Shame is a powerful emotion and happens to all of us. It involves looking inwardly in a harsh way with a critical eye while we beat ourselves up even for the smallest mistakes.
We are so overly critical of ourselves, and then we hide or bury our feelings of shame when we need to learn to release them with people who have earned the right to hear our stories.
Through sharing our stories, we free ourselves from some of the pain we are carrying and holding inside of ourselves.
What’s in the episode:
- Why shame needs words and a voice to be free
- Hustling for worthiness to account for our believed inadequacies
- Six types of people not to share your shame story with
- How to exercise compassion towards ourselves and others
“You have to love yourself enough to reach out for help and support when going through hard things. ”-Kim Strobel
