"If shame feeds off of loneliness and convincing you that you’re the only one - and that’s taken away - then shame gets taken away. In place of shame comes acceptance, power and the ability to move forward through what it is you’re going through." - Ashley LeMieux Today you will get to hear from Ashley Lemieux. She is the founder and CEO of The Shine Project.
