What if the very thing you're hiding is the key to your healing? In this powerful episode on vulnerability and shame healing, Raj reveals groundbreaking insights from hundreds of thousands of data points at transformation company Liber8, proving shame is the invisible force driving our deepest disconnection and loneliness.
Research shows loneliness impacts health more than smoking daily, and at the root lies shame: believing we're fundamentally flawed and must hide our darkest parts. This transforms how you understand shame and gives you practical tools to heal trauma, build self-compassion, and create authentic connections.
