This week, we are by Annette for a heartfelt (and often hilarious) conversation about shame, blame, and the messy journey of self-improvement.
Annette shares personal stories—ranging from gouging the family van as a teenager to her unforgettable Haagen Dazs cravings during pregnancy—that show how making mistakes really is part of the plan. Together, Ken and Annette dig into why we’re so quick to feel bad when we fall short, how our religious and cultural backgrounds shape our expectations of “perfection,” and whether shame actually helps us grow or just keeps us stuck.
Is it possible to strive for better without beating ourselves up? What should true repentance and real change look like? And most importantly… does eating too many desserts really make you a “bad” person? (Spoiler: probably not—in fact, you might get an argument in favor of extra dessert here.)
Filled with warmth, wisdom, banter, and plenty of cake talk, this episode invites you to rethink what it really means to change, forgive yourself, and give yourself a little grace along the way. Let’s dive in!
