In this episode, I am sharing a perspective and insight on the power of shame and how it is blocking us from being seen authentically.  Releasing shame is one of the first steps to starting to share your story and this is the first step we will be moving through with the authors in the Write Your Damn Book Mastermind. 

In today’s episode, we discuss:

1)  Shame can only be released by giving yourself some grace. Sometimes we have shame and we don’t even know what they are, it’s not our shame to carry it but we do, we pile it on. They’re not our bags, and this shame is stored in our body and in our emotions and will show up, and block you until you can release it. 

2) Shame, body, heart, grace, when you feel awkward, that is a shame being activated.  When we see someone expressing themselves, we feel awkward and disconnected because the part inside of us wants to be seen and not hold that anymore.  Shame gives you the signal that it is not safe to be you. The fascia has no linearity of time, it doesn’t care about the past or future, our fascia remembers as it happened one second ago, it is connected to our self-protection.  Our subconscious mind is our body and that is where we store 95+% of our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, decisions, and self-doubt.  Your fascia believes it is in the same moment that it was 40-50 years ago. It jumps into self-protection, fascia is always protecting you from the environment.  

3) Shame is everything, it is an iron blanket on our shoulders, and it weighs us down and holds us back from our authentic expression.  When you say “I am me” your body relaxes and allows, and you being you shift mountains.  People will feel you because you can’t be wrong being you.
