65. Shame Resiliency: How it Manifests Physically and Emotionally


Listen Later

In this episode, Grace dives deep into the powerful and often hidden force of shame—how it shapes our thoughts, bodies, and lives. She explores the difference between shame and guilt, how shame manifests physically and emotionally, and why so many of us carry it unknowingly.

Shame thrives in secrecy, but the good news is that we can build resilience, release its hold, and move toward healing. Grace shares practical tools for recognizing and processing shame, from nervous system regulation to self-compassion and the power of community.

If you've ever struggled with self-worth, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling like you're "not enough," this episode will help you uncover the deeper layers of shame and learn how to rewrite the narrative.
