How to Turn Shame Into Connection: Why Normalizing Helps Us with Ginny Gay & Brandi Lust


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like this? That showing vulnerability is weakness, that asking for help is a sign of incompetence, or that everyone else has the very thing you’re struggling with all figured out? These misconceptions can lead us to isolate ourselves and feel shame about our own struggles. Ginny and Brandi are here to share the power of normalizing our human experiences and how it can dissolve shame and create meaningful connections between us. This is the first episode of a special 5-episode series we’re releasing called “Something To Normalize”.  

  • Embracing the universality of human experiences that lead to deeper connections 
  • Defining what it means to “normalize” something and how powerful it can be
  • Recognizing and learning to tackle the risks associated with normalizing detrimental behavior and attitudes
  • Harnessing the strength in vulnerability and cultivating spaces for open honesty
  • Talking about difficult experiences as an antidote to shame
  • Opening up about personal journeys while safeguarding your growth with healthy boundaries
