In this episode, I discuss shame and some of the ways we can avoid feeling it, possibly without even realizing it, avenues through which shame can be woven into our lives (again, possibly without even realizing it), and how shame is useful sometimes, but not all the time.

To be clear, I do not come to this conversation as an expert-I’m barely a beginner, but the other day, it became clear to me that so much of my life has been guided by the desire to avoid feeling shame, and this discovery blew my mind wide open, and now, I’m exploring this side of life. Come along for the ride.
