‘I was publicly shamed by ex-boyfriends.’
In this episode, Elizabeth G. is joined by Alex Fidoe, a property entrepreneur and close friend, for a deeply personal and candid discussion about overcoming shame, particularly in the context of abusive relationships. They explore their experiences with shame in various aspects of their lives, including relationships, parenting, and the workplace.
Elizabeth, with a background as a former sex worker, opens up about the intense societal judgement she faced and the transformative journey she undertook to overcome it. She shares how therapy played a crucial role in helping her find purpose and reclaim her sense of self-worth, despite the stigmas attached to her past profession. Elizabeth's story is a testament to the strength required to overcome public shame and abuse from ex-boyfriends.
Alex, on the other hand, provides insight into her life as a single mother and successful businesswoman in the competitive property industry. Her story is one of resilience and determination as she navigates the challenges of thriving in a male-dominated field while raising her children. She recounts her struggle to break free from a controlling and emotionally abusive relationship, detailing the steps she took to overcome shame and regain her independence and self-confidence. "It was definitely the right thing to do, and going through all of that has made me so much stronger and happier," Alex reflects.
Throughout their conversation, both Elizabeth and Alex emphasise the critical importance of setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, seeking professional therapy, and prioritising personal growth and happiness. They discuss the empowering effects of voicing their shame and how it has led them to a place of greater fulfilment and self-love.
Their dialogue serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience that can be found in vulnerability and the pursuit of one's true self.
