Work,” which is Jung’s name for uncovering repressed emotions or aspects of ourselves, is hard work! It takes a willingness to really look inside and take responsibility for our lives, and I am called to do it alongside my clients. But even though it is challenging, it is the most rewarding work you can do. There is liberation in uncovering and challenging your unconscious beliefs. You begin to understand that we are all a lot more alike than different, which inspires compassion for yourself and others. I believe in the old adage, “If you want to change the world, start with yourself.” It is difficult, but I believe more than ever, we need less judgment and more curiosity.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I help people take control of their lives to consciously create their future. The key is understanding yourself on a deeper level. My process, using Jungian Shadow Work, Dream Interpretation, and Active Imagination, sheds light on unconscious patterns, fears, and desires that control your life without your awareness. By making the unconscious conscious, you can free yourself from past conditioning and become the creator of your future. This process is what psychologist Carl Jung called Individuation, a movement away from the ego and to the limitless potential of the true Self. This work has changed my life, and I am passionate about sharing it with others.
I see my clients either over Zoom or in person in my office overlooking the Mojave Desert in Twentynine Palms, California. I offer a free 15-minute consultation over Zoom. You can learn more or book with me at orendafinkcoaching.com
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
I’ve found that talking about my passions with others is the best kind of networking. You’ll know right away who your people are by how engaged they are with you. Even if they aren’t interested, most people love connecting those with similar interests. It’s a small world.
