It’s that nagging feeling you can’t shake…the inner voice that reminds you of failures past and all the reasons you’re not acceptable, qualified, or you don’t fit in. For many it’s an intensely painful feeling that causes a sense of rejection to grow, making them believe they will never become more than they are or achieve anything better than they have right now.

This week Terry wants to talk to you about the reality of shame, which is something everyone faces to some degree. He reveals the symptoms it causes, the dangers of giving in to it, and the keys to breaking free of it once and for all. The truth is you don’t have to live with it or let it defeat you. Like everyone else, you’ve made mistakes but you are not a mistake. You have experienced failures but that doesn’t make you a failure. Don’t settle for the lies shame brings, when you can have much more in this life!
