Is shame keeping you from recognizing your value? In this episode, Brodie talks with Jennifer Kind, LPC, CDWF, EPC, a Psychotherapist and coach in Portland, OR who works with people cultivating more shame resilience, self-acceptance, and the ability to be kinder to themselves and others. Jen believes shame holds people back; it is not a good motivator for change. Shames breeds fear, anxiety, depression, and paralysis. It keeps us from becoming who we are; it keeps us from living our truth.

In this episode, we explore:

• The ways shame holds us back
• Unhealthy cultural attitudes about vulnerability
• How there can be no courage without vulnerability
• Ways shame can manifest in our bodies and emotions
• Ways to build resilience against shame
• The connection between shame and body image
