In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between the guilt that points us back to our values and the shame that keeps us small, silent, and striving for approval. 

We get into:

• ​Shame vs guilt and how to tell the difference
• ​How shame is used as a tool of control
• ​The “Bag of Shoulds” and the cost of performing for belonging

Join us as we get extremely real about some of our earliest experiences of shame around our bodies and behaviors.

Please note: This episode contains discussions about body image and eating disorders.
