Episode 2840:

Erica Layne shares a vulnerable moment of parental guilt that reveals a deeper, long-held shame trigger: the belief that she's "too spacey" to manage details. By identifying the origin and emotional weight of this trigger, she offers a compassionate path for recognizing and releasing the shame that often hides behind our perceived flaws, helping us understand that self-awareness is the key to emotional freedom.

Quotes to ponder:

"I could see where the shame was coming from, but nothing I told myself helped me release it."

"I internalized some shoulds that weren't moral. They weren't good or bad, or right or wrong, honestly, they were just preference."
