19. Feeling Defensive? Tame the Shame Around Feedback
Does criticism leave you spiraling and feeling like you're the worst? You’re not alone. You’re doing the best you can with what you know, and there’s another way.
In this empowering episode, we unpack why shame hijacks your nervous system, how to pause instead of crashing out, how to navigate hard conversations without abandoning yourself, and what real emotional repair looks like.
If you’re tired of letting shame run the show, this episode will show you a new way.
You’ll learn:
• Why feedback often feels like a personal attack (and how to reframe it)
• How to regulate your emotions before responding
• Why ruptures are normal and actually make relationships stronger
• Practical tools for moving from shame to self-trust
