#160: Dream Shame, Part 2 (When Dreaming Feels Risky)


Listen Later

In Episode 159, I talked about "dream shame" -- the shame we feel when we can't dream because dreaming feels too hard. In this episode, I explore the other kind of dream shame, the kind we feel when we do have dreams, but are afraid to admit them. I talk about why dreaming can feel risky, especially when our dreams seem “too big” or “too small” in the eyes of others. . This episode is for you if you need a reminder of why dreaming matters, and why our dreams are worth nurturing and projecting, even if some of our dreams remain unfinished.

In this Episode:

➡️ Why having dreams can make us feel vulnerable and unsafe

  • ➡️ How to navigate fears of judgment from others (and from yourself).

  • ➡️ Why it's okay—and even powerful—to have “unfinished” dreams.
