Shame, Striving and Believing You Matter
In this episode of 'The Courage to Fully Live', host Bekah shares two pivotal childhood experiences that planted seeds of shame tied to the belief that she wasn’t worth defending and didn’t matter.
She discusses the challenges of healing and emphasizes that true self-worth cannot be derived from external sources but must come from within, advocating for a deep, transformative approach to self-love that involves vulnerability, healing past wounds, and filling up one's own 'love tank' to enable authentic connections with others.
