Shame is one of the most powerful yet quiet forces that can keep us from truly owning who we are and going after what we want. It sneaks in through past experiences, societal expectations, and self-imposed beliefs—keeping us small, stuck, and second-guessing ourselves.
In this episode, I sit down with Licensed Therapist and Mindset & Transformation Coach, Allison Guilbault, to dive deep into how shame shows up in our lives, how we can recognize its grip, and most importantly—how to let it go. Allison shares her personal experiences with shame, from climbing the corporate ladder only to feel miserable at the top, to quitting drinking and realizing how shame played a role in her personal struggles.
We break down what shame really is, how it affects the way we show up, and tangible ways to start releasing it. Whether you’ve felt weighed down by guilt, self-doubt, or fear of judgment, this episode will give you the tools and awareness to start shifting out of shame and into confidence and empowerment.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✔️ What shame actually is and why it’s such a heavy emotion
✔️ How shame subtly controls your thoughts, actions, and confidence
✔️ The connection between shame, self-worth, and decision-making
✔️ Why bringing shame into the light is the key to overcoming it
✔️ Simple, powerful techniques to break the shame cycle and step into self-compassion
✔️ How small steps lead to massive confidence and transformation
