When Shift Hits the Fan: Guilt, Rulebooks, and Other People’s Feelings


Listen Later

📍 In this minisode of When Shift Hits the Fan, we step into a coaching moment where guilt shows up in a surprising place: receiving something good. What happens when your body registers guilt, not joy, in the middle of luxury or abundance?

Through guided body awareness and honest reflection, we uncover how guilt often acts as a protective shield—covering deeper beliefs like “I’m responsible for how other people feel” or “good people don’t have nice things.”

💡 What You’ll Hear:

  • How to sense your body and locate where emotions live (and what they look and feel like)

  • Why guilt often masks deeper, inherited rules about worthiness and responsibility

  • The “rulebook problem”: how unspoken expectations about being “good” create cycles of shame

  • A practical reframing exercise that helps you separate your feelings from other people’s reactions



👉 Whether it’s in your family, friendships, or work, this short conversation will help you recognize guilt for what it is: not a moral compass, but a signal pointing toward the beliefs you can choose to rewrite.
