Explore the concept of being “Shame Positive”—embracing shame rather than striving to eliminate it. Drawing from a recent meditation retreat with mentor Thomas McConkie, I explore how the desire to “fix” or “rid” ourselves of shame can ironically become another form of perfectionism. Through heartfelt reflection and real-life examples, I illustrate how allowing shame to exist fully within us is the very key to releasing it.
I also delve into the importance of acceptance, surrender, and self-compassion in healing. I will guide you through how moments of shame can become opportunities for growth, deeper connection, and authenticity—both in parenting and personal relationships. The episode closes with a reminder that self-help grounded in wholeness and abundance, not lack, leads to genuine transformation.
