Today we are talking about developing shame resilience.

“Shame is something that we all have. It’s universal. Every human being experiences shame – those who don’t usually have some significant problems. It’s not a bad thing. That’s one good thing about shame – it means you are a caring human being.”

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• What is shame and why should we talk about it?
• How positive discipline relates to shame
• Shame and guilt – what’s the difference? How do they connect to humiliation and embarrassment?
• The physical sensations of shame
• The individual personal nature of shame
• Practicing critical awareness – how to reality check the messages that are driving your shame
• The value of having someone to talk through shame with
• What makes a good person to talk shame with
• How to encourage shame resilience in children
• Reducing shame by normalizing experiences
• Creating opportunities for belonging
• What it means to lead with the message with love
• How to connect without trying to fix
• Empathy and shame – how to support when you can’t relate to the experience
• Cultivating relationships that allow us to speak to our shame
• How to show up in your relationships that shows you are a safe place to talk shame
• Doing vs Being – their roles in building shame resilience
• Personal practices for finding joy within instead of looking to our children to complete us

What does Joyful Courage mean to you?

Taking risks with heart. The courage is taking the risks and moving ahead and doing it but doing it with your full being. The last couple years I’ve had some very significant deaths in my life and I think in so many ways it’s been a gift – it does highlight joy, the simple joy of being alive and how I’m able to be more grateful that I have this gift of life which isn’t going to last forever. Losing people who are close to us that’s the upside is that we go “Wow, this is temporary, this life, it really is.” I think when we get caught in the swirl of parenting we can ‘beam in’ – these other, bigger issues help us beam out. Joy helps with shame and getting perspective.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

What does Joyful Courage mean to you?

To take each day as it comes and look for what’s right about it not what’s wrong with it and to not be afraid of risk – I’ve never been a good risk taker but as a single mom I learned I have to take some. As someone who now travels the world teaching positive discipline I’ve gotten comfortable with getting on planes and flying off to Egypt by myself when I don’t know anybody there and some of the greatest joy and blessings of my life have been when I found the joy and courage to take an appropriate risk. You don’t have to fly to China or Egypt to do that. You can do it right in your own backyard. Certainly the single parents who are listening know that life can be risky on a pretty regular basis and being able to embrace that and learn the skills you need to be able to do that well will bring you joy in your kids, joy in your grandparents and joy in your own life. At the end of it, my son goes off into the horizon and I’m left with my life and what I make of it and I’m trying to do something with my life that I can be proud of and that’s what joyful courage means to me. It’s taken me all of these 60 years to figure that out.
