I want to talk about shame on today’s episode, because this is something that we all deal with. I know when you’re caught in a shame spiral, it feels so isolating. But I promise that every single one of us deals with shame. Shame has a grip on many of our lives + drives so many of our actions.

The reason shame is so devastating is that it jeopardizes our place of love and belonging. We employ a variety of tactics to numb our shame: we try to fit in. We approval whore. We gladiate. We do everything we can to run away from shame and keep up the appearance that everything is fine.

Shame doesn’t have to control us. When we understand shame and stop running away from it, we can empower our lives. 

We all want to feel worthy. But to get to worthiness, we have to pass through shame. That takes courage and vulnerability. We have to be brave to live on this earth!

Courage is the one thing that will allow us to truly combat shame + embrace vulnerability.

In this week’s podcast episode we’re diving deep into shame and why courage is the only real antidote for it. We’ll talk about why it’s important to remember that we all deal with shame and discuss some of the ways we confront it. We will also chat about why things outside ourselves – like money, jobs, and accolades – can never banish shame from inside of us. And finally, we’ll dive into courage and why it’s the only true way to move through shame and come out on the other side into a life we love.
