How often do you catch yourself wondering, What’s wrong with me? If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of shame—you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with David Bedrick, author of The Unshaming Way, to explore how shame shapes our lives, how power and privilege protect themselves, and why unshaming is the real path to healing. We talk about how gaslighting (both internal and external) keeps us small, why recognizing our own privilege is essential as healers and leaders, and how we can rewrite the narratives that have been imposed on us. We also take a look at David’s astrology, including his Chiron in Aquarius, and how the “wounded healer” archetype plays into his life’s work. If you’ve ever struggled with internalized shame or questioned your place as a leader, this episode is for you.
