This is not a typical podcast episode.

This is a guided meditation.

Breaking Up With Shame is part of a growing meditation series designed to support personal growth, emotional healing, and awareness of the family and relational systems that shape how we see ourselves.

In this short, no-BS meditation, you’ll be guided to gently notice shame-based patterns and self-defeating behaviors that may have once helped you cope, belong, or survive—but no longer support who you are today. Rather than analyzing or fixing yourself, this practice helps you release what was never yours to carry and reconnect with a more compassionate, grounded, and supportive relationship with yourself.

This meditation is especially supportive if you:

• Feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, guilt, or embarrassment
• Struggle with feeling “too much” or “not enough”
• Want to feel less alone in your inner world
• Are interested in healing through a family systems and relational lens

Find a quiet space, get comfortable, and allow yourself to be guided.

If this meditation resonates with you, my upcoming book Lonely AF: A Therapist’s No-BS Guide to Feeling Less Alone goes even deeper into the patterns that keep us disconnected from ourselves and others—and how to change them without shame or fluff.
