TW: rape

We all feel shame at some point in our lives. It’s a powerful emotion that can completely take over, if we let it. Shame feeds on secrecy, and being hidden. So I use this episode to show you how I lit it up, and what can come out of life if you don’t let shame take control of what you think you deserve and what you’re capable of.

Key Points:

• I carried a lot of shame in my life for a lot of different reasons

• It multiplies the more you try to hide it or ignore it

• Shame is not the same thing as fear, and they shouldn’t be confused with one another

• Shining the light on your shame can sometimes be a rude, but necessary awakening

• People can do bad things, but it doesn’t make them bad people

• Rape isn’t defined by how it ends

• We all poop. Every single one of us

Mentioned in this Episode:

• Brene Brown: Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story. It hates having words around it - it can’t survive being shared. Shame loves secrecy. When we bury our story, shame metastasizes.
