Ever found yourself paralysed by shame (not for something you've done, but because of someone else's words or actions?)
This week we're diving into the tricky, uncomfortable feeling of shame, especially when it's been unfairly placed on us. And how to get over it so it doesn't affect us showing up for our business.
I'm sharing a personal story about how shame stopped me dead in my tracks with a project I truly loved, and how I've begun to move through it.
We'll talk openly about:
Why shame hits so hard, especially when it comes from someone we care about.
How to tell the difference between genuine criticism and unfair shaming.
Practical tools I'm using right now to push past shame and reclaim my joy.
The power of reframing, compassion, and—yes—even a good nap.
Because let's face it, life's way too short to let someone else's mean moment rob us of our creativity and joy.
We've got stuff to do - and we can't do it if we're crippled by shame.
Yeah?
