Shame tells us we’re unworthy of love and belonging—but what if learning to face it could set us free? In this episode of The Next Brave Thing, I invited a returning guest Courtney Lancaster, a trauma-informed life coach, to unpack the complexities of shame, creativity, and the courage to be seen. Together, we explore how shame shows up in our lives, the self-protection strategies we use, and what it takes to move from hiding to wholehearted expression. Tune in for real stories, practical insights, and an honest conversation about what it means to own your story and step into visibility with courage.
