Today, we delve into a topic that is often swept under the rug but profoundly impacts us all: the emotion of shame. We are unmasking shame and its intricate, powerful influence on our lives, on our drive for success, and ultimately on our well-being.

We explore the paradox of how shame, an emotion we often strive to hide, can paradoxically fuel our ambition and push us towards remarkable achievements. But we also unravel the sobering truth that this form of motivation, built on the precarious foundation of shame, is unsustainable in the long run.

Jessica Huie is a renowned public speaker, publicist, bestselling author and former journalist who ran her own influential boutique agency, JHPR, for over a decade. She now runs her annual Purpose Retreat in Jamaica, heads up two self-development programs, Bigger Than A Book and The Purpose Academy as well as sharing insights about the power of purpose with all types of organisations such as Google, EY, Grant Thornton, Virgin Media and Credit Suisse.

In this conversation, Jessica and Sope discuss topics such as:

??Transforming Emotion: Channeling Anger, Fear, and Shame into Stepping Stones to Success

??Rising Above Expulsion: How Childhood Trials Mold Our Adult Self

??Harnessing Personal Power: Directing Equal Energy to Career and Self-Development

??Embracing Enough: The Shift from Constant Doing to Serene Acceptance

??Transforming Emotion: Channeling Anger, Fear, and Shame into Stepping Stones to Success

??The Liberating Transition from Shame to Acceptance

??From Celebrity Representation to Humble Beginnings: The Tale of Launching Colour-Blind Cards
