Yo, Bizzy fam! In episode 565 of It’s Bizzy, I get raw about shame—that heavy weight I carried as an alcoholic. Celebrating 19 years in recovery, I share how I shed that scarlet letter, from TJ Maxx senior discounts to owning my wrinkles. Learn the difference between guilt and shame, why judgment stings, and how to embrace your messy, beautiful self with gratitude and community. Tune in to kick shame to the curb and live BIG! #ItsBizzy #LiveLoudLoveBig

Takeaways:

·       Shame lingers, but time heals with reflection.

·       Guilt says, “I did bad”; shame says, “I am bad.”

·       Self-acceptance is your key to freedom.

·       Others’ judgment can amplify shame—don’t let it.

·       Your past doesn’t define you; your whole self does.

·       Inner growth > outer appearances for true peace.

·       Community and gratitude melt shame away.

·       You’re never alone in your struggles.

🎧 Press play and arm yourself with the truth.
