What are you still blaming yourself for that was never your fault? In this transformative episode of Journeys With My Body, we explore how shame becomes the central wound in women's healing journeys, not just a symptom but the core issue beneath anxiety, perfectionism, and disconnection.
Discover the crucial difference between guilt ("I did something bad") and internalized shame ("I am bad") and how this distinction changes everything about your healing path. Through powerful examples, learn to recognize how shame manifests in your body—from rounded shoulders and shallow breathing to chronic tension—creating physical patterns that keep you small and disconnected from your authentic self.
This episode reveals how shame is systematically passed down through generations of women, teaching us to apologize for existing before we've even spoken. Uncover the impossible contradictions we're taught: be smart but not intimidating, successful but not threatening, confident but not aggressive—rules designed to ensure you'll always fall short somewhere.
Most importantly, you'll learn practical approaches to breaking the shame cycle through vulnerability, connection, and self-compassion practices. Healing doesn't mean never feeling shame again; it means changing your relationship with it, recognizing when shame is speaking, and choosing a different response.
Perfect for deep-feeling women, high achievers, and those who hold space for everyone else while carrying their own silent burdens. Your journey to reclaiming what shame silenced begins with understanding: the shame you carry was handed down, but you can be the one who breaks the chain.
